AF-Assist Beam
• The AF-assist beam will sometimes emit when the
shutter button is pressed halfway to assist focusing in
certain conditions, i.e. dark conditions.
• The AF-assist beam can be turned off (p. 175).
If animals are your subject, turn off the beam when
shooting in the dark to avoid startling them. However,
please keep in mind the following facts.
- Turning the AF-assist beam off may make it more
difficult for the camera to focus.
- The red-eye reduction lamp may emit when you press
the shutter button halfway even if the AF-assist beam
is turned off.
In order to prevent any lamp from emitting before the
flash fires, set both the red-eye reduction function and
the AF-assist beam to [Off] in the Shooting menu.
