Nikon CoolPix S4 Digital Camera
Nikon have just announced the 10x zoom Nikon CoolPix S4 Digital Camera, it packs a high megapixel count, a large LCD monitor and zoom capability into a swiveling body that allows the lens and LCD sections to move independently. The S4 is a compact camera that fits perfectlt into a shirt pocket.
Main Features Include:
The Nikon Coolpix S4 features a new interpretation of the popular and innovative swivel body design, first unveiled in the award-winning Coolpix 900 series cameras. The body design allows the lens and the 2.5-inch LCD to move independently so users can view their shot from any angle. For comfortable shooting, the Nikon S4 features a newly designed hand grip as well as conveniently placed buttons and controls.
The Nikon Coolpix S4 features 16 Scene Modes with four of them offering Scene Assist to simplify shooting in common situations. To capture moving memories the Nikon Coolpix S4 features four Movie Modes at up to 15 fps with three of the modes offering sound recording. And, the Time-Lapse movie function can capture action taking place over extended periods of time.
Additionally, the Nikon Coolpix S4 includes helpful functions such as: Best Shot Selector (BSS), Macro mode, 4x Digital Zoom, Single AF and Continuous AF and choice of White Balance. For further convenience the S4 includes 13.5 MB of internal memory and operates on two AA-size alkaline or rechargeable batteries.
In addition to a stylish package and impressive zoom, the Nikon Coolpix S4 comes packed with innovative and advanced features for beginning through advanced photographers. Using exclusive technology, Nikon has narrowed the picture- taking process down to three simple steps -- turn on the camera, frame the shot and snap the picture. To ensure a sharp portrait with the press of a button Face Priority AF ensures that faces remain in focus when shooting portraits by automatically sensing the presence of a human face within the frame and setting accurate focus accordingly. Nikon's renowned In-Camera Red- Eye Fix(TM) technology detects and corrects red eyes in most typical situations without the need to press buttons or select and highlight the eyes in playback. Without the hassle of additional software, photographers will experience less red-eye photos yielding print-ready portraits.
To help ensure a balanced exposure and sharpness, Nikon's exclusive D- Lighting function automatically compensates for insufficient flash or excessive back lighting in order to obtain balanced exposure throughout the frame. Blur Warning, another feature unique to Nikon alerts the user when a shot is compromised by camera or hand shake, allowing another shot to be taken before leaving the scene.
Bill Giordano of Nikon Says:
"The Nikon CoolPix S4 is a stylish camera that combines the power of a 10x optical zoom, distinctive body design and Nikon's exclusive in-camera technology. This model is an excellent choice for digital photographers who want creative freedom while on- the-go."
