Notes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 in the following situations:

 

 

 

 

In movie mode

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Sweep Panorama mode

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When

(Landscape), (Night Scene),

(Pet) or

(Fireworks) mode is selected in Scene

 

 

 

Selection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When [Self-Timer] is set to [Self-portrait One Person] or [Self-portrait Two People].

When you use the 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 is no health hazard, do not look directly into the AF illuminator emitter at close range.
