Nikon Coolpix 300 - Manual (Page 80)

66 Settings : Using the Flash
The COOLPIX 300 also includes a red-eye reduction option, which can be
used to reduce the so-called “red-eye effect,” a phenomenon produced
when light from the flash is reflected from within the eyes of people and
animals. When the red-eye reduction function is on, the red-eye reduction
indicator (
) appears in the status bar next to the flash icon. When the
red-eye reduction indicator is displayed, the red-eye lamp will be activated
whenever the flash is used. Full-pressing the shutter release button will
first activate the red-eye lamp. Approximately one second later, the
camera will fire the main flash and record the image.
Note: The COOLPIX 300's built-in flash has a range of 1.2 – 2.25 meters
(3´11˝ – 7´5˝).
To change the flash settings, touch the flash-mode icon in the settings list
