The vibration reduction / motion detection icon
Vibration reduction corrects camera shaking that commonly occurs when shooting with zooming or at slow shutter speeds. Motion detection increases the shutter speed in shooting still pictures to reduce the vibrations when camera shaking or subject blurring is detected. (This function is not activated in the movie mode.) A description of each vibration reduction / motion detection icon is as follows. s: Vibration reduction (A 123) is set to ON and the motion detection (A 124) is set to AUTO (default setting) on the setup menu (A 114). q: Vibration reduction is set to ON and the motion detection is set to OFF. r: Motion detection is set to AUTO and vibration reduction is set to OFF. No icon: Both vibration reduction and the motion detection are set to OFF. Turn vibration reduction off when using a tripod. In the shooting mode (A 124) where motion detection is not activated, s or r is not displayed regardless of the setting of the motion detection.

Selecting multiple pictures for deletion
When Delete (A 111) is selected from the playback menu (A 108) or the list by date menus (A 70), multiple pictures can be deleted.

Using the Flash

The flash has a range of approx. 0.5-8.5 m (1 ft. 8 in.-27 ft.) when the camera is zoomed out all the way. With maximum optical zoom applied, the range is approx. 0.8-4.3 m (2 ft. 8 in.-14 ft.) (when ISO sensitivity is set to Auto). The following flash modes are available.
Auto Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor. Auto with red-eye reduction Reduces red-eye in portraits (A 29). Off Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor. Fill flash Flash fires when a picture is taken. Use to fill-in (illuminate) shadows and back-lit subjects.
Slow sync U (auto) is combined with slow shutter speed. Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim light.

Red-eye Reduction

The COOLPIX S710 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 redeye after a picture is taken, Nikons 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.

However, at the same image size, pictures printed at higher resolutions will print smaller than the size indicated, and those printed at lower resolutions will print larger than the size indicated.

B White Balance

The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is known as white balance. For natural coloration, choose a white balance setting that matches the light source before shooting. Although the default setting, Auto, can be used under most types of lighting, you can apply the white balance setting suited to a particular light source to achieve more accurate results.
a Auto (default setting) White balance automatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions. Best choice in most situations. b Preset manual Neutral-colored object used as reference to set white balance under unusual lighting conditions. Please refer to Preset Manual for more information(A 98). c d e f g Daylight White balance adjusted for direct sunlight. Incandescent
Use under incandescent lighting. Fluorescent Use under most types of fluorescent lighting. Cloudy Use when taking pictures under overcast skies. Flash Use with the flash mode.
The selected option can be previewed in the monitor. At settings other than Auto, the icon for the current setting is displayed on the monitor (A 6).

Flash Mode

At white-balance settings other than Auto or Flash, turn the flash off (W) (A 28).

Preset Manual

Preset manual is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been taken under white light).
Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be used during shooting. Use the rotary multi selector to choose b Preset manual in the White balance menu, and press k.
