AF-ASSIST ILLUMINATOR

When the subject is dark and the shutter button is pressed down halfway, the camera’s AF-assist

illuminator automatically turns on and enables autofocus operation in a dark environment.

AF-assist illuminator automatically turns on in the

following situations:

Focus mode is Single AF servo, AF Nikkor lens is

used, subject is dark and center focus area is

selected or Dynamic AF Mode with Closest Subject

Priority is activated.

Focal length of the usable AF Nikkor lens is 24-200

mm and the distance range of the AF-assist

illuminator is approx. 0.5-3 m (1.6-9.8 ft.).

CSM 15: AF-assist illuminator can be cancelled (➡P.112).

When the AF-assist illuminator is used continuously, illumination is limited temporarily to protect

the firing tube. The illumination restarts after a few moments. Also, when the AF-assist illuminator

is used repeatedly in a short period of time, be careful not to touch the AF-assist illuminator lamp

because it may have become hot.

Nikon flash units and active assist illuminator

If you use an SB-28/28DX, SB-27, SB-26, SB-25, SB-24, SB-800 or SB-600 Nikon flash to take

pictures when the conditions for active assist illuminator are met, the active assist illuminator on the

Nikon flash automatically fires. With other Nikon flash models, the AF-assist illuminator on the camera

automatically lights.

the same color as a wall or other background.

Scenes with subjects within the focus brackets

located at different distances from the camera

For example, when shooting an animal in a cage or

a person in a forest.

Patterned subject or scene

Scenes with pronounced differences in brightness

within the focus brackets

For example, when the sun is in the background
