the Same Time (A58)
When the shooting mode is A (auto) mode (A48), the changed flash setting is saved even if the
camera is turned off.
C Red-eye Reduction

his camera is equipped with an advanced red-eye reduction system.
Pre-flashes are fired several times at low intensity before the main flash to reduce the effects of red-
eye.
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 saved.
Note the following when using red-eye reduction:
• Because pre-flashes are fired before the picture is taken, there is a slight lag between when the
shutter-release button is pressed and when the picture is shot.
• The time required to save images increases slightly.
• Red-eye reduction may not always produce the desired results.
• In some rare cases, other portions of images may be affected. Use flash modes other than auto
