How It Works

Flash fires when

lighting is poor.

Flash will not fire even

when lighting is poor.

Pre-flash lamp lights

before main flash.

This causes subject’s

pupils to contract

before main flash

fires, minimizing “red-

eye” effect caused by

flash reflecting from

retina.

Flash fires whenever

picture is taken.

Auto flash combined

with slow shutter

speed.

When to Use It

Best choice in most circumstances.

Use when subject is outside range of

flash, to capture natural lighting under

dim light, or where use of a flash is

prohibited. Use of a tripod is

recommended to prevent blurring.

Use for portraits (works best when

subjects are well within range of flash

and looking at pre-flash lamp).

Between your pressing shutter-release

button and the picture being taken,

there is a slight delay to allow the pre-

flash lamp to take effect, and

consequently red-eye reduction is not

recommended with subjects that are

moving erratically or in other situations

in which you want the camera to react

quickly.

Used to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows

and backlit subjects.

Use to capture both subject and

background at night or under dim

light. Use of a tripod is recommended

to prevent blurring.

The Flash-Ready Light

A short pause is required between exposures for the flash system to charge. If

the shutter release button is pressed halfway while the flash is charging, the red

light next to the viewfinder will blink. Remove your finger briefly from the shutter

release button and try again.

Keep the Flash Window Clear

Keep your fingers and other objects away from the flash window when using

the flash. If a shot seems dark even though the flash fired, this may indicate that

you accidentally blocked the flash window; check that the flash is unobstructed

and try again.

I have owned a number of Coolpix cameras and this one is by far the most complicated when it comes not to just setting it up, but even charging the batteries. The truth is I'm not very tech savvy and I'm also disabled but it was at least able to get a very good deal on this camera but I just don't want to make any mistakes. I know that Nikon offers at least downloads for manuals for free and if that's just not the case for your company then I will look elsewhere, but I just wanted to be honest
