Auto with Red-eye Reduction

The “Auto with red-eye reduction” flash function of the COOLPIX5200 uses an ad- vanced red-eye reduction method. Several pre-flashes are fired before the main flash fires to reduce “red-eye.” In addition to this function, if “red-eye” is detected the cam- era will automatically correct it when storing the picture. Using this function there is slight delay before you can press the shutter release again for the next shot. Depending on the situation, red-eye reduction may not always produce the desired results. In some rare cases, other picture areas may be affected as well as the “red-eye” area. In this case, choose another flash mode and try again.
