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 supplied in the DMC-GH2H/
DMC-GH2K 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 and
[NIGHT SCENERY], [SUNSET] in Scene Mode.
