Pa
Red-eye Reduction
The
COOLPIX
5710
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. Note the follOWing when using red-eye reduction:
• Not recommended when shutter-release
timing
is
essential because it takes a longer
time
than
using the usual shooting
mode
from when
the
shutter-release
button
is
pressed
to
when the
shutter
is
released.
• 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.
