VR image stabilization

The Nikon COOLPIX lineup offers an array of VR technologies that produce blur-free images when shooting in low light or unsteady conditions. Selected models are equipped with Optical VR to compensate accurately for camera shake, which delivers sharp and steady images and faster framing on the LCD. In addition, some models offer Electronic VR, which applies movement data to image-processing to turn blurred images into beautifully clear results.

Better pictures in lower light

Select COOLPIX models offer higher ISO capability beyond the range of conventional digital compacts. An exciting advantage that greatly increases photographic possibilities, high ISO capability delivers excellent exposures in challenging, oftentimes low light conditions, broadening the scope of possible subjects and allowing scenes to be captured beautifully without compromising natural light.

COOLPIX in-camera technologies give you the edge when it comes to taking beautiful pictures more easily and with greater enjoyment.
