More Features
The exclusive Nikon In-Camera Red-Eye Fix function analyzes image data and corrects typical instances of red-eye in less than 3 seconds. It's activated when the camera is set to the red eye reduction flash mode, where a the typical pre-flash first minimizes red eye effect. The camera then analyzes the picture using powerful image processing and analysis technology, which is completely automatic and transparent.

You have a choice of automatic, preset, and 7 manual white balance modes. Additionally, the Coolpix 4200 divides the shooting area into segments to determine the most appropriate setting for the capture of faithful colors. There's also a white balance bracketing function, which takes a series of three shots at different white balance settings wit
