7.7 AF measuring beam (Fig. 24 )
The AF measuring beam is activated by the came-
ra electronics when the ambient lighting condi-
tions are insufficient for automatic focusing. The
AF beam projects a striped pattern on to the sub-
ject, and the camera uses this pattern to focus
automatically. The AF beam has a range of
approx. 6m to 9m (with a 50 mm/f/1.7 standard
lens). Parallax error between lens and AF red
light emitter limits the close-up range of the AF
measuring beam to approx. 0.7m - 1 m.
The AF mode „Single AF (S)” must be set on
the camera so that the AF measuring beam
can be activated by the camera (see the
camera’s operating instructions). Zoom len-
ses with a lower initial aperture can signifi-
cantly reduce the range of the AF measuring
beam!
The striped pattern of the AF measuring
beam only supports the camera’s central AF
