Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode Using the Flash B The W (Off) Indicator Turn Vibration reduction (A 123) off when using a tripod. 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 is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity to minimize blur caused by slow shutter speed. 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 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. If the remaining battery level is low, the monitor will turn off until the flash has finished charging. C The Flash Mode Setting The default setting of the flash mode depends on the shooting mode. • A (Auto): U Auto • Scene mode: The default setting depends on the scene menu (A 34). • Scene auto selector mode: U Auto; The camera automatically sets the flash mode depending on the scene mode automatically detected (A 42). • Food mode: W Off (locked) • Smile mode: U Auto • Time-laps movie mode: U Auto In A (Auto) mode, the changed flash mode setting is stored even if the camera is turned off. C Red-eye Reduction The COOLPIX S560 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 "redeye" 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 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. 29
