7.3 Laser distance meter and laser pointer
7.3.1 General
The laser distance meter consists of a laser transmitter and a laser receiver. The laser dis-
tance meter determines the distance to a target by measuring the time it takes for a laser
pulse to reach the target and return to the laser receiver. This time is converted to a dis-
tance, which is displayed on the screen.
The laser receiver also works as a laser pointer. When the laser distance meter is on, you
will see a laser dot approximately at the target.
WARNING
Do not look directly into the laser beam. The laser beam can cause eye irritation.
Note
• The laser is enabled by a setting. Select ( Settings ) > Device settings > Lamp & la-
ser > Enable lamp & laser .
• The symbol is displayed on the screen when the laser is on.
• The camera can be configured to automatically measure the distance when an image
is saved. Select ( Settings ) > Save options & storage > Measure distance . With this
setting, the Object distance parameter (see section 15.5 Changing the measurement
parameters , page 71) in the image data is automatically updated with the measured
distance when an image is saved. (There is no effect on the Object distance setting in
live mode.)
• If the target reflection is low or if the target is angled from the laser beam, there may be
no return signal, and the distance cannot be measured.
• The laser distance meter may not be enabled in all markets.
