When Lighting Is Poor

When lighting is poor, sensitivity is raised to compensate and the image in the monitor

may be slightly “grainy.” This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

The (Camera Shake) Icon

When lighting is poor and the ﬂ ash is off ( ), shutter

speeds will slow and pictures may be blurred. If the shutter

speed required for exposure is very slow, a (camera

shake) warning be displayed. Use of a tripod or support is

recommended. Mottling may appear in pictures taken when

this icon is displayed.

Dust or Mist

Light from the ﬂ ash reﬂ ected from particles of dust or other matter in the air may ap-

pear in pictures as bright specks. If this occurs, turn the ﬂ ash off and try again.

Red-eye Reduction

The COOLPIX S2 uses advanced red-eye reduction. Low-intensity light pulses cause

the subject’s pupils to contract before the ﬂ ash ﬁ res. The camera then analyzes the

image for red-eye; if red-eye is detected, the image will be processed to reduce its ef-

fects (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”). This slightly increases the amount of time needed to

record each picture. If red-eye reduction does not produce the desired results, try again

at another ﬂ ash setting.

Default Flash Mode

When the camera is turned on in (auto) mode, the most recent ﬂ ash setting will be

restored; in other modes, the ﬂ ash will be reset to the default for the selected mode.

Reset all ( 80) resets the ﬂ ash to AUTO ( mode) or to the default for the current

mode (assist and scene modes).

Flash Range

Flash range varies with zoom position. When the camera is zoomed all the way out,

the ﬂ ash has a range of 0.3 – 2.5 m (1´ – 8´2˝). The range at maximum zoom is 0.3 –1.4 m

(1´ – 4´7˝). As a result, the ﬂ ash may not be able to light the entire subject at distances

of less than 0.3 m (1´). When taking close-ups, play each picture back after shooting
