For details on [REC] Mode menu settings, refer to P27.
Illuminating the subject makes it easier for the camera to focus when recording in low light
conditions that make focusing difficult.
Applicable modes:
[AF ASSIST LAMP]
[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 [AFASSIST 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.
•In the following cases, [AFASSIST LAMP] is fixed to [OFF].
–In [NIGHT SCENERY], [ILLUMINATIONS] and [CREATIVE NIGHT SCENERY] in
[NIGHT PORTRAIT]
–In [SUNSET], [PANNING], [FIREWORKS] and [AERIAL PHOTO] in Scene Mode
