advanced image processing technology. Features such as Nikon’s exclusive 256-segment Matrix Metering, capable of delivering optimal exposures in the most challenging lighting environments, and Matrix Auto White Balance, which neutralizes unwanted color created by various ambient light sources, allow the COOLPIX 5400 to preserve image color and tone in its original beauty and brilliance.

Macro Mode

Every detail, every nuance is captured in striking clarity.

The camera employs Nikon’s Five-Area Multi Autofocus, which allows easy selection of any of the five focus areas using the Multi selector. For professional-grade convenience, Manual focus mode is also available. The focus confirmation indication allows you to check the focus in the LCD monitor. Nikon users expect the best in focus capability, and that’s exactly what

P, S, A, M Exposure modes

The COOLPIX 5400 incorporates four exposure modes: Programmed Auto [P], Shutter-Priority Auto [S], Aperture-Priority Auto [A] and Manual [M] combine to give you the greatest degree of creative control possible.

AUTO & 15 Scene Modes

Select AUTO ( ) mode to have all camera settings performed automatically, enabling point-and-shoot operation. For optimum results in a variety of shooting situations, the 15 Scene Modes available with the COOLPIX 5400 automatically adjust the exposure, focus, flash, contrast, sensitivity, white balance and other characteristics to the appropriate values for the scene you wish to capture.

15 Scene Modes

The COOLPIX 5400, in addition to automatic measurement and neutralization of unwanted color from ambient lighting, offers six preset choices for more creative control of white bal-

ance: Daylight, Incandescent, Fluorescent,

Cloudy, Speedlight and Shade. White Balance Bracketing automatically captures images at three different white balance settings with a single release of the shutter, which is helpful when shooting a scene that is lit by a mixture of light sources, and affords you increased control when editing.

Best Shot Selector (BSS/AE-BSS)

Nikon’s exclusive Best Shot Selector (BSS) automatically selects the "sharpest" from a series of consecutive shots — most valuable during macro or telephoto shooting.
