7.12 AF-BEAM (AF auxiliary light)

If the AF metering system of a digital AF reflex camera is unable to focus due to
insufficient ambient lighting, the camera activates the AF auxiliary light built
into the flash unit. This projects a stripe pattern onto the subject which the
camera uses to focus.
The “AF BEAM” function can be specifically turned off in the select menu of the
flash unit.
Setting procedure:

• Press the

key repeatedly until "Select"

appears on the screen.

• With the

and

button, select the menu item

“AF BEAM” The selected menu item will be high-
lighted with a dark bar.

• Press the

button and confirm the setting of the

special function.

• Turn the function off with the

and

buttons.

Once the setting has been saved, the deactivated AF
beam function is indicated by a crossed-out AF
icon in the display.

When the AF-BEAM function is deacti-
vated, it is possible that the camera can no longer focus in the dark.
