About HOLOGRAM AF

“HOLOGRAM AF (Auto-Focus),” an application of laser holograms, is a new AF optical system that enables still image shooting in dark places. Having gentler radiation than conventional high-brightness LEDs or lamps, the system satisfies Laser Class 1 (*) specification and thus maintains higher safety for human eyes.

No safety problems will be caused by directly looking into the HOLOGRAM AF emitter at a close range. However, it is not recommended to do so, because you may experience such effects like several minutes of image residual and dazzling, that you encounter after looking into a flashlight.

*HOLOGRAM AF satisfies Class 1(time base 30,000 seconds), specified in all of JIS (Japan), IEC(EU), and FDA(US) industry standards.

Complying with these standards identifies the laser product to be safe, under a condition that a human looks at the laser light either directly or even through a lens for 30,000 seconds.

Notes

•A conversion lens (optional) may obstruct the HOLOGRAM AF light and make focusing difficult.

•If enough light does not reach the subject even if the HOLOGRAM AF emitter is emitted (recommended shooting distance is up to 2.5 m (8 1/3 feet)), the subject will not be focused.

The HOLOGRAM AF does not emit in the following cases:

When the POWER switch is set to CAMERA

NightShot

Flash is set to (no flash)

SUNSETMOON of PROGRAM AE

LANDSCAPE of PROGRAM AE

Manual focus

Spot Focus
