The AF illuminator supplies fill light to focus more easily on a subject in dark surroundings.
The AF illuminator emits red light allowing the camera to focus easily when the shutter button
is pressed halfway, until the focus is locked. The indicator appears at this time.
• If the AF illuminator light does not reach the subject sufficiently or the subject has no contrast, focus will
not be achieved. (A distance of up to approximately 3.5 m (11 feet 5 7/8 inches) (zoom: W) / 2.5 m (8 feet
2 1/2 inches) (zoom: T) is recommended.) (DSC-W90)/(A distance of up to approximately 2.5 m (8 feet
2 1/2 inches) (zoom: W) / 2.0 m (6 feet 6 3/4 inches) (zoom: T) is recommended.) (DSC-W80/W85)
• Focus is achieved as long as the AF illuminator light reaches the subject, even if the light is slightly off the
center of the subject.
• When Focus preset is set (page 42), AF Illuminator does not function.
• When you use AF illuminator, the normal AF range finder frame is disabled and new AF range finder

frame.
• The AF illuminator does not operate when (Twilight mode) or (Landscape mode) is selected in the
Scene mode.
