Basic Photography and Playback: Easy Auto Mode Using the Flash B The W (Off) Indicator Note the following when lighting is poor and the flash is off (W): • Place the camera on a flat, level surface or use a tripod (recommended). • The E symbol is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity. Pictures taken when E is displayed may be slightly mottled. B Note on Using the Flash When using the flash at a wide-angle zoom position, reflections from dust particles in the air may appear as bright spots in pictures. To reduce these reflections, set the flash to W (Off) or zoom in on the subject. C The Flash Lamp The flash lamp indicates flash status when the shutterrelease button is pressed halfway. • On: Flash will fire when picture is taken. • Blinks: Flash charging. Wait a few seconds and try again. • Off: Flash will not fire when picture is taken. Flash lamp If the battery level is low, monitor turns off and the flash lamp blinks until the flash is completely charged. C The Flash Mode Setting In any flash mode selected in the shooting mode other than A (auto) mode, switching to another shooting mode or turning the camera off restores the default flash setting for each shooting mode. The default setting is U (auto). (except for some scene modes) C Red-eye Reduction The COOLPIX L18/COOLPIX L16 is equipped with an advanced red-eye reduction system. Pre-flashes are fired several times at low intensity before the main flash, to reduce "red-eye." If the camera detects "red-eye" after a picture is taken, Nikon's own In-Camera Red Eye Fix processes the image as it is recorded. Therefore, there is a slight delay before the shutter-release button operates normally to take another picture. Note the following when using red-eye reduction: • Not recommended for when shutter-release timing is essential. • It takes a longer time than usual to start the next shooting. • Red-eye reduction may not always produce the desired results. • In some rare cases, other portions of pictures may be affected. Use flash modes other than auto with red-eye reduction in above cases. 27
