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 is available in still image,
Smart Photo Selector, and Motion Snapshot
modes and 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 (

0 142) or the center focus

area (

0 23) is selected for Single-point, and

• On is selected for Built-in AF assist in the shooting menu (

0 145).

Larger lenses may prevent the illuminator lighting all or part of the sub-
ject.

Remove lens hoods when using the illuminator.
