AThe AF-Assist Illuminator

If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator will light automatically to assist the autofocus operation when the shutter- release button is pressed halfway. The AF- assist illuminator is available in all modes except movie mode and lights only if:

•AF-Sis selected for focus mode or single AF selected in AF-Afocus mode,

•Auto-area is selected for AF-area mode

(0 149) or the center focus area (0 149) is selected for Single-point, and

•On is selected for Built-in AF assist in the shooting menu (0 152). Larger lenses may prevent the illuminator lighting all or part of the sub- ject. Remove lens hoods when using the illuminator.
