• Be sure of the following points when the

AF assist lamp is in use.
– Do not look in to the AF assist lamp

closely.

], the setting on the

[AF ASSIST LAMP] is fixed to [ON].

• When you do not want to use the AF

assist lamp (e.g. when you take a picture
of a subject in a dark place), set the [AF

becomes difficult to focus on the subject.

• The AF area is set only to a point on the

centre of the screen when the AF assist
lamp is turned on.

• 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.

It is possible to further magnify a subject
already magnified 12 times with the optical
zoom 4 more times with the digital zoom,
thereby reaching a maximum of 48 times.

∫ Entering the digital zoom range
When you rotate the zoom lever to the
extreme Tele position, the on-screen zoom
indication may momentarily pause. This is
not a malfunction.
You can enter the digital zoom range by
continuously rotating the zoom lever to Tele
or releasing the zoom lever once and then
rotate it to Tele again.
