Shooting with an auxiliary light – HOLOGRAM AF
The HOLOGRAM AF is an auxiliary light source used for focusing on subjects in dark
places.
The POWER switch should be set to .
Set HOLOGRAM F in to AUTO in the menu settings. (The default setting is AUTO.)
When appears on the screen in a dark place, press PHOTO lightly. Then the
HOLOGRAM AF emitter automatically emits auxiliary light until the subject is focused.
About HOLOGRAM AF
“HOLOGRAM AF (Auto-Focus),” an application of laser holograms, is an AF optical
system that enables still image shooting in dark places. Having gentler radiation than
conventional high-brightness LEDs or lamps, the system satisfies Laser Class 1 (*)
specification and thus maintains higher safety for human eyes.
No safety problems will be caused by directly looking into the HOLOGRAM AF emitter
at a close range. However, it is not recommended to do so, because you may experience
such effects like several minutes of image residual and dazzling, that you encounter
after looking into a flashlight.
* HOLOGRAM AF satisfies Class 1(time base 30,000 seconds), specified in all of JIS
(Japan), IEC(EU), and FDA(US) industry standards.
Complying with these standards ensures that the laser product is safe, under a
condition that a human looks at the laser light either directly or even through a lens
for 30,000 seconds.
Notes
•Attaching a conversion lens (optional) may obstruct the HOLOGRAM AF light and
make focusing difficult.
•If enough light does not reach the subject even if the HOLOGRAM AF emitter emits
light (recommended shooting distance is up to 2.5 m (8 1/3 feet)), the subject will not
be focused.
The HOLOGRAM AF does not emit light in the following cases:
– When the POWER switch is set to CAMERA.
– NightShot
– Flash is set to (no flash).
– SUNSETMOON of PROGRAM AE
– LANDSCAPE of PROGRAM AE
– Manual focus
– Spot Focus
– Continuous photo recording
