Features That Can Be Set Using the Multi Selector

CEffective Range of the Flash

The flash has a range of about 0.5 to 6.0 m (1 ft 8 in. to 19 ft) for wide-angle position, and about 1.5 to 3.5 m (5 ft to 11 ft) for telephoto zoom position (when ISO sensitivity is set to Auto).

CFlash Mode Setting

The setting varies with shooting mode. See “Available Functions” (A49) and “List of the Default Settings” (A59) for more information.

Some features cannot be used in combination with other menu settings. See “Features Not Available in Combination” (A64) for more information.

The changed flash mode setting applied in A(auto) mode is saved in the camera’s memory even after the camera is turned off.

CAuto with Red-eye Reduction

This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”).

Pre-flashes are fired repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the red-eye effect.

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 recorded.

Note the following when taking pictures:

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

The time required to save the picture increases slightly.

Advanced red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.

In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by advanced red-eye reduction processing. In these cases, choose another mode and try again.
