[ AF ASSIST LAMP]
Focusing in low light conditions
becomes easier
Illuminating the subject with the AF assist
lamp allows the camera to focus on the
subject in low light conditions.
If the AF assist lamp is set to
[ON], an AF area with a size
wider than usual is displayed
and the AF assist lamp A turns
on.
ON The AF assist lamp turns on
under low light conditions. In this
time, the AF assist lamp icon
[S] appears on the screen. The
effective range of the AF assist
lamp is 1.5 m (4.92 feet).
OFF The AF assist lamp does not turn
on.
Be sure of the following points when the
AF assist lamp is in use.
Do not look into the AF assist lamp
closely.
Do not cover the AF assist lamp with
your fi ngers or other objects.
When you do not want to use the AF
assist lamp (e.g. when you take a picture
of animals in a dark place), set the [AF
ASSIST LAMP] to [OFF]. In this case, it
becomes diffi cult to focus on the subject.
The AF assist lamp is fi xed to [ON] while
