The default settings are marked with .
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. (A distance of up to approximately 2.7 m (8 feet 10 3/8 inches) (zoom: W) / 2.0 m (6 feet
6 3/4 inches) (zoom: T) is recommended.)
• Focus is achieved as long as the AF illuminator light reaches the subject, even if the light is slightly off the
center of the subject.
• When Focus preset is set (page 41), AF Illuminator does not function.
• When you use AF illuminator, the normal AF range finder frame is disabled and new AF range finder
frame is displayed by a doted line. In this case, AF operates with priority on subjects located near the
center of the frame.
• The AF illuminator does not operate when [Twilight], [Landscape], [Hi-Speed Shutter] or [Fireworks]
mode is selected in the Scene Selection mode.
• 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.
• When [Face Detection] is set to [On], AF Illuminator does not function.
With reference to the grid lines, you can easily set a subject in a horizontal/vertical position.
• The grid lines are not recorded on the image.
