Using The Flash - Nikon Coolpix P900 Reference Manual

B
Notes About Saving Images or Movies
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing
the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do
not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the
battery or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in
loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.
C
The Auto Off Function
• When no operations are performed for about one minute, the monitor turns off,
the camera enters standby mode, and then the power-on lamp flashes. The
camera turns off after remaining in standby mode for about three minutes.
• To turn the monitor back on while the camera is in standby mode, perform an
operation such as pressing the power switch or shutter-release button.
C
When Using a Tripod
• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:
- When shooting in dim lighting with the flash mode set to W (off)
- When the zoom is at a telephoto position
• When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Vibration
reduction to Off in the setup menu (A57) to prevent potential errors caused by
this function.

Using the Flash

In situations where a flash is needed, such as in
dark locations or when the subject is backlit,
press the m (flash pop-up) button to raise the
flash.
• When not using the flash, gently push to
lower the flash until it clicks shut.
