EXPOSURE – 8 Segment Metering

FOCUS – AF Illuminator
The AF Illuminator is a secondary
function of the built-in flash. When the
scene is too dark for the camera to
focus accurately, the built-in flash fires
a few short bursts when the shutter-
release button is pressed partway
down to provide the illumination
necessary for the camera to focus on
your subject.
• The range of the AF Illuminator flash is approximately one to five
meters.
• The AF illuminator will not fire in continuous focus mode or if
flash cancel ( ) is selected.
• The AF illuminator will not operate with 300mm or longer single
focal length lenses.
• The AF illuminator will not operate with 3x-1x Macro Zoom.
• When an accessory flash is attached, its AF illuminator will be
active in place of the camera’s AF illuminator.
• Changing Camera Functions (p70) lets you cancel the built in
flash’s AF illuminator if it will interfere with your subject or is
inappropriate.
Eight-Segment Honeycomb-Pattern Metering is the camera’s
standard metering mode and is appropriate for most photographic
situations.
