Features That Can Be Set Using the Multi Selector Available Flash Modes U Auto The flash fires automatically when lighting is dim. V Auto with red-eye reduction Suitable for portraits. Reduces red-eye effect caused by flash in portraits. W Off The flash does not fire. Using a tripod is recommended to stabilize the camera when shooting in dark surroundings. X Fill flash The flash fires when a picture is taken, regardless of how bright the subject is. Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects. Y Slow sync Auto flash mode is combined with a slow shutter speed. Suitable for portraits of human subjects shot at night or under dim light. Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background. Shooting Features C Flash Mode Setting • The setting varies with shooting mode. See "Available Functions" (A53) and "Default Settings" (A59) for more information. • This feature cannot be used in combination with certain features. See "Features That Cannot Be Used Simultaneously" (A63). • The changed flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is saved in the camera's memory even after the camera is turned off. 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 flash mode and try again. 55
