Focus and 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-H020A) is attached: Approx. 1.0 m (3.3 feet) to 5.0 m
(16 feet)
– When the interchangeable lens (H-FS1442A) is attached and at Wide: Approx. 1.0 m
(3.3 feet) to 3.0 m (9.8 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 may be greatly blocked, and it may become harder to focus when a lens
with large diameter is used.
• The setting for the [AF Assist Lamp] 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]
(Scene Guide Mode)
Recording/not recording even when focus is not achieved
[FOCUS]:
You cannot take a picture until the subject is brought into focus.
[RELEASE]:
This gives priority to the best time to take a picture so you can take a picture when the
shutter button is pressed fully.
•
Keep in mind that when [RELEASE] is set, focus may not be achieved even if the focus mode
lever is set to [AF].
• [Focus/Release Priority] is disabled during motion picture recording.
Adjusting/not adjusting the focus manually after achieving Auto Focus
When AF Lock is ON (press the shutter button halfway with the [AFS/AFF/AFC] set to
[AFS] or set AF Lock using [AF/AE LOCK]), you can make fine adjustments to the focus
manually.
