About the “auxiliary AF light”
When you attempt auto focusing on a dark subject, the camera may
emit orange light toward the subject. This is the “auxiliary AF light”,
which helps the camera to focus on the subject under the low light
conditions.
The auxiliary AF light of this camera conforms to the safety standard
(IEC60825-1) for Class 1 LED product. Looking at the light directly
will not create safety hazard. However, do not look into the emitter
from a very short distance since you may feel dazzled.
