Note
The battery will be consumed faster than usual.
Press the shutter button halfway again when it is difficult to focus on the subject.
When [PRE AF] is set to [ ], it may take time to focus on the subject if you rotate the zoom
ring from Wide to Tele or suddenly change the subject from a distant one to a nearby one.
[PRE AF] does not work during the Preview Mode.
[PRE AF] does not work with lenses that do not allow Auto Focus and Four Thirds mount
specification lens not compatible to contrast AF. [ ] does not work with lenses for which the
Focus Mode cannot be set to [AFC]. (P19)
Refer to P82, 84 for details.
If you set [OFF], be careful as the picture may not be properly focused even if [AFS] or [AFC] in
Focus Mode is set.
This does not operate during motion picture recording.
The effective range of the AF Assist Lamp is different depending on used lens.
When the 14–42 mm/F3.5–5.6 lens included in DMC-G2K is attached and at Wide: Approx.
1.0 m (3.28 feet) to 3.0 m (9.84 feet)
The AF Assist Lamp is valid only for the subject in the center of the screen. Use it by
positioning the subject in the center of the screen.
Remove the lens hood.
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.
The AF Assist Lamp gets slightly blocked when the lens included in the DMC-G2K is used, but
it does not affect the performance.
The AF Assist Lamp may be greatly blocked, and it may become harder to focus when a lens
with large diameter is used.
The setting for the [AF ASSIST LAMP] is fixed to [OFF] in [SCENERY] Mode,
[NIGHT SCENERY] or [CREATIVE NIGHT SCENERY] in [NIGHT PORTRAIT] Mode, and
[SUNSET] in Scene Mode.
[DIRECT FOCUS
AREA]
Move the AF area or MF assist easily during recording.
[OFF]
[ON]: When
[š], [ ] or [Ø] is selected in AF Mode, it is
possible to move the AF area freely with 3/4/2/1.
Move the MF assist during the Manual Focus.
[FOCUS PRIORITY]
It will set so no picture can be taken when it is out of focus.
[OFF]: This gives priority to the best time to take a picture so
you can take a picture when the shutter button is
pressed fully.
[ON]:
You cannot take a picture until the subject is brought into focus.
[AF ASSIST LAMP]
Illuminating the subject makes it easier for the camera to focus
when recording in low light conditions that make focusing difficult.
[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.)
