Zoom-Nikkor lens with three aspherical lens elements and a focal range
of 7.1–21.4 mm (equivalent to 28–85 mm in 35-mm [135] format). Large-
diameter aspherical lens reduces image distortion to a bare minimum.
• An adjustable monitor that folds out and swivels to allow photographs to
be framed with the camera held at arms length, or folds back onto the
camera body to make a compact package. The monitor can even be swiv-
elled to point in the same direction as the lens for a quick self-portrait.
• A microphone and speaker for recording and playback of up to sixty sec-
onds of video footage with sound.
