When Lighting Is Poor When lighting is poor, sensitivity is raised to compensate and the image in the monitor may be slightly mottled. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. The (Camera Shake) Icon When lighting is poor and the flash 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 AUTO 10 Light from the flash reflected from particles of dust or other matter in the air may appear in pictures as bright specks. If this occurs, turn the flash off and try again. Red-eye Reduction The COOLPIX S1 uses advanced red-eye reduction. Low-intensity light pulses cause the subject's pupils to contract before the flash fires. The camera then analyzes the image for red-eye; if red-eye is detected, the image will be processed to reduce its effects. 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 flash setting. Default Flash Mode When the camera is turned on in (auto) mode, the most recent flash setting will be restored; in other modes, the flash will be reset to the default for the selected mode. Reset all ( 80) resets the flash 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 flash 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 flash 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 to check the results.
