Rapid low light shooting with HX100V.
What would be my best settings ?
would switching off the AF illuminator help ?

w or wo flash?

With flash P mode or automatic
Without flash P mode and increase ISO to gain speed

With flash, it seems to take ages to focus.
thank you.

So, switching off the AF illuminator will not help.

When focusing try to point to brilliant/metal/contrasting objects... like metal frame glasses, cords with pendants...

Without AF iluminator takes longer time to focus in low light, 2-3 seconds more!
I recomand you using "center AF".
