image quality. Or pick one of the “P” series cameras to take quality even higher and seize
much closer control. Whichever you pick, you’re sure to be highly impressed.

Unique Nikon technologies built into COOLPIX cameras make it easy for anyone
to enjoy sharper shots, enhanced exposure and more flattering flash photography,
while further innovations extend the fun and freedom after shooting.
Vibration Reduction
Nikon’s revolutionary in-camera
innovations can make virtually any image
more attractive.
Originally developed for Nikon’s renowned range of SLRs, the
advantage of Vibration Reduction is now available in selected COOLPIX
cameras. Employing highly accurate angular velocity sensors, the
system measures vertical and horizontal camera movement and then
feeds the information back to an onboard microcomputer. The VR unit
then effects precise adjustments accordingly to offset camera shake
and compensate for image movement on the CCD – allowing sharp
images to be taken in unsteady conditions, enabling framing to be
accelerated on the LCD and realizing a photographic experience akin
to shooting at a shutter speed three stops faster.

Face-priority AF
Pictmotion
Wireless image transfer
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 a soundtrack 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.
Nikon is the first to bring built-in Wi-Fi capability to the compact
camera, changing the face of photography with revolutionary new
fun and freedom. Enabling users to do away with the need for wires
and cables, this Nikon advance allows selected COOLPIX cameras
to achieve a wireless IEEE 802.11b/g connection, so pictures can be
sent straight through the air to a computer as soon as they’re taken,
or even directly to a PictBridge-compatible printer*.
* Wireless printing requires optional Wireless Printer Adapter PD-10.
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.

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 well-exposed
areas left exactly as they are. As a result, images are
significantly improved in a much more natural-looking
manner.
Without D-Lighting
In-Camera Red-Eye Fix
Compared to other digital compacts, COOLPIX cameras offer
more refined red-eye reduction capability. First, a series of preflashes 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.

Explanation of functions
Effective Megapixels
High-quality Zoom
Movie with Sound
Scene modes
In-Camera Red-Eye Fix
Date Imprint
The effective megapixel count is the number of pixels that actually makes
up the image captured by a digital camera. Images recorded with more
effective megapixels will therefore contain a larger amount of image
information, resulting in higher-level sharpness. See Total Megapixels.
COOLPIX cameras offer ample zooming capability, with performance
extending to 10x zoom with the COOLPIX S4. As a result, they make it easy
to zoom in for tight portraits, for example, or zoom right out to capture
expansive landscapes.
The ability to record movies with sound lets you capture so much more
of the moment, letting you record voices along with faces, or background
noise to accompany scenery.
Scene modes make it easy to achieve pleasing results in a wide range of
common situations. Select the icon best matching the scene and let the
camera choose the optimal settings automatically.
Refer to page 4.
The Date Imprint function automatically adds date information to images
taken, making it easy to organize pictures later on.
Time-lapse Movie
Advanced Scene modes
Time-lapse Movie mode creates movies out of images taken using the
Time-lapse feature, which enables users to specify the interval between
shots. Ideal for capturing action taking place over longer durations, it
can be used to produce movies of flowers blooming, or clouds rushing
across the sky, for example.
Advanced Scene modes let you apply different color shades to individual
Scene modes, choosing from different intensity levels to produce
pictures more in tune with your tastes.
Total Megapixels
Not all pixels record a part of the image. Some are purposely masked off
to receive no light, producing a baseline value from which to calibrate light
received by the effective pixels. The number of masked-off pixels plus
the number of effective pixels equals the number of total megapixels. See
Effective Megapixels.

Nikkor Lenses
Highly respected by leading professional photographers, Nikkor lenses are
renowned for their outstanding autofocus performance, true-to-life color,
high contrast and exceptional sharpness.
Nikkor ED Glass
Lenses made of Super ED glass achieve sharper, clearer images. They
are also more resilient than conventional lenses and offer more consistent
optical performance.
70mm
Internal Memory
TV/Small Size Movie
Internal memory gives you the freedom to shoot images at any time,
even when you’re not carrying any memory media. It also makes it easy
to transfer images between memory media as you please.
TV movie mode records VGA-size images (640 x 480 pixels) that fit
perfectly on a TV screen. Small movie produces QVGA-size movies (320
x 240 pixels).
Direct Printing (PictBridge)
Best Shot Selector (BSS)
PictBridge direct print capability lets you conveniently connect your
camera direct to a compatible printer — doing away with the need for a
computer.
Best Shot Selector automatically selects the shot with the sharpest
focus from a series of consecutive images.
Macro mode lets you fill the frame with small
objects, adjusting the lens for much closer
focus and stopping down the aperture for
maximum depth of field.
Refer to page 4.
The Small Picture function reduces the size of data for selected images,
making them better suited to emailing.
TTL White Balance
Continuous Shooting
Through The Lens White Balance automatically ensures accurate, optimal
color temperature across a range of lighting conditions, keeping colors
true to the way you see them.
Swift continuous shooting capability lets you take a series of pictures in quick
succession, making it easy to capture action as it happens.
USB Interface
Normal
Effect 1
Effect 2
USB connectivity gives you plug-and-play convenience when
connecting your camera to a computer or compatible printer —
enabling image data to be transferred with speed and ease.

Small Picture
Send shots from memory media to a computer at will,
transfer each image to computer as soon as it’s taken,
or send images direct to a compatible printer — all
without the need for wires and cables.

Scene assist helps you take better pictures when
using Portrait, Landscape, Sports and Night
Landscape Scene modes — helping you compose
your pictures with useful framing guides displayed in
the monitor.
Face-priority AF*
Enabling greater control over the shot, Aperture-priority Auto mode lets
you manually select aperture size, while the camera chooses the optimal
shutter speed.
The handy Voice Recording function can be used to record literally
hours of sound when used with sufficient memory media.
Color Options let you produce more creative results in a manner
similar to using a filter, letting you change the mood of your images
with a choice of Standard color, Vivid color, Black-and-white, Sepia
and Cyanotype.
D-Lighting
Electronic VR detects and compensates for minor camera movement
in-camera, adding greater stability during movie recording.
