Shooting with an auxiliary light – HOLOGRAM AF
The POWER switch should be set to .
The HOLOGRAM AF is an auxiliary light source used for focusing on subjects in dark
places.
Set HOLOGRAM F in to AUTO in the menu settings. (The default setting is AUTO.)
When appears on the screen in a dark place, press PHOTO lightly. Then the
auxiliary light will automatically emit until the subject is focused.
About HOLOGRAM AF
“HOLOGRAM AF (Auto-Focus),” an application of laser holograms, is a new AF
optical system that enables still image shooting in dark places. Having gentler radiation
than conventional high-brightness LEDs or lamps, the system satisfies Laser Class 1 (*)
specification and thus maintains higher safety for human eyes.
No safety problems will be caused by directly looking into the HOLOGRAM AF emitter
at a close range. However, it is not recommended to do so, because you may experience
such effects like several minutes of image residual and dazzling, that you encounter
after looking into a flashlight.
* HOLOGRAM AF satisfies Class 1(time base 30,000 seconds), specified in all of JIS
(Japan), IEC(EU), and FDA(US) industry standards.
Complying with these standards identifies the laser product to be safe, under a
condition that a human looks at the laser light either directly or even through a lens
for 30,000 seconds.
Notes
•A conversion lens (optional) may obstruct the HOLOGRAM AF light and make
focusing difficult.
•If enough light does not reach the subject even if the HOLOGRAM AF emitter is
emitted (recommended shooting distance is up to 2.5 m (8 1/3 feet)), the subject will
not be focused.
The HOLOGRAM AF does not emit in the following cases:
– When the POWER switch is set to CAMERA
– NightShot
– Flash is set to (no flash)
– SUNSETMOON of PROGRAM AE
– LANDSCAPE of PROGRAM AE
– Manual focus
– Spot Focus
– Continuous photo recording
Recording still images on “Memory Stick”
– Memory Photo recording
