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
•
When you do not want to use the AF assist lamp
A
(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.
•
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.
