Using the Flash

CThe Flash Mode Setting

The default setting of flash mode depends on the shooting mode.

•G(easy auto) mode: UAuto

•Scene mode: The default setting depends on the scene menu (A35).

•F(smart portrait) mode: UAuto

•d(sport continuous) mode: WOff (locked)

•A(auto) mode: UAuto

Flash cannot be used simultaneously with certain features. ➝ Camera Settings that Cannot Be Set at the Same Time (A58)

When the shooting mode is A(auto) mode (A48), the changed flash setting is saved even if the camera is turned off.

CRed-eye Reduction

This camera is equipped with an advanced red-eye reduction system.

Pre-flashes are fired several times at low intensity before the main flash to reduce the effects of red- eye.

If the camera detects “red-eye” when a picture is taken, Nikon’s own In-Camera Red-Eye Fix processes the image before it is saved.

Note the following when using red-eye reduction:

•Because pre-flashes are fired before the picture is taken, there is a slight lag between when the shutter-release button is pressed and when the picture is shot.

•The time required to save images increases slightly.

•Red-eye reduction may not always produce the desired results.

•In some rare cases, other portions of images may be affected. Use flash modes other than auto with red-eye reduction in the above cases.
