About HOLOGRAM AF
“HOLOGRAM AF (Auto-Focus),” an application of laser holograms, is an AF optical
system that enables still image shooting in dark places. Having gentler radiation than
conventional high-brightness LEDs or lamps, the system satisfies Laser Class 1 (*)
specification and thus maintains higher safety for human eyes.
No safety problems will be caused by directly looking 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 image residual and dazzling, that you encounter
after looking into a flashlight.

* HOLOGRAM AF satisfies Class 1(time base 30,000 seconds), specified in all of JIS
(Japan), IEC(EU), and FDA(US) industry standards.
Complying with these standards ensures that the laser product is safe, under a
condition that a human looks at the laser light either directly or even through a lens
for 30,000 seconds.
