AF-ASSIST ILLUMINATOR

Press the shutter button down halfway in dimly lit conditions. The camera fires the AF-assist illuminator (green) to allow easier focusing.

Note that the effective range decreases for telephoto shots.

! Even when the AF-assist illuminator fires, the camera may have difficulty focusing in some conditions.

! Even though there is no danger to safety, do not expose it directly in someone’s eyes from a short distance.

! The camera focuses most easily when a picture is taken at a distance of around 3.5 m (11.5 ft.) with wide-angle and 2 m (6.6 ft.) with telephoto.

! When using the AF-assist illuminator in Macro mode, the camera may have difficulty focusing to take close-up shots.

! See P.100 for information on turning the AF-assist illuminator off.

Standard number of frames per media

The table below shows the standard number of frames for a new media formatted on the camera. The larger the media capacity, the bigger the difference between the actual number of frames and the number shown here. Also, the size of an image file varies depending on the subject. So the number of remaining shots may decrease by 2 or may remain the same. For this reason, the number displayed may not show the actual number of frames.
