Red-eye Reduction
The COOLPIX L18/COOLPIX L16 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 for when shutter-release timing is essential.
• It takes a longer time than usual to start the next shooting.
• 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.
