• If you set [OFF], be careful as the picture may not be properly focused even if [AFS] or [AFC] in
Focus Mode is set.
• [AFS] or [AFC] will not operate with certain lenses. For details, refer to page 15.
• This does not operate during motion picture recording.
• The effective range of the AF assist lamp is different depending on used lens.
– When 20 mm/F1.7 lens included in DMC-GF1C is attached: Approx. 1.0 m to 3.5 m
– When 14–45 mm/F3.5–5.6 lens included in DMC-GF1K is attached and at Wide: Approx.
1.0 m to 3.0 m
• 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.
• Remove the lens hood.
• 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.
• The setting for the [AF ASSIST LAMP] is fixed to [OFF] in [SCENERY], [ARCHITECTURE],
[NIGHT SCENERY] and [SUNSET] in Scene Mode.
• Refer to P74 for details.
[FOCUS PRIORITY]
It will set so no picture can be taken when it is out of focus.
[OFF]: This gives priority to the best time to take a picture so
you can take a picture when the shutter button is
pressed fully.
[ON]: You cannot take a picture until the subject is brought
into focus.
[AF ASSIST LAMP]
Illuminating the subject makes it easier for the camera to focus
when recording in low light conditions that make focusing difficult.
[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.)
[AF+MF]
It is possible to adjust focus manually after it was adjusted
automatically.
[OFF]
[ON]: It is possible to finely adjust the focus manually by
rotating the focus ring while AF lock (Focus Mode is
set to [AFS] and shutter button is half-way pressed, or
AF lock with [AF/AE LOCK]).
[MF ASSIST]
In Manual Focus, the assistance screen appears on the screen to
facilitate focusing on the subject.

[ON]: Centre of the screen will be enlarged automatically
when the focus ring is rotated.
