About Hologram AF
“Hologram AF (Auto-Focus)” is an AF fill
light system that applies laser holograms to
enable you to shoot still images in dark
places. The Hologram AF system uses
gentler radiation than conventional high-
brightness LEDs or lamps, thus satisfying

No safety problems will be caused by
looking directly into the hologram AF
emitter at a close range. However, it is not
recommended to do so, because you may
experience such effects like several minutes
of residual image and dazzling, that you
encounter after looking into a flashlight.
