Using the Flash The COOLPIX 300 includes a built-in flash which offers the following three settings: "Auto," "On," and "Off." When the camera is in recording mode, the camera's current flash setting can be determined by checking the flash-mode icon displayed in the settings list at the top right corner of the main window of the touch-panel display. Auto When the flash is set to "Auto," the camera's internal auto exposure circuitry will automatically activate the flash when lighting is poor. This setting is the best choice in most circumstances. Off When set to "Off," the flash will not be activated even when light is inadequate. Set the flash to "Off" when you have prepared your own lighting effects, when you wish to capture natural lighting under low light conditions, or where use of a flash is prohibited. On If the flash is set to "On," the flash will be activated whenever the shutter release button is fully depressed. Set the flash to "On" to "fill-in" a back-lit subject. Note: The flash will automatically be set to "Off" when the batteries are too weak to charge the flash and also when the camera is connected to the AC adaptor or in macro close-up mode. When the flash is set to "Auto," pressing the shutter release button halfway will activate the auto exposure circuitry, causing the flash to charge whenever lighting is poor. While the flash is charging, the camera's READY lamp will flicker. You will not be able to take photographs until the flash is fully charged. When the flash is fully charged, the READY lamp will glow steadily. Press the shutter release button the rest of the way to fire the flash and record an image. Note: When using the flash, be careful not to place your finger over the flash window. Settings : Using the Flash 65

Using the Flash
The COOLPIX 300 includes a built-in flash which offers the following
three settings:
“Auto,” “On,” and “Off.”
When the camera is in recording
mode, the camera’s current flash setting can be determined by checking the
flash-mode icon displayed in the settings list at the top right corner of the
main window of the touch-panel display.
Auto
When the flash is set to “Auto,” the camera's internal auto
exposure circuitry will automatically activate the flash
when lighting is poor.
This setting is the best choice in
most circumstances.
Off
When set to “Off,” the flash will not be activated even
when light is inadequate.
Set the flash to “Off” when you
have prepared your own lighting effects, when you wish
to capture natural lighting under low light conditions, or
where use of a flash is prohibited.
On
If the flash is set to “On,” the flash will be activated
whenever the shutter release button is fully depressed.
Set the flash to “On” to “fill-in” a back-lit subject.
Note:
The flash will automatically be set to “Off” when the batteries are
too weak to charge the flash and also when the camera is connected to the
AC adaptor or in macro close-up mode.
When the flash is set to “Auto,” pressing the shutter release button half-
way will activate the auto exposure circuitry, causing the flash to charge
whenever lighting is poor.
While the flash is charging, the camera’s
READY lamp will flicker.
You will not be able to take photographs until
the flash is fully charged.
When the flash is fully charged, the READY
lamp will glow steadily.
Press the shutter release button the rest of the way
to fire the flash and record an image.
Note:
When using the flash, be careful not to place your finger over the
flash window.
