[DIRECT AF AREA]
Refer to P72 for details.
[FOCUS PRIORITY]
If you set [OFF], be careful as the picture may not be properly focused even if [AFS] or [AFC] in
Focus Mode is set.
This does not operate during motion picture recording.
[AF ASSIST LAMP]
The effective range of the AF assist lamp is different depending on used lens.
When the 14 –42 mm/F3.5 – 5.6 lens included in DMC-G10K/DMC-G10W is attached and at
Wide: Approx. 1.0 m to 3.0 m
When the 45 –200 mm/F4.0 –5.6 lens included in DMC-G10W is attached and at
Wide: Approx. 1.0 m to 2.5 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 included in the DMC-G10K or
DMC-G10W 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,
[NIGHT SCENERY] or [CREATIVE NIGHT SCENERY] in [NIGHT PORTRAIT] mode, and
[SUNSET] in scene mode.
Position and size of the AF area can be modified easily during
recording.
[OFF]
[ON]:
AF area can be moved freely with 3/4/2/1 when
[Ø] is selected.
It will set so no picture can be taken when it is out of focus.
[OFF]:
This gives priority to the best time to take a picture so
you can take a picture when the shutter button is
pressed fully.
[ON]:
You cannot take a picture until the subject is brought
into focus.
Illuminating the subject makes it easier for the camera to focus
when recording in low light conditions that make focusing difficult.
[OFF]:
The AF assist lamp does not turn on.
[ON]:
When taking pictures in dark places, the AF assist
lamp lights while the shutter button is pressed halfway.
(Larger AF areas are now displayed.)
