Built-in AF-Assist Illuminator

Built-in AF-Assist Illuminator - Enables the built-in AF-assist illuminator for poorly lit subjects, or not as the case may be.

But my question is.......

Can the AFA light be disabled whist using self timer mode so it does not flash in time with the beeps ?

From what I have read up to press I think not but someone may know diffrent.:shrug:

TIA..

OW.

PS. on a D200 (Doh!)

Yes, with black tape if menu option doesn't do the job.

Sounds like that might be the plan....

the af assist does not work using afc mode so maybe use that.
also it does not work if you move it off the center focus point.
