Selected models are equipped with one of two types of Optical VR systems: Lens Shift VR which delivers sharp and steady images effective for shooting and faster framing with the LCD, or Image Sensor Shift VR which moves the image sensor to accurately compensate for camera shake. Other models offer Electronic VR which applies movement data to image processing to turn blurred images into beautifully clear results. VR in low light VR with slow shutter speeds Without VR With VR Without VR With VR Better pictures in lower light Selected COOLPIX models offer ISO capability beyond the range of conventional digital compacts. An exciting advantage that greatly increases photographic possibilities, high ISO capability delivers excellent exposure in challenging conditions, broadens the scope of possible subjects and allows scenes to be captured beautifully 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 flash or extended exposure. With normal sensitivity With high sensitivity With normal sensitivity With high sensitivity Shooting fast-moving subjects High ISO capability enables the selection of faster shutter speeds, making it easy to capture swift-moving subjects with significantly better clarity. Face-priority AF COOLPIX in-camera technologies give you the edge when it comes to taking beautiful pictures more easily and with greater enjoyment. Included are innovative functions that increase shooting opportunities in a broader range of situations, help to optimize images, and add a new dimension of fun to sharing those results. 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. By automatically detecting people's faces in the frame, the photographer is free to press 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 where necessary, while leaving correctly-exposed areas untouched. As a result, images are significantly improved in a manner that is much more natural-looking. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix COOLPIX cameras offer refined red-eye reduction capability that surpasses other digital compacts. First, a series of preflashes stimulate the subject's pupils, causing them to constrict. The camera then analyzes the captured image for the remaining presence of red eyes, automatically correcting them in-camera before saving the image to memory. Without D-Lighting With D-Lighting 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 and movies, pick a visual style and choose from up to five pre-installed soundtracks or load up to ten 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 Software Suite for Windows only. my Picturetown with wireless transfer Nikon is changing the face of photography by being the first 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 service, an image storage and sharing site that integrates storage, viewing and transfer functions. * Usage varies according to country or region.
