Red-Eye Reduction

The “Red-eye reduction” flash function of the COOLPIX P1/P2 uses an advanced red-eye re-

duction method. Several pre-flashes are fired before the main flash fires to reduce “red-eye.”

In addition to this function, if “red-eye” is detected the camera will automatically correct it

when storing the picture (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”). Using this function there is slight delay

before you can press the shutter release again for the next shot. Depending on the situation,

red-eye reduction may not always produce the desired results. In some rare cases, other pic-

ture areas may be affected as well as the “red-eye” area. In this case, choose another flash

mode and try again.

Flash Range

• Flash range varies with zoom position. When the camera is zoomed all the way out, the

flash has a range of approximately. XXX - XXX m/XXX' - XXX". When the camera is

zoomed all the way in, the flash has a range of approximately. XXX - XXX m/XXX' - XXX"

with Auto in Sensitivity.

• The flash may not be able to light the entire subject at distances of less than XXX cm

(XXX'). When taking close-ups, play each picture back after shooting to check the results.

Sensitivity (ISO Equivalency)

Sensitivity is a measure of how sensitive the camera responds to

light. Your Nikon digital camera normally has a sensitivity roughly

equivalent to film with an ISO 50 rating for COOLPIX P1 or ISO 64

rating for COOLPIX P2.

When sensitivity is set to Auto, the camera will automatically in-

crease sensitivity in response to lighting conditions, permitting faster

exposures and minimizing blur caused by inadvertent camera move-

ment (camera shake).

An ISO icon will be displayed to warn that pictures may be slightly mottled.
