AF-assist illuminator
Use this illuminator to focus on the subject in dimly lit
conditions.
When pressing the shutter button down halfway, the
camera fires the AF-assist illuminator (white) while
focusing on your subject.
MEMO
• Even when the AF-assist illuminator fires, the camera
may have difficulty focusing in some conditions.
• The camera focuses most easily when a picture is taken
at a distance of around 5.5 m (18.0 ft.) with wide-angle
and around 2.5 m (8.2 ft.) with telephoto.
• Even though there is no danger to safety, do not expose
it directly in someone’s eyes.
• When using the AF-assist illuminator in Macro mode,
the camera may have difficulty focusing to take close-
up shots.
• See p.121, 122 for information on turning the AF-assist
illuminator off.
