Worried about using the right settings? Let your camera help you! Choose the type of scene you’re shooting and settings are automatically optimised for the perfect shot.

TARGET FINDING AF
The fast and precise autofocus makes shooting clear images easy by automatically identifying and focusing on any subject – ideal for images of children and pets.

6.7-cm/2.7-in LCD screen: You’ll find it easy to frame your shots on the large LCD screen, and with brightness adjustment you can clearly see what you’re shooting or playing back, even in bright sunlight.

Scene auto selector: When you prefer to leave the choice of settings to the camera, it can help you by automatically selecting from a range of typical shooting scenarios and optimising all the settings for you.

Long battery life: As your camera’s rechargeable Li-ion battery has extra-long life, you can keep shooting to capture the fun at parties or take family holiday shots all day long.

EXPEED C2: Nikon’s fast and powerful image processing system ensures you’ll always get high-speed operation, high sensitivity performance and outstanding image quality.

8 special effects: Get creative by experimenting with different effects to give your photos an individual look. Try Selective Color, which puts a pop of your chosen colour on a black and white image for dramatic effect or use Fisheye for a wide-angle effect.

12 Glamour retouch effects: Everyone can look glamorous all the time when your photos can be retouched so easily. You can soften skin, add lip colour or even add eye makeup and mascara.

Motion blur reduction: Blurry photos are a thing of the past. Motion Blur Reduction compensates for camera shake and subject movement to ensure you get clear shots, even with fast-moving subjects like children.

Smart portrait system: You’ll always get great results with this mode correcting portrait problems as they happen. Smile timer takes the shot when your subject smiles, Blink proof lets you know if someone’s eyes were closed and Red-eye correction corrects false eye colour due to flash.

Smile timer continuous mode: Want to capture the perfect smile? This mode automatically recognises when your subject smiles and takes up to five shots with continuous shooting, so you’ll capture the exact moment of the most charming smile.

Advanced Auto with Red-eye reduction: Never have a group shot or portrait ruined by red-eye again. Automatic in-camera correction banishes red-eye and automatically activates when you’re shooting in Night Portrait mode.
