AF ILLUMINATOR
The built-in flash is used as an AF
Illuminator. When the scene is too dark for
the camera to focus, the built-in flash fires
a few short bursts when the shutter-
release button is pressed partway down to
provide the light necessary for the camera
to focus.
Pressing the spot AF button can also activate the AF illuminator.
The range of the AF Illuminator is approximately 1 to 5 m ( 3.3 to 16.4 ft.).
The AF illuminator will not fire in continuous AF mode or if flash
cancel is selected.
The AF illuminator may not operate with focal lengths of 300mm or longer.
The AF illuminator will not operate with 3x-1x Macro Zoom.
When an accessory flash is attached, the flash will be used as the AF
illuminator in place of the camera’s built-in flash unit.
