common situations. Select the icon best matching the scene and let the

pictures more in tune with your tastes.
Scene modes with Scene assist
Scene assist helps you take better pictures when
using Portrait, Landscape, Sports and Night
Landscape Scene modes — helping you compose
your pictures with useful framing guides displayed in
the monitor.
Effective Megapixels
The effective megapixel count is the number of pixels that ac tually makes
up the image captured by a digital camera. I mages recorded with more
effective megapixels will therefore contain a larger amount of image
information, resulting in higher-level sharpness. See Total Megapixels.
Tota l Meg api xel s
Not all pixels record a part of the image. Some are purposely masked off
to receive no light, producing a b aseline value from which to c alibrate light
received by the effective pixels. The number of masked-off pixels plus
the number of effective pixels equals the number of total megapixels. See
Effective Megapixels.
Nikkor Lenses
Highly respected by leading professional ph otographers, Nikko r lenses are
renowned for their outstanding autofocus performance, true-to-life color,
high contrast and exceptional sharpness .
Nikkor ED Glass
Lenses made of Super ED glass achieve sharper, clearer images. They
are also more resilient than conventional lenses and offer more consistent
optical performance.
Vibration Reduction (VR)
Refer to page 4.
Electronic Vibration Reduction (Electronic VR)
Electronic VR detects and compensates for minor camera movement
in-camera, adding greater stability during movie recording.
High-quality Zoom
COOLPIX cameras offer ample zooming capability, with performance
extending to 10x zoom with the COOLPIX S4. As a result, they ma ke it easy
to zoom in for tight portraits, for example, or zoom right out to capture
expansive landscapes.
Internal Memory

even when you’re not carrying any memory media. It also makes it easy
to transfer images betwee n memory media as you please.
Direct Printing (PictBridge)

transfer each image to computer as soon as it’s taken,
or send images direct to a compatible printer — all
without the need for wires and cables.
Continuous Shooting
Swift continuous shooting capability lets you take a series of pictures in quick
succession, making it easy to capture action as it happen s.

taken, making it easy to organize pictures later on.

Movie with Sound
The ability to record movies with sound lets you capture so much more
of the moment, letting you record voices along with face s, or background
noise to accompany scenery.
Time-lapse Movie
Time-lapse Movie mode creates movies out of images taken using the
Time-lapse feature, which enables users to specify the interval between
shots. Ideal for capturing action taking place over longer durations, it
can be used to produce movies of fl owers blooming, or clouds rushing
across the sky, for example.
TV/Small Size Movie
TV movie mode records VGA-size images (640 x 480 pixels) that fi t
perfectly on a TV screen. Small movie produces QVGA- size movies ( 320
x 240 pixels).
