4 way VR Image Stabilization minimizes the effects of camera shake for sharper results

• Nikon’s Optical VR image stabilization compensates for the effects

of camera shake by moving the image sensor.

• Motion Detection automatically detects a moving subject and adjusts shutter

speed and the ISO setting to compensate for camera shake and subject movement.

• High ISO 64001 capability helps give you sharper results when shooting

in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects.

• Nikon’s original Best Shot Selector automatically takes up to 10 shots

while the shutter is pressed and saves the sharpest image.

24x zoom that delivers both wider and longer reach

The COOLPIX P90 offers the unbeatable compositional freedom of a quality 24x Zoom-NIKKOR ED lens that features outstanding focal range from 26mm wide-angle to 624mm super-telephoto shooting. And it even covers macro shooting ability from as close as

0.4 inches (1cm) from your subject.

Advanced shooting modes (P, S, A and M)

The Mode Dial provides quick access to greater personal control over camera operation and the rich creative possibilities offered by Programmed Auto [P], Shutter-priority Auto [S], Aperture-priority Auto [A] and Manual [M] exposure modes.

15 frame-per-second high-speed capability

Sport Continuous Mode lets you shoot as many as 45 consecutive pictures2 at 15 fps to stay ahead of most any action you wish to capture. Furthermore, the Pre-shooting Cache option enables you to record up to 10 frames just before releasing the shutter.

3-inch vari-angle LCD adds greater framing freedom

Given the versatile reach and range of the 24x zoom lens, you’re bound to ﬁnd yourself wanting to shoot from the hip, or from a higher angle. That’s why, in addition to its electronic viewﬁnder, the COOLPIX P90 features a huge, bright 3-inch high-resolution vari-angle LCD with anti-reﬂection coating. The LCD can be tilted upward as much as 90 degrees, or 45 degrees downward.

ISO 6400 capability

Light sensitivity range up to ISO 6400 creates new opportunities to take sharper, more natural-looking photos in lower light conditions, or when shooting fast-moving subjects.

Nikon’s Scene Auto Selector

Automatically recognizes the scene and selects from one of six scene modes for best results. The COOLPIX P90 will choose, Portrait, Night Portrait, Close-up (macro), Landscape, Night Landscape or Backlight mode.
