Recording

- 126 -

Applicable modes:

The AF Assist Lamp will illuminate the subject when the shutter release button is pressed

half-way making it easier for the camera to focus when recording in low light conditions. (A

larger AF frame is displayed depending on the recording conditions.)

[OFF]/[ON]

Notes

•

The effective range of the AF Assist Lamp is approx. 5' / 1.5m.

• When you do not want to use the AF Assist Lamp A (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.

• Remove the lens hood.

• A vignetting effect may appear on the circumference of the AF Assist Lamp

because the AF Assist Lamp may be obscured by the lens, however, this

does not cause a problem with the performance of the camera.

• In the following cases, [AF ASSIST LAMP] is fixed to [OFF].

– In [NIGHT SCENERY], [HANDHELD NITE SHOT] and [ILLUMINATIONS] in

[NIGHT PORTRAIT]

– In [SUNSET], [PANNING], [FIREWORKS] and [AERIAL PHOTO] in Scene Mode

• Refer to P67 for details.

Applicable modes:

2nd curtain synchro activates the flash just before the shutter closes. This function can

help to produce more natural looking flash pictures with slower shutter speeds of moving

subjects which have their own light sources.

Notes

•

Set it to [1ST] for normal use.

• [2nd] is displayed in the flash icon on the screen if you set [FLASH SYNCHRO] to [2ND].

• When a fast shutter speed is set, the effect of [2ND] may not be apparent.
