• Focus is achieved as long as the AF illuminator light reaches the subject, regardless of whether light fails
to reach the center of the subject.
• You cannot use the AF illuminator when:
– Shooting in Sweep Panorama mode
– (Landscape), (Twilight), (Pet) or (Fireworks) mode is selected in Scene Selection.
– The self-timer is set to [Self-portrait One Person] or [Self-portrait Two People].
• When you use the AF illuminator, the normal AF range finder frame is disabled and a new AF range
finder frame is displayed by a dotted line. AF operates with priority on subjects located near the center of
the frame.
• The AF illuminator emits very bright light. Although there is no health hazard, do not look directly into
the AF illuminator emitter at close range.
