Although there are no problems with safety, directly looking into the hologram AF emitter at close range is not recommended, as you may see residual spots for several minutes afterwards, such as after looking into a flashlight. • Do not block the hologram AF emitter during recording. • Attaching an optional filter, wide conversion lens or telephoto conversion lens may interfere with Holographic AF light emission. About Hologram AF "Hologram AF (Auto-Focus)" is an AF optical system that applies laser holograms to enable you to shoot still images in dark places. The Hologram AF system uses gentler radiation than conventional highbrightness LEDs or lamps, thus satisfying Laser Class 1* specifications and maintaining higher safety for human eyes. * Hologram AF satisfies Class 1 (time base 30 000 seconds), specified in JIS (Japan), IEC (EU), and FDA (US) industry standards. Complying with these standards identifies the laser product as safe, under the condition that a human can look at the laser light either directly or through a lens for 30 000 seconds. 27

About Hologram AF
“Hologram AF (Auto-Focus)” is an AF
optical system that applies laser holograms
to enable you to shoot still images in dark
places. The Hologram AF system uses
gentler radiation than conventional high-
brightness LEDs or lamps, thus satisfying
Laser Class 1* specifications and
maintaining higher safety for human eyes.
* Hologram AF satisfies Class 1 (time base
30 000 seconds), specified in JIS (Japan), IEC
(EU), and FDA (US) industry standards.
Complying with these standards identifies the
laser product as safe, under the condition that a
human can look at the laser light either directly
or through a lens for 30 000 seconds.
