Built into every COOLPIX are marvelous technologies that ensure photographic excellence and sheer enjoyment
Nikon VR technologies help you produce blur-free images when
shooting in low light or unsteady conditions. Some COOLPIX
models offer optical lens or sensor shift VR, which compensates
for camera shake to deliver sharp images and steadier framing
with the LCD. Other models offer Electronic VR, which applies
movement data to image-processing to turn blurred images into
beautifully clear results.
Subject Tracking enhances your shooting experience by
automatically adjusting focus as it follows the movement of
your subject. Particularly useful when capturing children or pets
in those precious moments at play, Subject Tracking ensures
sharp focus and quick response to capture your best shot.
Touch screen controls on select COOLPIX models add a new
dimension of intuitive operation. When shooting, you can simply
touch the screen to select your subject, lock autofocus and
exposure, and even zoom in for a close-up. Playback includes
fingertip scrolling through images and image selection.
Note: Feature availability varies according to camera model.
Face-priority AF
Whether photographing an individual portrait or a group
of friends, Face-priority AF helps ensure satisfying results. It
automatically detects as many as 12 faces in the shot. Face-priority
AF automatically adjusts exposure to achieve
the right balance of brightness on your
subject’s face and across the whole picture.
You only have to press the shutter button to
enjoy shooting beautiful portraits.
Smile Mode
Smile Mode automatically releases the shutter when your subject
smiles to help you faithfully record the precious moment. Some
models also include Blink Warning and/or Blink Proof. Blink Proof
shoots two pictures and automatically saves the one in which the
subject’s eyes are wide open, while Blink Warning alerts you when
it suspects that
someone has
blinked.
In-Camera Red-Eye Fix
All COOLPIX cameras offer advanced red-eye
reduction capability that automatically analyzes
the captured image and corrects any perceived
red-eye effect before saving the image to memory.
Nikon’s Scene Auto Selector provides quick, carefree picture-
taking in a variety of situations. Determining what your subject
is and recognizing the conditions of the setting in which you
are shooting, Scene Auto Selector automatically selects the
appropriate scene mode for optimized results. Thus sparing you
the time and bother of selecting the scene mode by hand.
High ISO capability greatly increases photographic possibilities
by delivering excellent pictures in challenging conditions. It
helps you to capture subjects beautifully in low light without
compromising natural light or requiring long exposure time.
This minimizes the effects of camera shake. Also, by enabling
the selection of faster shutter speeds, it makes it easier to
capture fast-moving subjects with greater clarity.
HD Pictmotion
Enjoy high-quality HDTV playback and slideshows via HDMI
connectivity. HD Pictmotion lets you select favorite images,
then combine them with music and visual styles to create an
entertaining audiovisual show for enjoyment anywhere.
Motion Detection helps you produce sharper results by
automatically selecting a faster shutter speed and higher ISO
(light sensitivity) setting to compensate for subject movement or
camera shake. Motion
Detection frees you
to enjoy taking great
pictures instead
of worrying about
camera settings.

Puts the background out
of focus to emphasize the
subject. Portrait subjects
benefit from smooth, natural-
looking skin tones.
Portrait
Achieves a natural balance
between the main subject and
background lighting in portraits
taken at night.
Night Portrait
Makes the most of beautiful
colors seen in sunsets and
sunrises.
Sunset
Lets users compose and
photograph small objects at
close range.
Close-up
Blends sharpness with higher
than normal contrast to
capture text or drawings with
greater clarity in black-and-
white.
Copy
Provides greater depth of
field. Camera focuses at
infinity.
Landscape
Captures bright, natural-
looking portraits indoors while
maintaining background details.
Party/Indoor
Preserves the colors seen in
weak natural light conditions,
for example before sunrise or
after sunset.
Dusk/Dawn
Many museums don’t allow
the use of flash, so Museum
mode reduces the effects of
camera movement to enable
sharper shots without flash.
Museum
Because bright backgrounds
can cause nearby subjects to
underexpose, Backlight mode
adds flash automatically to
the foreground to ”fill in” the
shadows.
Backlight
Increases shutter speed, so users
can freeze the action in a single
shot and record motion as a series
of pictures.
* The COOLPIX S630, P90 and L100 are equipped
with Sport Continuous Mode.
Sports
Slow shutter speeds are used
to produce stunning night
landscapes.
Night Landscape
Keeps backgrounds and
human subjects vivid despite
the uncommonly bright
conditions.
Beach/Snow
Slow shutter speeds capture
the light trails of dramatic
bursting fireworks with
satisfying color and clarity.
Fireworks Show
Helps capture close-ups of
food more beautifully in
restaurants or at other tables
without using flash.
Food
Panorama Maker is software available with Nikon's
complementary Software Suite. A series of pictures taken
in Panorama Assist mode can be joined to produce a single
seamless panorama.
