    AF illuminator, do you turn it off or on and why?

    (Auto focus light before taking a shot, y'know)

    I can turn it off on my Fuji X-T1, i've read a blog where a pro says to turn this off.

    • the dude is doing street photogBennn
    • You mean the little light that points at the subject? ya turn it off. unless it's really too dark to focus.pango
    • yeah, that light. Thats what i think tooBennn
    • Only turn it on if it's super dark & you need AF. You probably will never need it. Or, use it to attract attention on the street so people look at the camera!nb
