The AF-Assist Illuminator cannot be used with cameras not compatible with CLS and COOLPIX cameras.

Notes on using the AF-Assist Illuminator

The AF-Assist Illuminator is available, if an AF lens is mounted and the camera’s focus mode is set to S (Single Servo AF with focus priority), AF-A, or AF.

The effective shooting distance with the AF-Assist Illuminator is approx. 1 m to 10 m (3.3 to 33 ft.) from the center of the image with a 50mm f/1.8 lens. The shooting distance varies depending on the lens in use.

With a D3 camera, for example:

Suitable lens focal length is between 17 mm and 135 mm. Focus areas for each focal length, in which autofocusing is available, are as follows:

17 mm – 19 mm

20 mm – 105 mm

106 mm – 135 mm
