Panasonic DMC-L1K Operating Instructions Manual page 35

• The camera focuses on any of 3 focus
area points- left, right or centre - in the
AF frame and a lamp (AF-LED display)
lights where the subject is focused. You
can change the setting for the AF frame
and the AF-LED display in the
[CUSTOM] menu. (P86)
• Refer to P35 for information about
programme shift.
• The focus range is 29 cm to ¶. (when
the supplied lens is attached)
• If the ISO sensitivity is set to [ISO100]
and the aperture value is set to F2.8
(when the supplied lens is attached),
the shutter speed is automatically set
between about 4 seconds and 1/4000th
of a second.
5 Press the shutter button fully to
take the picture.
• A picture is not taken until the subject is
brought into focus.
• If you want to press the shutter button
fully to take a picture even when the
subject is not focused, set
[FOCUS PRIORITY] in the [CUSTOM]
menu to [OFF]. (P89)
• We recommend checking that the clock is
set properly before taking pictures. (P28)
• When a time is set for power save (P30),
the camera automatically turns off if you
do not operate it within the set time. To
operate the camera again, press the
shutter button halfway or turn the camera
off and on.
• To avoid picture noise, we recommend
reducing the ISO sensitivity before taking
pictures. (P74) (ISO sensitivity is set to
[AUTO] when the camera is shipped.
Therefore, when taking pictures indoors
etc. the ISO sensitivity increases.)
• When you use a lens with no aperture
ring, press [FUNC.1] and then rotate the
command dial to set the aperture.
∫ Programme shift
In programme AE mode, you can change
the preset aperture value and shutter
speed without changing the exposure. This
is called programme shift.
You can make the background more blurred
by decreasing the aperture value or record
a moving subject more dynamically by
slowing the shutter speed when taking a
picture in programme AE mode.
• Press the shutter button halfway and then
press 3/4 or rotate the command dial A
to activate programme shift while the
aperture value and the shutter speed are
displayed on the Viewfinder (about
10 seconds).
