Illuminating the subject makes it easier for
the camera to focus when recording in low
light conditions that make focusing difficult.
• Be careful about the following when using
the AF assist lamp.
– Do not look at the AF assist lamp from
close up.
– Do not attach the lens hood.
– 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
[AF ASSIST LAMP] to [OFF]. In this case,
it will become more difficult to focus on the
subject.
• When you use a lens with a large filter
diameter that obscures the AF assist
lamp, shadows may appear on the picture
and the performance of the camera may
deteriorate.
