Shooting – The Basics
AF-assist Beam
z The AF-assist beam will sometimes emit
when the shutter button is pressed halfway
to assist focusing in certain conditions, i.e.
dark conditions.
z The AF-assist beam can be turned off
(p. 69).
For example, if animals are your subject,
turn off the beam when shooting in the dark
to avoid startling them.
However, please keep in mind the following
facts.
- If the AF-assist beam is turned off, it may
become more difficult for the camera to
focus in dark conditions.
- The red-eye reduction lamp may emit
when you press the shutter button halfway
even if the AF-assist beam is turned off.
z In order to prevent any lamp from emitting
before the flash fires, set both the red-eye
reduction function and the AF-assist beam
to [Off] in the Shooting menu.
