Built-in AF Assist

When On is selected, the built-in AF- AF-assist illuminator assist illuminator will light to illuminate

poorly-lit subjects if:

AF-Sis selected for focus mode (0 99) or single AF is selected in AF-A, and

Auto-area or Single-point is selected for AF-area mode (0 185).

The AF-assist illuminator will not light to assist the focus operation in advanced movie mode, during movie recording, or when Off is selected. If the AF-assist illuminator does not light, autofo- cus may not produce the desired results when lighting is poor.
