does it have af assist? my olympus 620 struggles in low light to focus

With the Panasonic, it relies on the focus assist in the camera body. No assist from the flash unit. In the manual, all it says is that some cameras only support the AF illuminator in the camera body. It doesn't mention "which" cameras or models.

Not sure how much better this one is, but, it is a really excellent flash in every other respect.

You could probably change the ISO/shutter/aperture settings to compensate for low lighting, but I usually set it to Auto mode, and I feel it's not bad. I can still see relatively well although it's rather noisy/fuzzy (it hardly bothers me, but I usually try to avoid low lighting anyways).

Pick up a lens with a low F stop. I have a Minolta Maxxum AF 50 mm f 1.7 on my alpha and I can take pictures without flash.

This is not an official statement but I've been shooting a lot. And I 99% use single point AF, manually setting focus point according to my subject. I never noticed a left focus or lock up problem.

Yes. I also suggest microadjusting the focus confirmation once you get the lens.

Do not overlook the need to turn OFF the Focus Check setting! Realize that the default setting slows the AF down markedly. If this setting is left on, it will result in wandering focus ...

Works great in low light, but depends on the lens you use and what your shooting.

It worsk with the AF 100 fine. I have the camera and the lens and I have no issues.

Yes, this Sony Lens SEL20F28 supports phase detection AF on A6000. However, firmware upgrade are needed on this lens to make it work. Just a reminder that for this lens SEL20F28, currently we don't have the available firmware upgrade to A6000 for PDAF. Hope this helps. -Ely

None at all on my M- it is a bit slow in the focus- but when I combined it with a short loupe to act as a viewfinder it became handy. Mine works perfectly except for the focussing time. VRR

If the AF during video recording is indeed a problem, I would think it would be a relatively easy fix by Nikon with a firmware update. Sounds like the camera IQ is a little sloppy when it comes to deciding when it needs to re-focus during video recording, with either Full AF on or off. I believe with Full AF turned on it is supposed to continuously re-focus and with it turned off it will only re-focus when you zoom in or out.

Yep; but it won't have AF. You can only manually focus. For AF, you'll need an AF-S or AFI lens.

I've tested it on my OMD in daylight condition, and find that it worked almost like an 40-150mm Olympus zuiko on the OMD with no lag and identical image quality. But have yet test the auto-focus capacity in in low light condition.

Yes it does, but would not recommend it.. AF sucks, go with Tamron 70-200 2.8 great versitile lens or nikon 105 2.8 super sharp!!

This lens is manual focus and manual aperture. So it won't AF or automatically adjust the aperture. It works in full manual mode very nicely but that may not be what you want to do.

I'm glad you asked this question because I wasn't aware of this function and had to read my manual, which you can download here: http://www.olympus.co.jp/en/support/imsg/digicamera/download/manual/dslr.cfm#eflash Answer is, yes, the led light will turn on to assist focus in low light BUT as far as I can tell, although there is an automatic setting as an option, it won't go on automatically. IF you set it to M, or manual, you can press the right side of the settings ring and it will stay on. It is EXTREMELY fiddly rotating through the settings with that small wheel and then having to press each of the four positions to change settings.

Thank you for your response. I seem to do OK with close up but longer focal lengths give me a hard time. I may send it in just for them to check it out. I like the camera but I havent ever been so stymied before.
