[ON] If the AF assist lamp A is set to
[ON], it turns on when you press
the shutter button halfway in dark
places etc. The effective range of
the AF assist lamp is about 1.5 m
to about 3.0 m. (when the supplied
lens is attached and at Wide)
[OFF] The AF assist lamp does not turn
on.
• Be careful about the following when using
the AF assist lamp.
– Do not look at the AF assist lamp from
close up.
– Do not attach the lens hood.
– Do not cover the AF assist lamp with
your fingers or other objects.
• 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.
• When you use a lens with a large filter
diameter that obscures the AF assist
lamp, shadows may appear on the picture
and the performance of the camera may
deteriorate.
