AF-Assist Beam
In viewfinder shooting, the built-in flash or a Speedlite can emit an AF-assist beam to make
autofocusing easier under low light or in other conditions where autofocusing is difficult.
With the built-in flash, the AF-assist beam fires as needed after you raise the flash and
press the shutter button halfway.
With a Speedlite, configure the setting on the Speedlite as needed.
Caution
The flash does not emit an AF-assist beam when AF operation is set to [AI Servo
AF].
Note
To disable AF-assist beam firing, set [ : AF-assist beam firing] to [Disable].
