(1.6-9.8 ft.)
• AF-Assist Illuminator automatically turns on in the
following situations:
Focus mode is autofocus, AF Nikkor lens is used,
subject is dark and center focus area is selected or
Dynamic AF Mode with Closest-Subject Priority is
activated.
• AF-Assist Illuminator does not turn on in B Landscape
mode or Sports Continuous mode.
• Focal length of the usable AF Nikkor lens is 24-200mm
and the distance range of the AF-Assist Illuminator is
approx. 0.5-3m (1.6-9.8 ft.). Autofocus using the
camera’s AF-Assist Illuminator cannot be performed due
to vignetting with some lenses at a shooting distance
less than 1m (3.3 ft.) (page 49).
> When the optional Speedlight SB-28/28DX, SB-27,
SB-26, SB-25 or SB-24 is attached and the conditions
for the AF-Assist Illumination are met, the AF-Assist

on. With other optional Speedlights, the camera’s
Illuminator turns on (page 92).

NOTE: Continuous use of the AF-Assist Illuminator
When the AF-Assist Illuminator is used continuously, illumination is limited
temporarily to protect the firing tube. The illumination restarts after a few
moments. Also, when the AF-Assist Illuminator is used repeatedly in a short
period of time, be careful not to touch the AF-Assist Illuminator lamp because it
may become hot.
