AF Illuminator

The AF illuminator supplies fill light to focus more easily on a subject in dark surroundings. The AF illuminator emits red light allowing the camera to focus easily when the shutter button

is pressed halfway, until the focus is locked. The indicator appears at this time.

•If the AF illuminator light does not reach the subject sufficiently or the subject has no contrast, focus will not be achieved.

•Focus is achieved as long as the AF illuminator light reaches the subject, regardless of whether light fails to reach the center of the subject.

•You cannot use the AF illuminator when:

–When Focus preset is set (page 31).

–When (Smile Shutter) mode or (Twilight) mode or (Landscape) mode or (Fireworks) mode is selected in the Scene Selection mode.

–When the Face Detect function is activated.

–When [Housing] is set to [On].

•When you use AF illuminator, the normal AF range finder frame is disabled and a new AF range finder frame is displayed by a dotted line. AF operates with priority on subjects located near the center of the frame.

•The AF illuminator emits very bright light. Although there are no problems with safety, do not look directly into the AF illuminator emitter at close range.
