AF Illuminator
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.
1 .  MENU  
  4  [AF Illuminator]  desired  mode
Auto
Sets  whether or not to  use  the AF  illuminator.
Off
Notes 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  [AF Illuminator] in  the following situations:In  movie  mode
In  [Sweep  Shooting] mode
When  
 (Landscape),   (Night  Scene),   (Pet),   (Fireworks) or  (Sports Action)  mode  is
selected in  [Scene  Selection].
When  you  use  the 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  is no  health hazard,  do  not look  directly
into  the AF  illuminator emitter at  close  range.

Color  Space
The way  colors  are  represented  with  combinations of  numbers or the range of  color  reproduction is
called  “color  space.”  You  can  change  the color  space,  depending  on  your  purpose.
1 .  MENU  
  4  [Color  Space]   desired  mode
sRGB This is the standard color  space  of  the digital  camera.  Use  sRGB  in  normal shooting,
such  as when you  intend to  print  out the images without  any  modification.
AdobeRGB This has  a wide range of  color  reproduction.  When  a large part of  the subject  is vivid
green or red, Adobe RGB  is effective.  The file  name  of  the image starts  with  “_DSC.”
Notes Adobe RGB  is for  applications  or printers  that  support  color  management  and  DCF2.0  option color
space.  Using some  applications  or printers  that  do  not support  them may result  in  or print  images
that  do  not faithfully  reproduce  the color.
When  displaying  images that  were  recorded  with  Adobe RGB  on  the camera  or non -Adobe RGB -
compliant  devices,  the images are  displayed with  low  saturation.
