Starlight AF

Engaging Panasonic Starlight AF:

• The camera should (optionally) be mounted on a tripod for stability in long exposures with image stabilization turned OFF when using a tripod.
• Set AF to AFS, AFF or AFC.
• Place the AF box in the center of the viewfinder or monitor.
• Visible stars need to be located within the AF box.
• Half-press and hold the shutter release (or cable release) to activate the LOW indicator ~2 seconds after the shutter button has been half-pressed and held, presuming that one is in a low-light situation.
• Once the LOW indicator is showing in the viewfinder or monitor, continue half-pressing the shutter release (or cable release) to activate Starlight AF if a detectable star is inside the elevated ISO sensor area.
• If there is no star subject matter visible inside the elevated ISO sensor area, four box corners delineating the elevated ISO sensing area (approximately half the area of the viewfinder or monitor) should appear in the viewfinder or monitor 4-10 seconds after the shutter button has been half-pressed and held, depending on the focal length of the lens in use. The box corners will be red indicating that focus is not achieved.
• When the camera finds star subject matter within the sensing area, the four red box corners will turn green indicating that focus has been achieved, and the STAR indicator will be visible.
• Once the desired subject is within the green box corners and the STAR indicator has activated in the viewfinder or monitor indicating that is is in focus, fully press the shutter button.
