That 'assist light' for low light shot

[luckyhillkop]

Can anyone tell me if the 'assist light' for 920's lowlight shot can be disabled? If it can, would the result be the same as other camera's low light shots? I'm asking because suddenly I imagine taking photo of my cat with 920. She sure hates flash so it would be close to impossible to take her picture with that assist light flashing before the actual photo is taken.

Good question! I hope it can be disabled. I imagine that without it your photos won't be as sharp/crisp as they would with the focus assist (how else would the sensor know how far away your subject is and what to focus on? Unless Nokia included the ability to manual focus)

No current owners willing to answer this?

Yes you can

Yes you can

Great! How's the result of that?

From my tests you will still get good pics without the assist light if it's not too dark.

Yes it can be disabled. Launch camera, open menu(...), photo settings, scroll to bottom, tap and select option.

Yes, it can be disabled. I take pictures of my cat too using only focus assist. You can technically tap the screen in the place you want it to focus, but the focus assist makes the picture a lot better.

Actually I didn't know that it has an importance this much. It makes sense, the assist light can help camera to where to focus.
