jNote on Using the Flash

When using the flash at a wide-angle zoom position, bright reflections from dust particles in the air may appear as bright spots in the pictures. To reduce these reflections, set the flash to B (Off) in the monitor or zoom in on the subject.

kRed-eye Reduction

The COOLPIX L11/COOLPIX L10 is equipped with an advanced red-eye reduction system. Pre-flashes are fired several times at low intensity before the main flash to reduce “red-eye”. If the camera detects “red-eye” after a picture is taken, Nikon’s own In-Camera Red-Eye Fix processes the image as it is recorded. There- fore, there is a slight delay before the shutter-release button operates normally to take another picture. Red-eye reduction may not always produce the desired results. In some rare cases, other portion of pictures may be affected. Should this occur, choose another flash mode and try again.
