The AF-Assist Illuminator
If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illumi-
nator will light automatically to assist the
autofocus operation when the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway. The AF-
assist illuminator is available in all modes
except movie mode and lights only if:
• AF-S is selected for focus mode or single AF
selected in AF-A focus mode,
• Auto-area is selected for AF-area mode
(0 149) or the center focus area (0 149) is selected for Single-point,
and
• On is selected for Built-in AF assist in the shooting menu (0 152).
Larger lenses may prevent the illuminator lighting all or part of the sub-
ject.
Remove lens hoods when using the illuminator.
