Face-Priority
Choose On to enable face priority (0 40).
Built-in AF Assist
When On is selected, the built-in AF-
assist illuminator will light to illuminate
poorly-lit subjects if:
• AF-S is selected for focus mode (0 184)
or single AF is selected in AF-A, and
• Auto-area or Single-point is selected
for AF-area mode (0 188).
The AF-assist illuminator will not light to assist the focus opera-
tion in sports or advanced movie mode, during movie recording,
or when Off is selected. If the AF-assist illuminator does not
light, autofocus may not produce the desired results when light-
ing is poor.

subject. Remove lens hoods when using the illuminator.
