The AF-Assist Illuminator 
If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator will light 
automatically to assist the autofocus operation when the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway. The AF-assist illuminator will not 
light:
• In live view or during movie recording
• During manual focus or if live view is off and continuous-servo 
autofocus is selected (AF-C selected for focus mode, or 
continuous-servo AF selected in AF-A focus mode)
• If the center focus point is not selected in 
Single-point AF, d Dynamic-area AF, or 
3D-tracking (11 points) AF-area mode (0 58, 60)
• In shooting modes in which the AF-assist illuminator can not be used (
0 186)
• If Off has been selected for the AF-assist option in the shooting menu (
0 134)
The illuminator has a range of about 0.5–3.0 m (1 ft. 8 in.–9 ft. 10 in.); when using the 
illuminator, use a lens with a focal length of 18–200 mm and remove the lens hood. The AF-
assist illuminator will turn off automatically to protect the lamp after a period of continuous 
use. Normal function will resume after a brief pause. Note that the illuminator may become 
hot when used multiple times in quick succession.
