      Brent LynnAug 25, 2025
      If your Nikon Digital Camera cannot focus, it may be because the intended subject is one with which autofocus does not perform well. Try setting AF assist in the setup menu to Auto, or turn the camera off and then on again.

    Why do I get unexpected results when flash is set to V (auto with red-eye reduction) on my Nikon COOLPIX S8000 Digital Camera?

      Jamie ParkerSep 18, 2025
      When taking pictures with V (auto with red-eye reduction) or fill flash with slow sync and red-eye reduction in Night portrait scene mode on your Nikon Digital Camera, In-Camera Red Eye Fix may be applied to areas not affected by red-eye. Use any scene mode other than Night portrait, and change the flash mode to any setting other than V (auto with red-eye reduction) and try taking a picture again.
