Notes
*If AF illuminator light does not reach the subject sufficiently or the subject has no contrast,
focus will not be achieved. (Approximate 0.3 to 3.0 m (1 I 7/S inches to 9 feet 10 l/8 inches)
distance is recommended,)
l In TWILIGHT mode of the SCENE SELECTION function (page 52), the AF illuminator will
emit only when the flash mode is set to f (Forced flash).
l The AF illuminator will not emit when the LANDSCAPE mode of the SCENE SELECTION
function (page 52) is selected or [CONVERSION LENS] (page 81) is set to [ON] in the setup
settings.
*Focus is achieved as long as AF illuminator light reaches to the subject even if its light is
slightly out of fhe middle position of the subject.
*The AF illuminator does not operate when adjusting focus manually.
*The AF illuminator is a very bright light. Although it is safe to use, avoid shining it directly into
someone’s eyes at a close distance.
