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 does not light in advanced
movie mode or during movie recording; in
other situations it 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 (0 153) or the center focus
area (0 153) is selected for Single-point, and
On is selected for Built-in AF assist in the shooting menu (0 156).
Larger lenses may prevent the illuminator lighting all or part of the sub-
ject.
Remove lens hoods when using the illuminator.
Select Manual focus for Focus mode
(0 149).
Press J to magnify the view at the
center of the frame and display man-
ual focus guides (this feature is not
available during movie recording or in
slow-motion movie mode).
