8.3 Laser distance meter and laser pointer
8.3.1 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 transmitter also works as a laser pointer. When the laser is on, you will see a la-
ser 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 16.5 Changing the measurement
parameters, page 77) 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 is not supported by all camera models.
• The laser distance meter may not be enabled in all markets.
