Nikon continues to add to its range of COOLPIX in-camera technologies – extending
shooting opportunity into ever more diverse situations and making it easier and more
enjoyable to take pictures you can be proud of.

Vibration Reduction
Nikon COOLPIX cameras offer an array of VR technologies that
produce blur-free images when shooting in unsteady conditions.
Selected models offer shooting with Lens Shift VR, which feels like
shooting three shutter speeds faster! Using an in-built sensor to detect
and correct for camera movement, the system delivers sharp and
steady images, is effective for movie shooting, and even enables faster
framing on the LCD. Other models offer Image Sensor Shift VR, which
again uses a velocity sensor, but moves the image sensor to achieve
accurate camera shake compensation. There’s also Electronic VR that
applies movement data to image processing to turn blurred images
into beautifully clear results, anytime, as well as e-VR for movies that
adds stability to the capture of action.

Selected models of the impressive COOLPIX lineup offer ISO capability
beyond conventional digital compacts. An exciting advantage that
greatly extends photographic possibility, high ISO capability delivers
excellent exposure in challenging conditions, broadens the scope of
possible subjects and allows scenes to be beautifully captured without
compromising natural light.
Shooting in low light
Higher light sensitivity makes
for better shooting in low light,
providing pleasing pictures
without the need for fl ash or
extended exposure.

Capturing fast-moving subjects

the selection of faster shutter

Nikon’s revolutionary in-camera
innovations can make virtually
any image more attractive.
Face -priority AF
Available only with Nikon COOLPIX cameras, the clever
Face-priority AF function helps ensure satisfyingly crisp
portraits no matter where the subject is in the shot.
Automatically detecting people’s faces in the frame,
Face-priority AF signals subject recognition through the
use of an on-screen icon, leaving the photographer free
to depress the shutter for sharp portraits with focus
exactly where it’s wanted.
Note: Face recognition capability may be limited in some shooting conditions.
D-Lighting
Only Nikon delivers the advantage of D-Lighting – a unique technology with the ability
to rescue underexposed images or shots taken with excessive backlight. Accessible
in Playback mode, this innovative feature automatically creates
a copy of the image, with light and detail
added wherever necessary and wellexposed areas left exactly as they are. As a
result, images are signifi cantly improved in a
much more natural-looking manner.
With D-LightingWithout D-Lighting
In-Camera Red-Eye Fix
Compared to other digital compacts, COOLPIX cameras offer more
refi ned red-eye reduction capability. First, a series of pre-fl ashes serve
to constrict the pupils of the eye. The camera then analyzes the
recorded image for the remaining presence of red eyes, automatically
correcting them in-camera during storage of the image.
Pictmotion
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 and movies, pick a
visual style and choose from up to fi ve pre-installed soundtracks
or load up to fi ve new ones to suit the mood*. The camera then
produces a Pictmotion movie automatically, with pace and transitions
determined by music and style ready for viewing anytime, anywhere
on the camera’s large, bright LCD.
* Loading of additional soundtracks available via PictureProject for Windows only.
