Nikon N65 - AF-Assist Illuminator

••••••
When the subject is dark and the shutter release button is pressed lightly,
the camera's AF-Assist Illuminator automatically turns on and enables
autofocus operation
in a dark environment.
.....................................................
• AF-Assist Illuminator automatically turns on in the
following situations:
Focus mode is autofocus, AF Nikkor lens is used,
subject is dark and center focus area is selected or
Dynamic AF Mode with Closest-Subject Priority is
activated.
• AF-Assist Illuminator does not turn on
in Iii Landscape
mode
or ~":: Q Sports Continuous mode.
• Focal length
of the usable AF Nikkor lens is 24-2DDmm
and the distance range
of the AF-Assist Illuminator is
approx. D.S-3m (1.6-9.8
ft.). Autofocus using the
camera's AF-Assist Illuminator cannot be performed due
to vignetting with some lenses at a shooting distance
less than 1 m
(3 .3 ft.) (page 49) .
• When the optional Speedlight SB-28/28DX, SB-27,
SB-26, SB-2S
or SB-24 is attached and the conditions
for the AF-Assist Illumination are met, the AF-Assist
Illuminator
of the optional Speed light automatically turns
on. With other optional Speed lights, the camera's
Illuminator turns on (page
92).
NOTE: Continuous use of the AF-Assist Illuminator
When the AF-Assist Illuminator is used continuously, illumination is limited
temporarily
to protect the firing tube. The illumination restarts after a few
moments. Also, when the AF-Assist Illuminator is used repeatedly
in a short
period
of time, be careful not to touch the AF-Assist Illuminator lamp because it
may become hot.
