Title Version Released. Most of the exposure options are controlled through the multi-page LCD menu system, although a handful of external controls access basic features. A Mode dial on the rear panel controls the operating mode, with four preset modes Portrait, Landscape, Sports, and Night Portrait , a Scene mode for selecting from among a range of 12 other specific shooting situations, an Auto setting, and Movie and Setup modes.
The Framing Assist modes are optional in Portrait, Landscape, Sports, and Night Portrait modes, each offering a range of framing scenarios. For example, under Portrait mode, you can set up the framing for a centered single subject, a single subject off to the right or left, a close-up portrait, two subjects positioned side-by-side, and a figure shot with the camera held in portrait tall rather than landscape wide orientation. Once a specific setup is chosen, light yellow subject outlines more bold than on some recent Coolpix models appear in the LCD monitor to help you line up the shot for the best focus and exposure.
Sports mode offers enhanced options for capturing fast-paced action, such as a rapid fire mode that captures 16 tiny images in two seconds that form a single 4x4 image mosaic. The Scene position of the Mode dial provides access to 12 preset "scenes," which optimize the camera for what would normally be more difficult shooting situations.
Each scene mode sets multiple camera options shutter and aperture settings, white balance, ISO light sensitivity, etc to configure it for the specific type of subject and shooting condition chosen.
These tools make the Nikon extremely flexible in a variety of conditions, providing almost worry-free operation even for inexperienced users. Depending on the exposure mode, the Nikon Coolpix offers a moderate range of exposure options. Though no mode allows the user to control the aperture or shutter speed directly, the exposure compensation adjustment can be set in Auto mode to deal with subjects that are light or dark overall, which tend to fool automatic exposure systems.
A White Balance adjustment offers five preset modes, an Auto setting, and a Custom setting for manually determining the color balance. The Custom setting is less common on entry-level digital cameras, but extremely handy when dealing with difficult light sources. Just point the camera at a white object and use the "PRE" white balance option to tell the camera what "white" looks like under your lighting. The result will be beautiful, natural color, even under lighting that would normally give the camera fits.
The Nikon Coolpix uses a Segment Matrix metering system to determine exposure, evaluating the contrast and brightness across the frame to determine the best exposure. ISO light sensitivity is rated at 50 during normal shooting, but the Nikon automatically raises it when conditions require it. You can also access Nikon's Best Shot Selector mode, which automatically chooses the least blurry image in a series shot while the Shutter button was held down. The Best Shot Selector feature is one of my all-time favorite digital camera features, as it makes it possible to hand hold even very long exposures by playing the odds that during one of those moments you're going to be still enough to get a sharp image.
The Nikon Coolpix 's built-in flash is rated as effective to approximately one to In our own testing, we found that subjects as far away as feet were acceptably bright, but the "cheats" a little bit to get that range, boosting its ISO and as a result producing rather noisy images at distances beyond 8 feet or so.
An option in many modes, Slow Sync combines the flash with slower shutter speeds, letting more of the ambient light into the exposure, making for brighter, more natural-looking night shots.
In some Assist and Scene modes though, the flash mode is automatically set for you. Flash is also not available in Sports or Landscape modes. Other camera features include a Self-Timer mode, which provides a second delay between the time the Shutter button is pressed and when the image is actually captured. A Continuous Shooting mode captures a rapid series of images while the Shutter button is held down, with the actual number of images dependent on the size and quality settings, as well as the amount of memory card space.
There's also a Multi-Shot 16 mode, which captures 16 thumbnail images in sequence, arranged in rows of four within a full-sized image. The actual length of recording time depends only on the amount of available SD card space, as there is no arbitrary limit set by buffer capacity.
The available recording time is displayed on the LCD monitor. The Nikon Coolpix stores images on SD memory cards, but the standard retail package in the US includes no memory card.
There is enough onboard memory, however, to hold up to five pictures at maximum image size and quality. Files saved to internal memory can be easily copied to an SD card, and vice versa. Given the camera's large 2, x 1,pixel maximum image size, I recommend picking up at least a MB memory card so you don't miss any important shots. Images are saved in JPEG format, with three compression levels available for.
Nikon PictureProject provides organization and image editing tools for enhancing images. PanoramaMaker does exactly what it says, turning series of shots captured with the 's Panorama Assist mode into big panoramic images.
VideoImpression lets you combined images and video clips into multimedia presentations, with overlaid music or other soundtrack. The Nikon comes with two AA alkaline batteries, but I highly recommend picking up a set of rechargeable batteries and a charger.
Read my NiMH battery shootout page to see which batteries currently on the market are the best, and see my review of the Maha CW NiMH battery charger , my current favorite. The optional AC adapter uses a "dummy battery" that slides into the battery compartment. This could be useful for offloading pictures after a long day of shooting, but really shouldn't be necessary for the vast majority of users.
Also included with the Coolpix is a video cable for connecting to a television set for slide shows, and a USB cable for downloading images to a computer. Recommendation As one of the smallest Coolpix models in the line and one of the smaller digicams on the market , the Nikon is a combination of a fine Nikkor 3x optical zoom lens, a 5.
Automatic exposure control lets the camera take charge of all the picky details, although a handful of exposure options provides some measure of creative control.
With its diminutive dimensions, the Coolpix is great for travel, and the range of preset shooting and framing modes anticipates most common shooting conditions. The 2, x 2,pixel maximum resolution is high enough for making sharp 11xinch photographic prints or sharp 8x10 prints with fairly heavy cropping , while the x pixel resolution setting is perfect for sending email attachments over the Internet.
The uncomplicated user interface means you won't spend much time learning the camera. Perfect for novice users or anyone looking for a point-and-shoot camera with a slick look, great ease of use, and sharp, colorful photos, the Coolpix could also serve as a great take-anywhere snapshot camera for more advanced shooters. Slim, trim, and super-tiny, the Nikon Coolpix is among the smaller Coolpix models available it's not much taller than a credit card.
Though the camera body has a few protrusions, they're slight enough to avoid catching on pockets, especially when combined with the smooth contours that define the camera. Though the camera actually fit my hand surprisingly well given its tiny dimensions, I highly recommend making use of the included wrist strap. The Nikon 's matte-silver body glimmers with shiny silver highlights for a fun look. High quality Nikkor optics and a 5. The Coolpix measures 3.
The camera's front panel contains the 3x zoom lens, built-in flash, optical viewfinder window, and the self-timer lamp that ticks off the seconds as the self-timer counts down. A shutter-like lens cover protects the lens when not in use, and automatically slides out of the way when the camera is powered on eliminating the hassle of keeping track of a lens cap. When powered on, the lens telescopes out into its operating position. A slight bulge beneath the Shutter button courtesy of the battery compartment comfortably aligns your fingers as they wrap around the camera, with a sharper ridge just beyond it to act as a grip, catching your fingers.
On the right side of the camera is the Secure Digital SD memory card compartment and an eyelet for attaching the wrist strap. The hinged SD card compartment door opens with a pull toward the back of the camera, and opens wide enough to grasp the card. The card releases with an initial inward press. Also visible from this side is the tiny plastic door that slides up out of the way to make room for the cord when using the optional AC adapter pack. On the opposite side of the camera is the connector compartment, protected by a rubbery cover that remains attached to the camera.
Just above the compartment are seven holes for the camera's speaker. The remaining external controls are all located on the camera's rear panel, along with the 1. Two LEDs next to the optical viewfinder light or flash to indicate camera status, such as when focus is set, the flash is charging, or the camera is accessing the memory card.
To the right of the optical viewfinder is the Mode dial, which sets the main operating mode. This thread is locked.
