Af Spotbeam - Samsung SEF-54PZF User Manual

AF Spotbeam

The SEF-54PZF features a built-in red spotbeam
projector to assist the autofocus system in dim
light and low-contrast conditions. When using the
flash with autofocus camera in dark conditions, the
spotbeam will be projected automatically depend-
ing on the ambient lighting conditions. This func-
tion is activated only when the camera is set to
autofocus. By setting the flash mode to (SB), the
SEF-54PZF can be used exclusively as a focusing
aid in dim light.
