Basic Photography and Playback: A (Auto) Mode

Using the Flash

In dark locations or when the subject is backlit, you can shoot pictures with flash by

raising the built-in flash. You can set a flash mode that suits the shooting conditions.

The flash has a range of about 0.5 to 10 m (1 ft. 8 in. to 32 ft.) for wide, and about 1.7 to 2.5 m

(5 ft. 8 in. to 8 ft. 2 in.) for tele (when ISO sensitivity is set to Auto).

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 mode and try again.

When Red-eye reduction (A163) in the setup menu is set to Pre-flash off, the shutter is released

immediately when the shutter-release button is fully pressed, without firing the pre-flashes before the

main flash.

Auto

Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.

Auto with red-eye reduction

Reduces “red-eye” in portraits.

Off

Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor.

Fill flash

Flash fires when a picture is taken, regardless of how bright the subject is. Use to “fill-

in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects.

Slow sync

Fill flash is combined with slow shutter speed.

Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background

at night or under dim light.

Rear-curtain sync

Flash fires just before shutter closes, creating the effect of a stream of light behind

moving subjects.
