Yes, it is. To use the AF illuminator, press the shutter button half way down. A red illuminator is automatically emitted until the focus is locked, so that you can focus more easily on a subject. You can deactivate the AF illuminator with AF illuminator on the Recording MENU. The range of the AF illuminator is about 1 to 7 m (3.3 to 23 ft). The AF illuminator does not work when focus mode is set to Continuous AF, the subject is moving, or an area other than center is selected with AF area set to Local. When an external flash (sold separately) is attached, the AF illuminator of the flash functions instead.
