What are the features and how will they benefit you? |
|
Vibration Reduction – optical image stabilisation helps eliminate blur due to shaky hands, which is very important at full zoom (a small movement of the hand can cause a lot of movement at the other end). High ISO up to 3200 - this will help you take better photos in low lighting or when shooting fast-moving subjects. Auto ISO adjusts sensitivity automatically depending on your situation. 28mm Wide Zoom Lens – Fit more in the picture with a wide zoom lens. Great for group shots, landscapes, architecture - any situation where you need to capture more breadth and depth in your photos. Face Priority AF - focuses on faces rather than other picture elements that might be in the foreground or background. Red Eye Correction - this camera lets you fix red eyes in the camera, which is great if you're printing straight to a pictbridge compatible printer. D-Lighting – in playback mode, this automatically lightens dark, shadowy regions of your images. Macro mode - take stunning close-ups as near as 3cm away from subject |

Built on a custom application of Nikon's innovative EXPEED digital image processing concept and incorporating the precision optics of a NIKKOR lens, the COOLPIX S600 is a powerful photographic tool that offers the added pleasure of sophisticated design and go-anywhere, shoot-anytime fun.
The COOLPIX S600 teams 10 effective megapixels of sharp resolution with ultra-swift response, and maintains image clarity even at sensitivity settings as high as ISO 3200.

Nikon COOLPIX S600 Feature Highlights
Proven lens shift VR image stabilization for sharper results
Optical lens shift VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization helps achieve sharper results by applying field proven technology originally developed for Nikon SLR camera lenses to counteract camera shake in lower light or when shooting moving subjects. Active full time, VR also stabilizes images displayed on the 2.7-inch high-resolution LCD monitor for easier framing and more reassured shooting.
ISO 3200 capability provides extended shooting range
Extended light sensitivity range with manual settings up to ISO 3200 adds the power to shoot more effectively in lower lighting conditions, or to capture moving subjects with outstanding clarity. Automatic sensitivity control is also available, freeing you to concentrate on the shot while the camera selects the optimal setting across a range between ISO 100 and ISO 800.
Large 2.7-inch LCD monitor for quality viewing and easier menu operation
Practically defying the COOLPIX S600’s compact body proportions is a high quality 2.7-inch LCD monitor with improved shooting displays and revised icons. Features include approx. 230k-dots of high resolution and a wide 160-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angle.
New Active Child mode for carefree shooting with beautiful results
Active Child mode joins the line-up of 14 different scene modes and three movie modes tuned to produce the best results to match the moment. In Active Child mode, simply frame and select your subject before shooting. The camera then tracks and focuses on that moving subject as you shoot for faster, more reassuring operation with clearer results.
