This function allows you to record color images in very low light situations. (Minimum
required illumination: approx. 1 lx)
Recorded scene is seen as if frames were missed.
If set in a bright place, the screen may become washed out for a while.
Bright dots that are usually invisible may be seen, but this is not a malfunction.
Using a tripod is recommended.
In darker areas, Auto Focus may focus a bit slower. This is normal.
It is possible to record with illumination even in dark places.
Each time the
icon is selected, the indication changes by one setting in the following
order.
([ON])
([AUTO])
([OFF])
:
Always on.
: Turns on/off automatically according to brightness of the surroundings.
:
Cancel the setting.
When set to
([AUTO]), the video light turns on in Low Light Mode in Intelligent Auto
Mode.
When the video light is in use, the recordable time when using the battery is shortened.
The (approximate) available range of the Video Light is approximately up to 1.5 m
(4.9 feet).
Using the Color Night Rec function at the same time will make conditions even brighter.
When you take a picture in a dark place in still picture recording mode with the [AF ASSIST
LAMP] set to [AUTO] (
F
72), and the video light set to
([AUTO]) or
([OFF]), the
lamp is turned on to make it easier to focus.
Set the video light to off at places where using a light is prohibited.
