FabienB Posted February 19, 2024 Share #1 Posted February 19, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, I'm having an issue with my Q3. Under difficult lighting conditions, the AF struggles... which is normal! However, I've noticed that the red light on the device to aid the AF only turns on very rarely. And I haven't understood the reasons why it sometimes does. But my question is, why doesn't this AF assist light turn on all the time when it's difficult ? I've tested in very, very dark situations, and in 99% of the cases, this light assistance doesn't turn on. For your information, I've conducted the same tests with the Leica SF 60 flash, and in doing the same tests, the AF assist light of the flash works all the time. Thank you all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltz Posted February 19, 2024 Share #2 Posted February 19, 2024 Interesting results. I’ve had mine off since I got the camera and have had zero issues getting focus in extreme low light so I kept it off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
