[. . . ] As a result, images are significantly improved in a manner that is much more natural-looking. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix COOLPIX cameras offer refined red-eye reduction capability that surpasses other digital compacts. First, a series of preflashes stimulate the subject's pupils, causing them to constrict. The camera then analyzes the captured image for the remaining presence of red eyes, automatically correcting them in-camera before saving the image to memory. Without D-Lighting With D-Lighting Pictmotion - In-camera slideshow with music So much more than a slideshow, Pictmotion lets users share the fun of photography in a more creative, more entertaining way. Users simply select a range of their favorite images and movies, pick a visual style and choose from up to five pre-installed soundtracks or load up to ten new ones to suit the mood*. [. . . ] See total megapixel resolution. Active Zoom Unlike digital zooms which enlarge image data, active zoom crops the image from the maximum image size, thus minimizing image deterioration and delivering high-resolution data. Anti-reflection coating (LCD) Anti-reflection coating on the LCD monitor improves visibility and makes menus a greater pleasure to work with, even outdoors in the sunshine. Time-lapse Movie Time-lapse Movie mode creates silent movies from still images that you've shot at the interval of your choosing using the Time-lapse feature. Ideal for capturing action taking place over longer durations, it can be used, for example, to produce movies of flowers blooming, or clouds rushing across the sky. Blink warning Blink warning notifies you when a subject blinks during exposure, and allows you to immediately retake the shot. Pastel mode Enabled before shooting, Pastel mode creates a soft, impressionistic image similar to a watercolor painting. Total megapixel resolution Not all pixels record a part of the image. Some are purposely masked off to receive no light, producing a reference value from which to calibrate light received by the effective pixels. The number of masked-off pixels plus the number of effective pixels equals the total number of pixels. See effective megapixel resolution. Distortion control Corrects for barrel distortion occurring in wide-angle images and even displays the corrected image on the LCD in real time. Wide-viewing angle (LCD) LCD monitors with wider viewing angles enhance shooting versatility, while also making it easy for all to gather round and view images or slideshows.
