Shooting still images Using the flash Flash emitter Hologram AF emitter The flash automatically pops up and strobes when the surroundings are dark. Close the flash by hand after using it. • When [ISO] is set to [Auto] in the menu settings, the recommended shooting distance using the flash is approx. 0.4 m to 3 m (15 3/4 inches to 118 1/8 inches) (W)/0.4 m to 2.5 m (15 3/4 inches to 98 1/2 inches) (T). • The flash strobes twice. The first time is the pre-flash which is used to adjust the flash light quantity, and the second time is the actual flash during which the image is recorded. • While the flash is being charged, the CHG/ (flash) lamp flashes. After charging is completed, the lamp goes out. • You can also select the following flash modes: (Forced flash), SL (Slow synchro), and (No flash). For details on these modes, see page 69. Shooting images with the Hologram AF The hologram AF is fill light to focus more easily on a subject in dark surroundings. The ON appears on the LCD screen and the hologram AF emits red light when the shutter button is pressed halfway until the focus is locked. When this function is not needed, set [Hologram AF] to [Off] in the SET UP settings (page 140). • If hologram AF light does not reach the subject sufficiently or the subject has no contrast, focus will not be achieved. (An approximate distance of 0.5 m to 3.0 m (19 3/4 inches to 118 1/8 inches) is recommended.) • Focus is achieved as long as hologram AF light reaches the subject, even if the light is slightly off the center of the subject. • When the focus preset distance is set (page 69), the hologram AF does not function. • If the hologram AF emitter is dirty, the hologram AF light may be dimmed and focus may not be achieved. In this case, wipe the hologram AF emitter with a dry cloth. • Do not block the hologram AF emitter during recording. • The AF range finder frame is not displayed. AF range finder frame indicator flashes and the centrally-located subject has priority to focus on. • When you mount an adaptor ring (not supplied), telephoto end conversion lens (not supplied), lens hood (not supplied) or ring light (not supplied) to the camera, the hologram AF light is blocked. We recommend using hologram AF together with the Sony HVLF32X flash. • The hologram AF does not function when [SCN] (Scene) is set to (Twilight mode) or (Landscape mode). 35
