The COOLPIX L16

Nikon have announced the introduction of the COOLPIX L16 , a quality compact digital camera that combines high performance with operating ease.

The COOLPIX L16 offers simple operational functionality and is equipped with Nikon’s innovative EXPEED digital image processing concept and a NIKKOR lens. Dedicated buttons on the top of the body make it easy to switch between shooting and playback modes.

The large 2.8-inch LCD monitor offers a bright image that is a pleasure to view, even outdoors. The intuitive design assures a solid grip with a balance of flowing surfaces contrasted by sharp edge lines.

The COOLPIX L16 makes full use of its 7.1 effective megapixels, capturing true-to-life colour and gives users the freedom to crop or produce enlargements.

The precision optics of a 3x Zoom-NIKKOR lens covers a practical range from 35-105mm (35mm format equivalent) to capture everything from group shots to close-up portraits. Extended light sensitivity as high as ISO 1600 prevents blurred shots in lower light, or when capturing fast-moving subjects.

The COOLPIX L16 features Easy Auto mode where users can turn on the camera and shoot without worrying about getting the settings right. Automatically enabled D-Lighting and Anti-shake AE compensate for lighting and camera movement, enabling users to shoot great pictures without difficult operation.

The COOLPIX L16 also features a selection of three innovative functions that improves the quality of images within the camera. Face-priority AF automatically finds, then focuses on people’s faces for crisp, clear results time after time. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically compensates to help eradicate traces of the annoying red-eye effect that can sometimes be encountered during flash photography. D-Lighting can be applied to improve underexposed images or shots taken with too much backlight by automatically creating a copy of the image with detail added where necessary, but with well-exposed areas left completely untouched.

Other Nikon COOLPIX L16 features:

• Light weight with highly compact dimensions
• Face Zoom-in zooms right in on the subject’s face at playback
• Macro shooting from as close as 15 cm (5.9 in.)
• 4x digital zoom extends compositional freedom
• Time zone function for easy setting of multiple locations
• Approx. 21 MB of internal memory
• USB connectivity
• PictBridge support
