Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode Using the Flash j The B (Off) Indicator Note the following when lighting is poor and the flash is off (B). • Place the camera on a flat, level surface or use a tripod (recommended). • The W is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity to minimize blur caused by slow shutter speed (c 6). Pictures taken when W is displayed may be slightly mottled. j Note on Using the Flash 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. k The Flash Lamp The flash lamp indicates flash status when the shutter-release 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. k Advanced Red-Eye Reduction The COOLPIX S200 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. • Not recommended for when shutter-release timing is essential. • 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. k Electronic VR When flash mode is set to B or D, Electronic VR (c 92) will be enabled according to shooting conditions and may be applied to blurred pictures when they are recorded (L is displayed in the monitor when shooting). Electronic VR can be set to [Off] in the [Electronic VR] option of the shooting menu (c 92). 29
