Illuminating the subject makes it easier for
the camera to focus when recording in low
light conditions that make focusing difficult.
•If the AF assist lamp is
set to [ON], an AF area
with a size wider than
usual is displayed and the
AF assist lamp A turns
on when you press the shutter button
halfway in dark places etc.
•Be careful about the following when using
the AF assist lamp.
–Do not look at the AF assist lamp at
close range.
–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
[AFASSIST LAMP] to [OFF]. In this case,
it will become more difficult to focus on the
subject.
•The setting for [AF ASSIST LAMP] is fixed
to [ON] in simple mode [ ].
•The setting for the [AFASSIST LAMP] is
fixed to [OFF] in [SELF PORTRAIT],
[SCENERY], [NIGHT SCENERY],
[SUNSET], [FIREWORKS] and
[AERIAL PHOTO] in scene mode.

When taking pictures in dark places with
low light, you can take pictures which are
brighter than normal by selecting a setting
even slower than the slowest setting of the
shutter speed.
•The slow shutter speeds you can select
are: [1/8–], [1/4–], [1/2–] and [1–].
•This is effective if you want to take bright
pictures of both a night landscape and a
subject using [NIGHT PORTRAIT] in
scene mode.
•This should usually be set to [1/8–] to take
pictures. (When you select a slow shutter
speed other than [1/8–], [ ] appears on
the lower left of the screen.)
•When the shutter speed is made slower
using [SLOW SHUTTER], jitter is likely to
occur. We recommend using a tripod and
the self-timer for taking pictures.
•You cannot set the slow shutter in
Intelligent ISO sensitivity mode [ ] and
simple mode [ ] and [SPORTS],
[NIGHT SCENERY], [BABY1]/[BABY2],
[PET], [HI-SPEED BURST],
[STARRY SKY] and [FIREWORKS] in
scene mode.
