If you are getting unexpected results when the flash is set to V (auto with red-eye reduction) on your Nikon Digital Camera, use auto mode or change the flash mode when taking pictures with V (auto with red-eye reduction) or fill flash with slow sync and red-eye reduction in Night portrait.
Why can't my Nikon Digital Camera focus?
If your Nikon Digital Camera cannot focus, it might be because the subject is too close. Try shooting using easy auto mode, Close-up scene modes, or macro mode. The issue could also be that autofocus does not perform well with the subject. In this case, adjust your shooting conditions. If you are using L26 model, set AF assist in the setup menu to Auto. As a general step, try turning the camera off and then on again.
Why is the monitor blank on my Nikon COOLPIX L26?
