[AF ASSIST LAMP] Focusing in low light conditions becomes easier

Press [ MENUSET ] to display the [REC] mode menu and select the item to set. (P75) Illuminating the subject makes it easier for the camera to focus when recording in low light conditions that make focusing difficult.

A

[ON]

If the AF assist lamp A is set to

 

 

[ON], it turns on when you press

 

 

the shutter button halfway in dark

 

 

places etc. The effective range of

 

 

the AF assist lamp is about 1.5 m

 

 

(4.92 feet) to about 3.0 m

 

 

(9.84 feet). (when the supplied

 

 

lens is attached and at Wide)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[OFF]

The AF assist lamp does not turn

 

 

on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be careful about the following when using the AF assist lamp.

Do not look at the AF assist lamp from close up.

Do not attach the lens hood.

Do not cover the AF assist lamp with your fingers or other objects.

When you do not want to use the AF assist lamp (e.g. when taking pictures of animals in dark places), set the

[AF ASSIST LAMP] to [OFF]. In this case, it will become more difficult to focus on the subject.

When you use a lens with a large filter diameter that obscures the AF assist lamp, shadows may appear on the picture and the performance of the camera may deteriorate.

[OIS MODE]

Optical Image Stabilizer

Press [ MENUSET ] to display the [REC] mode menu and select the item to set. (P75) This mode detects jitter and compensates for it.

Check that the [O.I.S.] switch on the lens is set to [ON].

[MODE1]

The stabilizer operates

(

 

 

 

)

 

 

 

continuously and can assist

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

during photo composition.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[MODE2]

The jitter is compensated for

(

 

 

)

 

 

 

when the shutter button is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pressed. There is a greater

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

stabilizing effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The stabilizer function may not be effective in the following cases.

When there is a lot of jitter.

When the zoom magnification is high.

When using the digital zoom.

When taking pictures while following a moving subject.

When the shutter speed becomes

slower to take pictures indoors or in dark places.

Be careful of camera jitter when you press the shutter button.

You cannot select [OIS MODE] if you use a lens with no stabilizer function.
