Af Auxiliary Light - Leica X Vario Instructions Manual

Notes:
• The setting is stored along with the exposure setting.
• In certain situations the AF system is unable to set the distance
correctly, e.g. when:
– the distance to the subject you are aiming at is outside the
available range, and/or
– the subject is not sufficiently illuminated (see next section).
Such situations and subjects are indicated by:
– The color of the rectangle changing to red
– The 11-field metering display changes to a single red rectangle
Important:
The shutter button (8) is not locked regardless of whether or not the
distance setting is correct for the relevant subject.

AF AUXILIARY LIGHT

The built-in AF auxiliary light (2) extends the operating range of the AF
system to take account of poor lighting conditions. If the function is
active, this light is lit under appropriate conditions as soon as the
shutter button (8) is pressed.
Select in the menu, and the desired setting in the
AF Assist Lamp
submenu
Note:
The AF auxiliary light illuminates a range of approximately 4m.
Therefore, in poor lighting conditions AF mode is not available at
distances beyond this limit.
