The default settings are marked with .
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.
(The recommended distance
DSC-T200: up to approx. 2.5 m (8 feet 2 1/2 inches) (zoom: W)/up to approx. 2.0 m (6 feet 6 3/4 inches)
(zoom: T)
DSC-T70/T75: up to approx. 2.7 m (8 feet 10 3/8 inches) (zoom: W)/up to approx. 2.5 m (8 feet

• Focus is achieved as long as the AF illuminator light reaches the subject, regardless of whether light fails
to reach the center of the subject.
• You cannot use the AF illuminator when:
– When Focus preset is set (page 31).
– When
(Smile Shutter) mode or (Twilight) mode or (Landscape) mode or (Fireworks)
mode is selected in the Scene Selection mode.
– When the Face Detect function is activated.
– When [Housing] is set to [On].
• When you use AF illuminator, the normal AF range finder frame is disabled and a new AF range finder
frame is displayed by a dotted line. AF operates with priority on subjects located near the center of the
frame.
• The AF illuminator emits very bright light. Although there are no problems with safety, do not look
directly into the AF illuminator emitter at close range.
