ELEGANT AND COMPACT BODY

Slender styling brings elegance, and with a depth of approximately 20.1 mm and a weight of around 119 g, you’ll enjoy a compact camera body that will slip easily into a pocket or handbag so you can carry it anywhere, any time. Available in a range of bright, stylish colours, this is the camera that looks good, fits your lifestyle perfectly, and takes beautiful high-resolution photos and movies.

SnapBridge

SnapBridge maintains a constant, low-power connection between your camera and your smartphone or tablet to give you easy control over your photographic life. Now you can sync shots to your smart device while you shoot, and share Nikon-quality images in an instant. You can also control key camera functions via your phone, keep your camera on time and up-to-date, and more.

20.1 MEGAPIXEL CCD IMAGE SENSOR

The high megapixel count packed into a compact body means your camera has great light performance capability in its image sensor, so you’ll get clear shots even in low light conditions – and always produce high-resolution images that will make great photo enlargements.

NIKKOR 8X OPTICAL ZOOM LENS

A world of possibilities opens up when you have quality NIKKOR optics in an 8x zoom that’s extendable to 16x Dynamic Fine Zoom¹, offering a wide-angle 25mm to 200mm angle of view (equivalent 35mm format). You can capture fun facial expressions up close, get all your friends into a group shot, record every aspect of family celebrations, or shoot unique details while travelling.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE VIBRATION REDUCTION (VR)

With High-performance VR effectively reducing camera shake for greater stability, sharp shots are guaranteed even at full zoom. When you’re taking stills, Lens-shift VR provides an effect equivalent to a shutter speed 3.0 stops faster (based on CIPA standards, at the maximum telephoto position).

EASY OPERATION

Let your camera do the work for you with automatic functions that make shooting simple, like Scene auto selector, Target finding AF and Panorama assist. Scene auto selector will automatically choose the ideal mode for your shooting conditions and optimise the camera settings for you. Target finding AF detects your subject automatically to achieve focus rapidly, so you can start shooting immediately. Panorama assist helps you to record stunning travel scenes as panoramas with ease.

6.7-CM/2.7-IN 230K-DOT LCD MONITOR

View your subjects and scenes clearly on the LCD screen, making it simple to frame your shots for both stills and movies. You’ll always have crystal clear visibility even in bright sunlight, thanks to an anti-reflection coating and brightness adjustment that can be modified through 5 levels.

LONG BATTERY LIFE

When you’re travelling or out capturing the fun of family celebrations, having a long battery life is vital to ensure you never miss a memorable moment. Keep shooting when it matters most with approximately 240 shots per charge.

PERFECT PORTRAITS MADE SIMPLE

Flattering portraits are automatic when you use Smart portrait mode during shooting. Blink proof alerts you if your subject blinks while you’re taking your photo, and Smile timer automatically takes the shot when it recognises that your subject is smiling. Apply Glamour retouch enhancements after shooting to soften skin tones and add make-up effects like Eye shadow, Mascara and Lipstick. Have fun with Self-collage, where your camera captures a series of four or nine images at intervals and saves them as a single collage photo. All the images used in Self-collage are also saved as individual shots too.

Special effects and Quick effects

It’s easy to enhance your photos with Special effects as you shoot, like Mirror effect that shows your subject and their mirror image in a single shot, Selective Color adding a pop of vivid colour to a monochrome image, or Nostalgic sepia creating photos with a retro look. Give shots a completely different look instantly in playback with Quick effects like Painting or Fisheye or adjust the tone with Cross screen to add a starbust effect to light sources in your images.
