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. -
Clear Color Display
This innovative technology improves screen visibility for a more vivid, clear image when taking and sharing pictures. Reflections are minimized while contrast and power savings are improved. (In select COOLPIX models). -
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. -
Rugged Reliability
Rugged Reliability describes Nikon COOLPIX digital cameras that are waterproof and shockproof. Check your manual to see exactly what waterproof or shockproof designations your camera has. -
Built-in World Map
A scene mode available on select Nikon digital cameras that lets you view maps that are built-into the camera’s memory. -
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. -
GPS
Global Positioning System, in which the receiver calculates its position on the earth by timing signals received from GPS satellites. -
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 When the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), movies with the size/frame rate set to 2160/30p (4K UHD), 2160/25p (4K UHD), 1080/60p, 1080/50p, HS 480/4x, or HS 1080/0.5x cannot be recorded. *2 Battery life does not reflect the use of SnapBridge and the LED light 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. *3 Individual movie files cannot exceed 4 GB in size or 29 minutes in length. When Movie options is set to 1080/30p, it cannot exceed 27 minutes in length. Recording may end before this limit is reached if camera temperature becomes elevated. *4 Dropped from a height of 240 cm (7 ft 10 in.) onto a surface of 5 cm (2 in.) thick plywood (changes in appearance, such as paint peeling off and deformation of the drop shock portion and waterproof performance are not subject to the test). These tests do not guarantee that the camera will be free from damage or trouble under all conditions. *5 A plug adapter is included if the camera was purchased in a country or region that requires a plug adapter. The shape of the plug adapter varies with the country or region of purchase. *6 The EH-73PCH Charging AC Adapter may be included instead of the EH-73P, depending on the country or region where you purchased the camera. *7 The brush is used for cleaning the waterproof packing.
