Using the Autofocus-Assist Light - Bouncing Your Flash
Using the Autofocus-Assist Light
Camera autofocus systems can have difculty locking onto a subject in dim light. When the ambient light level
is low, the VS-570OP will emit a red autofocus-assist beam when you press your camera’s shutter-release
button halfway to autofocus. The camera will then be able to autofocus by locking onto the projected light.
Important! The AF assist light may not be supported by all Micro Four Thirds cameras.
Bouncing Your Flash
Using ash to directly illuminate a subject often creates harsh, unnatural, and unattractive shadows. To avoid
this, the ash can be tilted or swiveled, allowing you to aim your ash at a large white or neutral-colored
surface, such as a ceiling, a wall, or a reector. The light will bounce off of the larger surface before striking
your subject, providing softer, more natural illumination.
