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.
