The compact design, advanced functionality and user friendly features of the COOLPIX L5 let virtually any user shoot with confidence and show with pride. Its generous 7.2 megapixels and 5x Zoom-Nikkor lens mean sharp, detailed images and the advanced Vibration Reduction (VR) feature lets you capture action that is steady whether you are shooting stills or recording movies. Originally developed for Nikon SLR systems, VR detects and corrects camera movement that might otherwise result in blurry images, lets you shoot sharper images in low light, and provides even faster framing on the 2.5 inch LCD monitor. The One-touch portrait button provides a shortcut to three unique Nikon innovations, making it easier than ever before to achieve great looking results. The mere touch of a button gives instant access to Face-priority AF and In-Camera Red-Eye Fix for optimized image capture, and to the powerful D-Lighting function, which lets you perfect image exposure after capture.
