Red-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 “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. Therefore, there is a slight delay before the shutter-release button
operates normally to take another picture.
Note the following when using red-eye reduction:
• Not recommended when shutter-release timing is essential because it takes a longer time than
using the usual shooting mode from when the shutter-release button is pressed to when the
shutter is released.
• After taking a picture, it takes more time than normal before you can take another picture.
• Red-eye reduction may not always produce the desired results.
• In some rare cases, other portions of pictures may be affected. Use flash modes other than auto
with red-eye reduction in above cases.
