Nikon Coolpix B600
Description

Beautiful results, even in challenging light
16 megapixel low-light sensor and cutting-edge technology
With a 16 megapixel low-light sensor, Nikon’s advanced EXPEED image-processing engine and high-performance NIKKOR lens, the COOLPIX B600 takes beautiful photos and videos, even in low-light. Lens Shift VR with an effective equivalent to a shutter speed 3.0 stops* faster helps you take sharp, crisp images at any zoom range. When shooting video, 4-Axis Hybrid VR (lens shift VR + electronic VR) keeps your shot steady, even if you’re moving around with the camera.
*Based on CIPA Standards. Measured at approx. 350mm (35mm-format equivalent).

Technology
-
VR image stabilization
A Nikon technology that improves image stability by automatically compensating for camera shake. -
ISO 6400
Maximum high ISO available on the camera is 6400 ISO. -
CMOS
Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor, one of the two main types of image sensors used in digital cameras. The Nikon COOLPIX CMOS image sensor with a backside illumination structure increases the amount of light that each pixel receives. The resulting improvement in noise and sensitivity reduction makes the select COOLPIX cameras more capable when shooting night scenes or in dark indoor situations. -
Smart Portrait System
Nikon’s Smart Portrait System incorporates into COOLPIX cameras a series of automatic functions, including In-Camera Red-Eye Fix™, Improved Face-Priority AF, Face Priority AE, Smile Mode, Blink Warning, Skin Softening and D-Lighting. -
Scene Auto Selector / Easy Auto Mode
Nikon COOLPIX cameras are so smart they know what kind of picture you’re taking and can automatically select from six commonly used scene modes, eliminating the mode-setting procedure and streamlining the shooting process. -
Target Finding AF
Select COOLPIX digital cameras utilize the Target Finding AF feature which instantaneously assesses the intended subject and automatically adjusts the AF area according to its size to assure clearly focused images. -
Subject Tracking
COOLPIX cameras and select D-SLRs in Live View mode, maintain focus on a moving subject using a contrast detection system, which is based on the principle that objects in a scene that are in focus display the highest contrast. -
Full HD
Full HD video offers a resolution of 1080p, with an aspect ratio of 16:9. -
Wi-Fi
Refers to wireless technology and wireless communication. In photography, it’s most commonly the wireless transmission of images directly from a camera to a computer in order to achieve a swifter workflow. -
Dynamic Fine Zoom
Dynamic Fine Zoom is a new feature available on select Nikon COOLPIX digital cameras that extends the zoom range electronically 2x with minimal image degradation.

1. All measurements are performed in conformity with Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) standards or guidelines. *1 Battery life does not reflect the use of SnapBridge and may vary with the conditions of use, including temperature, the interval between shots, and the length of time that menus and images are displayed. *2 Individual movie files cannot exceed 29 minutes in length, even when there is sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording. The maximum size of a single movie file is 4 GB. If a file exceeds 4 GB even when you record for less than 29 minutes, recording ends.
