Panasonic DMC FZ 28, DMCFZ28K operating instructions Audio REC, AF Assist Lamp

Advanced (Recording pictures)

•Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to slower speed might increase the chance of jitter, so we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for taking pictures.

•Setting [MIN. SHTR SPEED] to faster speed might make the picture darker, so we recommend recording the picture in well-lit area. If correct exposure cannot be achieved, [ ] will flash in red when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

B[AUDIO REC.]

For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to P22.

Audio can be recorded simultaneously with the image. You can record the conversation during the shooting or the situation as a memo.

Applicable modes:

[OFF]: Audio will not be recorded.

[ON]: [B] is displayed on the screen.

Audio will be recorded as soon as the image is recorded. (It will stop in 5 seconds)

•If you press [MENU/SET] during audio recording, the audio recording is canceled.

Note

•Audio is recorded from the built-in microphone on the camera.

•Audio recorded with this unit may not playback on other equipment.

F[AF ASSIST LAMP]

For details on [REC] mode menu settings, refer to P22.

Illuminating the subject makes it easier for the camera to focus when recording in low light conditions that make focusing difficult.

Applicable modes:

[OFF]: The AF assist lamp does not turn on.

[ON]: When taking pictures in dark places, the AF assist lamp lights while the shutter button is pressed halfway. (Larger AF areas are now displayed.)

Note

•The effective range of the AF assist lamp is 1.5 m (4.92 feet).

•When you do not want to use the AF assist lamp A (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.

• Remove the lens hood.

• A vignetting effect may appear on the circumference of the AF assist lamp because the AF assist lamp may be obscured by the lens, however, this does not cause a problem with the performance of the camera.
