Using the Autofocus-Assist Light
The diffuser also softens the light, providing an alternative when no surface is available for bouncing the flash
(see
Bouncing Your Flash
on page 27).
Using the Autofocus-Assist Light
Camera autofocus systems can have difficulty locking onto a subject in dim light. When the ambient light level
is low, the VS-510OP will emit a red autofocus-assist beam when you press your camera’s shutter-release
button halfway to autofocus. The camera will then be able to autofocus by locking onto the projected light.
Important!
The AF assist light may not be supported by all Micro Four Thirds cameras.
