• The flash does not function when recording moving images (excluding Clip Motion) or
recording in BURST mode or in EXP BRKTG (DSC-S85 only) mode.
The AF illuminator is fill light to focus on a subject easily. Set [AF ILLUMINATOR]
(page 80) to [ON] in the setup settings,
appears on the LCD screen and the AF
illuminator emits light when the shutter button is pressed halfway. It keeps emitting
light until the focus is locked.
Notes
• If AF illuminator light does not reach the subject sufficiently or the subject has no contrast,
focus will not be achieved. (Approximate 0.3 to 3.0 m (11 7/8 inches to 9 feet 10 1/8 inches)
distance is recommended.)
• In TWILIGHT mode of the SCENE SELECTION function (page 52), the AF illuminator will
emit only when the flash mode is set to
(Forced flash).
• The AF illuminator will not emit when the LANDSCAPE mode of the SCENE SELECTION
function (page 52) is selected or [CONVERSION LENS] (page 81) is set to [ON] in the setup
settings.
• Focus is achieved as long as AF illuminator light reaches to the subject even if its light is
slightly out of the middle position of the subject.
• The AF illuminator does not operate when adjusting focus manually.
• The AF illuminator is a very bright light. Although it is safe to use, avoid shining it directly into
someone’s eyes at a close distance.
