AF ASSIST LIGHT

Autofocus metering systems in cameras rely on the contrast in the
image subject. These cameras will activate an AF assist light if the
contrast is insufficient due to low light. When the remote control is
attached to a relevantly equipped camera, then the AF assist light
12 integrated in the remote control will switch on. It illuminates the
image object, which the camera then focuses on.
The range of the AF assist light is approx. 0.7 to 5 m (with a 50 mm
lens).
The Autofocus mode "Single-AF (S-AF)" must be enabled on the
camera for it to activate the AF assist light and the remote control
must be in readiness.
Some cameras only support a camera-internal AF assist light.
Where that is the case, then the AF assist light of the remote
control will not be activated (see camera manual).
Notes:
• Some low-light lenses (largest initial aperture ≥ 5.6) will limit the
range of the AF assist light considerably.
• The AF assist light can be deactivated for short distances to the
image subject in combination with a long lens. The AF mode will
then not be available.
