[AF ASSIST LAMP]
•
The effective range of the AF Assist Lamp is different depending on used lens.
–
When the 14 –140 mm/F4.0 –5.8 lens supplied in DMC-GH2H is attached and at
Wide: Approx. 1.0 m to 3.0 m
–
When the 14 –42 mm/F3.5 – 5.6 lens supplied in DMC-GH2K is attached and at
Wide: Approx. 1.0 m to 3.0 m
•
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 lens supplied in the DMC-GH2H/
DMC-GH2K 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 for the [AF ASSIST LAMP] is fixed to [OFF] in [SCENERY] Mode and
[NIGHT SCENERY], [SUNSET] in Scene Mode.
