AF-assist illumination is used to assist the focus operation
when the subject is poorly lit. The illuminator has a range of
about 1.9 m (6 ft 2 in.) at the maximum wide-angle position
and about 1.1 m (3 ft 7 in.) at the maximum telephoto position.
Note that for some scene modes such as Museum (A44) or
Pet portrait (A46) scene mode, or focus areas, the AF-assist
illuminator may not light even when Auto is selected.
AF-assist illuminator does not light up. The camera may be
unable to focus under dim lighting.
When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom
position, rotating the zoom control to g (i) triggers digital
zoom (A27).
Digital zoom will not be activated (except during movie
recording).
