NIKKOR 14x wide-angle optical zoom lens (25–350mm): enjoy superior sharpness and color in all your photos and movies thanks to Nikon’s advanced lens technologies.
Back-illuminated 16-MP CMOS sensor: this highly sensitive image sensor increases the light each pixel receives to deliver clear images in any light.
19 Scene Modes: capture great photos just by selecting the mode that matches your shooting situation. Or shoot in Easy Auto Mode and let Scene Auto Selector choose the optimum scene mode for you.
Easy Auto Mode with Intelligent AF Control System: the camera automatically selects the best focus method for sharp results whatever your subject is, and wherever it’s positioned in the frame.
Full HD (1080p) movie recording: record the action in stereo sound. A video-button makes it easy to start.
7.5 cm (3.0-in.) 460k-dot LCD screen: have fun shooting photos and movies indoors or out thanks to the clear LCD monitor with wide viewing angle, anti-reflection coating, and brightness adjustment.
Lens-Shift VR (vibration reduction): capture steady photos and movies thanks to Nikon’s automatic vibration reduction technology, which counters the effects of camera shake in real time.
Anti-blur. High ISO (up to 3200) light sensitivity for sharper images in low light. Motion detection compensates for camera and subject movement. Night Landscape mode captures sharp images in low light.
Retouch menu: enhance your photos in-camera with a range of filters and effects. Includes options such as Selective Color, which converts your image to monochrome and adds a splash of color according to your choice, and Cross Screen, which lends a starry effect to bright objects.
Macro mode: take great close-ups in macro mode. Focuses from infinity to as close as 1 cm.
Easy Panorama 360°/180°: move the camera vertically or horizontally to create dynamic panoramas.
3D shooting mode: create a 3D image that can be played back on 3D-capable TVs and computers.
AA-size batteries: your camera is powered by two AA-size batteries, which are readily available across the world.
EXPEED C2 image processing system provides enhanced movie recording, high-sensitivity performance, and maximum image quality.
Wireless transfer: compatible with Eye-Fi X2 (or later) cards. Transmit your digital photos (in JPEG format) directly to your phone or personal computer, and then connect to the Internet to take advantage of Nikon’s photo-sharing service, my Picturetown.
