Resolution and Optics
Effective megapixels
The number of pixels that actually make 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.
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.
Optical Zoom
COOLPIX cameras offer ample zooming capability. They make it easy to zoom in for
tight portraits, for example, or zoom right out to capture expansive landscapes.

control over camera operation.
Rotary Multi Selector

feature, which enables users to specify the interval between shots.

screen. Small Size movie produces QVGA-size movies (320 x 240 pixels).

shake and subject movement, so you can focus on taking great pictures instead of on
shutter speed or ISO settings.

resolution data.

of consecutive images.

results as new image fi les.

fi lter, letting you change the mood of your images with a choice of Standard color,
