The COOLPIX L26 — Focusing on the important things in life.
16 MP: the 16-megapixel CCD image sensor lets you capture outstandingly detailed images, make creative image crops and produce superb poster-size enlargements.
Easy operation: enjoy effortless shooting with easy-to-reach control buttons and Easy Auto mode, which optimizes all settings according to the light you are shooting in.
NIKKOR wide-angle 5x optical zoom lens (26–130mm): from group shots to close-ups, this lens offers superb precision and sharp resolution, so you can capture moments with ease.
Crisp 720p video recording: record moments in motion at the touch of a button. A dedicated movie-record button makes it easy to begin filming the action.
e-VR (vibration reduction): capture steady photos and movies thanks to Nikon’s automatic vibration reduction technology, which counters the effects of camera shake.
7.5 cm (3.0-in.) LCD screen: the large LCD monitor with wide viewing angle offers clear shooting and playback.
Anti-blur: enjoy clear images with automatic technology that counters image blur. High ISO (up to 1600) light sensitivity for sharper images in low light. Motion detection compensates for camera and subject movement. Best shot selector (BSS) selects the sharpest of up to ten sequential shots.
Smart Portrait System: snap perfect portraits every time. Smile timer takes the shot when your subject smiles. Blink proof alerts you when someone’s eyes were closed. Skin softening adjusts uneven skin tones for smoother-looking skin. Red-eye Fix corrects false eye color due to the flash.
AA-size batteries: your camera is powered by two AA-size batteries, which are readily available across the world.
18 scene modes: scene modes automatically optimize the camera settings for popular photographic styles, effects and locations. Achieve great shots just by selecting the mode that matches your situation.
EXPEED C2 image processing system provides enhanced movie recording, high-sensitivity performance and maximum image quality.
