Featuring a far-reaching NIKKOR lens with 22x optical zoom covering from wide-angle 25 mm to super-telephoto 550 mm*, this very slim, sleek camera packs all the performance you need to look forward to your next eye-opening journey. The imaging power of 18.1 effective megapixels achieved with the Backside illumination CMOS image sensor and combination of lens shift and electronic VR (Vibration Reduction) are brilliantly matched for capturing magnificent open landscapes as well as for zooming way in for super-telephoto shots beautifully, even under dim or dark conditions. This comprehensive capability comes together in a compact form that fits so comfortably in your hand that you can easily take it along to enjoy anywhere, without a care.
The large 7.5 cm/3-in., high-definition OLED monitor reproduces outstanding detail with the help of advanced technology that realizes superior contrast, truer blacks and clearer colors. The camera`s operability is also optimized for comfort at all times, in every aspect of overall function, right down to the user-friendly design of the menu operation.
Not only does a built-in GPS chip record location data for each shot – it can also keep track of where you are even when you`re not taking pictures. An onboard database of approximately 1.86 million POI (Points of Interest) lets you check and record the name of your shooting location. Moreover, an Electronic compass function displays the camera`s orientation when shooting and records the location, for handy reference when the image is viewed afterwards on a PC.
A new Quick effects function streamlines application of an effect of your choice. Toy camera effect, High-contrast monochrome and other effects make it easy for you to explore your creative options.
