Canon V3 manual Pressing Fully, AF-assist Beam

Basic Functions

Pressing Fully

Pressing the shutter button down fully activates the shutter and causes one shutter sound to sound.

•While the image is being recorded to

the CF card, the indicator blinks green.

• AF-assist Beam

-The AF-assist Beam will sometimes emit when the shutter button is pressed halfway to assist focusing in certain conditions, i.e., dark conditions.

-The AF-assist Beam can be turned off (p. 119). If animals are your subject, turn off the beam when shooting in the dark to avoid startling them (this may however, make it more difficult for the camera to focus).
