• The changed flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is saved in the camera’s memory even
after the camera is turned off.
C
Auto 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 flash mode and try again.

“fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects.
