nodpete Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Last week I noticed that when I focused my A100, I did not see the red light in the focus meter. I tried setting the metering to Center & Spot but no luck. Did I inadvertantly change a setting? I do change settings quite a bit just to see what happens but this one has me stumped. Any idea's ?

starvy Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 is it focusing properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_hohner Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 What's the "red light in the focus meter"? I only know the green AF confirmation light in the viewfinder. There is a red AF assist light, but this is coming from a flash mounted on the camera. All of this is, of course, independent from the exposure metering mode. <p> So what exactly did you do? What exactly are you missing? What was the AF mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodpete Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 I found my problem, in the Custom menu 2, you can set the AF area Setup. The default setting is 0.3 sec. I had set it to OFF! What it is, is a quick flashing light that tells you exactly where your'e focused. It shows up somewhere in the metering square zone in the veiwfinder.

matt_kennedy1 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I have mine set to 0.6sec. It seems like 0.3 seconds is too quick for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
