B Recording Recording images with the AF illuminator The AF illuminator is fill light to focus on a subject easily under dark conditions. Set [AF ILLUMINATOR] (page 69) to [ON] in the setup settings, appears on the LCD screen and the AF illuminator emits light when the shutter button is pressed halfway. It keeps emitting light until the focus is locked. AF illuminator Notes • If AF illuminator light does not reach the subject sufficiently or the subject has no contrast, focus will not be achieved. (Approximate distance up to 2.0 m (6 feet 6 3/4 inches) is recommended.) • In TWILIGHT mode (page 47), the AF illuminator will emit only when the flash mode is set to (Forced flash). • Focus is achieved as long as AF illuminator light reaches to the subject even if its light is slightly out of the middle position of the subject. • The AF illuminator is a very bright light. Although it is safe to use, avoid shining it directly into someone's eyes at a close distance. 25
