When Lighting Is Poor

When lighting is poor, sensitivity is raised to compensate and the image in the monitor may be slightly “grainy.” This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

The (Camera Shake) Icon

When lighting is poor and the ﬂash is off (), shutter speeds will slow and pictures may be blurred. If the shutter

speed required for exposure is very slow, a (camera shake) warning be displayed. Use of a tripod or support is recommended. Mottling may appear in pictures taken when this icon is displayed.

Dust or Mist

Light from the ﬂash reﬂected from particles of dust or other matter in the air may ap- pear in pictures as bright specks. If this occurs, turn the ﬂash off and try again.

Red-eye Reduction

The COOLPIX S2 uses advanced red-eye reduction. Low-intensity light pulses cause the subject’s pupils to contract before the ﬂash ﬁres. The camera then analyzes the image for red-eye; if red-eye is detected, the image will be processed to reduce its ef- fects (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”). This slightly increases the amount of time needed to record each picture. If red-eye reduction does not produce the desired results, try again at another ﬂash setting.

Default Flash Mode

When the camera is turned on in (auto) mode, the most recent ﬂash setting will be restored; in other modes, the ﬂash will be reset to the default for the selected mode. Reset all ( 80) resets the ﬂash to AUTO ( mode) or to the default for the current mode (assist and scene modes).

Flash Range

Flash range varies with zoom position. When the camera is zoomed all the way out, the ﬂash has a range of 0.3–2.5 m (1´–8´2˝). The range at maximum zoom is 0.3–1.4 m (1´–4´7˝). As a result, the ﬂash may not be able to light the entire subject at distances of less than 0.3 m (1´). When taking close-ups, play each picture back after shooting
