Panasonic DMC-G10 Operating Instructions - Page 126

Advanced (Recording pictures) It will set so no picture can be taken when it is out of focus. [FOCUS PRIORITY] [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. • 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. Illuminating the subject makes it easier for the camera to focus when recording in low light conditions that make focusing difficult. [AF ASSIST LAMP] [OFF]: [ON]: The AF Assist Lamp does not turn 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.) • 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 is attached and at Wide: Approx. 1.0 m (3.28 feet) to 3.0 m (9.84 feet) • The AF Assist Lamp is valid only for the subject in the center of the screen. Use it by positioning the subject in the center 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 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. [AF+MF] It is possible to adjust focus manually after it was adjusted automatically. [OFF] [ON]: It is possible to finely adjust the focus manually by rotating the focus ring while AF lock (Focus Mode is set to [AFS] and shutter button is half-way pressed, or AF lock with [AF/AE LOCK]). In Manual Focus, the assistance screen appears on the screen to facilitate focusing on the subject. [MF ASSIST] [OFF] [ON]: Center of the screen will be enlarged automatically when the focus ring is rotated. • Refer to P73 for details. 126 VQT2S62
