6. Focus and Brightness (Exposure) Settings
Turning on/not turning on the AF Assist Lamp
AF assist lamp will illuminate the subject when the shutter button is pressed halfway,
making it easier for the camera to focus when recording in low light conditions.
(Larger AF area is displayed depending on the recording conditions.)
The effective range of the AF Assist Lamp is different depending on the lens used.
When the interchangeable lens (H-FS12032) is attached and at Wide:
Approx. 1.0 m (3.3 feet) to 3.0 m (9.8 feet)
When the interchangeable lens (H-H020A) is attached:
Approx. 1.0 m (3.3 feet) to 5.0 m (16 feet)
The AF Assist Lamp is valid only for the subject in the centre of the screen. Use it by
positioning the subject in the centre of the screen.
Remove the lens hood.
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.
The AF Assist Lamp gets slightly blocked when the interchangeable lens (H-FS12032/
H-H020A) is used, but it does not affect the performance.
The AF Assist Lamp may be greatly blocked, and it may become harder to focus when a lens
with large diameter is used.
The setting is fixed to [OFF] in the following cases.
[Distinct Scenery]/[Bright Blue Sky]/[Romantic Sunset Glow]/[Vivid Sunset Glow]/[Glistening
Water]/[Clear Nightscape]/[Cool Night Sky]/[Warm Glowing Nightscape]/[Artistic Nightscape]/
[Handheld Night Shot] (Scene Guide Mode)
When [Silent Mode] is set to [ON]
[MENU] > [Custom] > [AF Assist Lamp] > [ON]/[OFF]
