newbie Nikon Q: D200 On/Off Red Eye Reduction Light

[alextgm]

Hi All,

I am a DSLR newbie and just bought myself a brand new D200 recently which I thought I cannot afford sometime back.

Here is my first question and posting here. While exploring all features of the D200 using my family memebrs as models, they complained that the Red Eye Reduction light irritates their eyes alot. Also, when the taking candid pictures, the light also disrupt there activities where they turn and look at the camera.

May I know if you do turn off the red eye reduction light? If so, how do you do that? I cant seems to find the feature from the manual.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards
Alex

there's a little button somewhere just below the pop-up flash, IIRC. just press and turn the rear dial.

That's not the red-eye reduction light. That is the AF Assist illumination light - helps the camera to focus in low light and can be annoying to some people when it shines in their eyes. Check custom setting a-9 to turn it off.

Hi nightwolf, knpan, gooseberry, chngpe01,

Thanks for your response and pointers. I had tried out gooswberry's direction and indeed it is the AF assist light. ^_^

Cheers and have a great week ahead.
