COOLPIX in-camera technologies give
you the edge when it comes to taking
beautiful pictures more easily and
with greater enjoyment.
VR image stabilization
The Nikon COOLPIX lineup offers an array of VR technologies
that produce blur-free images when shooting in low light
or unsteady conditions. Selected models are equipped with
Optical VR to compensate accurately for camera shake, which
delivers sharp and steady images and faster framing on the
LCD. In addition, some models offer Electronic VR, which
applies movement data to image-processing to turn blurred
images into beautifully clear results.

Better pictures in lower light
Select COOLPIX models offer higher ISO capability beyond the range
of conventional digital compacts. An exciting advantage that greatly
increases photographic possibilities, high ISO capability delivers
excellent exposures in challenging, oftentimes low light conditions,
broadening the scope of possible subjects and allowing scenes to be
captured beautifully without compromising natural light.
Shooting in low light
Higher ISO capability makes for better shooting in low light and
provides pleasing pictures without the need for fl ash or long exposure
times, minimizing the effects of camera shake.
With normal sensitivity With high sensitivity
Shooting fast-moving subjects
High ISO capability enables the selection of faster shutter speeds,
making it easier to capture fast-moving subjects with greater clarity.
Face-priority AF
Available with all COOLPIX cameras, Face-priority AF helps ensure
satisfyingly crisp portraits no matter where the subject is in the shot.
By automatically detecting people’s faces in the frame, Face-priority
AF frees the photographer to
simply press the shutter button to
produce sharp portraits with focus
exactly where it’s wanted.
Note: face-recognition capability may
be limited in some shooting conditions.
D-Lighting
D-Lighting is a unique technology with the ability to rescue
underexposed images or shots taken with excessive backlight. This
innovative feature adds light and detail where necessary, while
leaving correctly-exposed areas untouched. As a result, images are
signifi cantly improved in a much more natural-looking manner.
Without D-Lighting With D-Lighting
In-Camera Red-Eye FixTM
All COOLPIX cameras offer advanced red-eye reduction capability.
When set, Nikon's In-Camera Red-Eye Fix
the captured image for the presence of red-eye
effect, and corrects it in-camera before saving
the image to memory. You may never see red
eyes again!

Pictmotion - In-camera slideshow with music
So much more than a slideshow, Pictmotion lets users share
the fun of photography in a more creative, more entertaining
way. Users simply select a range of their favorite images, pick
a visual style and choose a soundtrack to suit the mood. The
camera then automatically produces a Pictmotion movie that
is ready for viewing on the camera’s LCD or on a TV monitor,
complete with timing and transitions determined by music
and style.
my Picturetown with wireless transfer
Nikon is changing the face of photography by being the fi rst to bring
the revolutionary new freedom of built-in Wi-Fi capability to compact
digital cameras. Select COOLPIX models employ Nikon technology that
makes it easy to connect to a wireless network at home, or from any
Wi-Fi hotspot. This function let’s you access Nikon’s my Picturetown
