_1_ The _) (Off) Indicator
Turn Vibration reduction (1_ 123) off when using a tripod, Note the following when lighting is
poor and the flash is OFF ((_)):
• Place the camera on a flat, level surface or use a tripod (recommended).
• The _ is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity to minimize blur caused
by slow shutter speed, Pictures taken when _ is displayed may be slightly mottled,
_1_ Note on Using the Flash
When using the flash at a wide angle zoom position, reflections from dust particles in the air may
appear as bright spots in pictures. To reduce these reflections, set the flash to (_) (Off) or zoom in on
the su b]ect,
[] The Flash Lamp
The flash lamp indicates flash status when the
shutter release button is pressed halfway.
• On: Flash will fire when picture is taken.
• Blinks: Flash charging, Wait a few seconds and
try again,
• Off: Flash will not fire when picture is taken,
If the remaining battery level is low, the monitor
will turn off until the flash has finished charging,
[] The Flash Mode Setting
The default setting of the flash mode depends on the shooting mode,
• I_1 (Auto): _flUTO Auto
• Scene mode: The default setting depends on the scene menu ([] 34).
• Scene auto selector mode: _flUTO Auto; The camera automatically sets the flash mode depending
on the scene mode automatically detected ([] 42).
• Food mode: (_) Off (locked)
• Smile mode: _flUTO Auto
• Time laps movie mode: _ttu'r0 Auto
In I_1 (Auto) mode, the changed flash mode setting is stored even if the camera is turned off.
[] Red-eye Reduction
The COOLPIX SS60 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,
• 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.
