pressed halfway, until the focus is locked. The 

 indicator appears at this time.

• 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:

– [Focus] is set to Semi manual mode.
–

 (Landscape) mode,   (Twilight) mode, 

(Fireworks) mode or   (Hi-Speed Shutter) mode is 

selected in the Scene Selection mode.

– [Housing] is set to [On].

• When you use 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.
