SHUTTER LOCK
The shutter lock prevents the shutter opening and exposing the
CCD to dust when no lens is mounted on the camera. Turn the
shutter lock off when attaching the camera to a telescope or
microscope. The shutter lock is turned on and off in section 3 of
the custom menu (p. 92).
The built-in flash is used as an AF Illuminator. When the scene is too dark for the camera to focus,
raise the built-in flash. It fires a few short bursts to provide light for the camera to focus. When an
accessory flash is attached, the flash unit is used as the AF illuminator. The AF illuminator can be
turned on and off in section 2 of the custom menu (p. 92).
The range of the AF Illuminator is approximately 1 to 5 m ( 3.3 to 16.4 ft.). It does not fire when
using the continuous AF focus mode. The AF illuminator may not operate with focal lengths of
300mm or longer or with the 3x-1x Macro Zoom.
