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.
Vibration Reduction (VR)
Refer to page 4.

control over camera operation.
Rotary Multi Selector
The Rotary Multi Selector simplifi es operation, speeds the selection of functions, and
allows image scrolling at up to 10 shots per second.
Wide-viewing angle (LCD)
LCD monitors with wider viewing angles enhance shooting versatility, while also
making it easy for all to gather round and view images or slideshows.

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

of consecutive images.
