Focus Lock
The AF-Assist Illuminator
If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator will light to assist the focus operation when the shutter
button is pressed halfway.
A
Note
• Avoid shining the AF-assist illuminator directly into your subject’s eyes. See page 97 for information on
disabling the AF-assist illuminator.
• The camera may be unable to focus using the AF-assist illuminator in some cases. If the camera is unable to
focus in macro mode (pg. 37), try increasing the distance to the subject.
• The AF-assist illuminator is not available in silent mode.
