Nikon COOLPIX S1 Feature Highlights

A new series of COOLPIX
The COOLPIX S1 is the first in a new series of COOLPIX cameras. It places a strong emphasis on the camera body combining portability with the ultimate in style. Indeed "style" is what the "S" in "S1" stands for.

Stylish design
The COOLPIX S1 has a sleek aluminum finish that gives it a look of real sophistication, while its super slim dimensions achieved through the advanced electronic engineering of a totally new "right-angle" optics system make it both pleasing to the eye and highly comfortable in the hand. The elegant COOLPIX S1 also features a significantly enlarged TFT LCD monitor. Measuring 2.5 inches across and delivering the clarity of 110,000 dots, it makes it easy to compose shots and view recorded images. The COOLPIX logo has also been recreated to be more slender with gentle curves that complement the smooth lines of the camera body, and the COOLPIX S1 is available in a choice of Pure Silver, Ebony Black and Ivory White* to suit the user's individual sense of style.

Greater energy efficiency for longer battery life
The COOLPIX S1 has been specially designed for low power consumption that enables batteries to last longer, so users can spend more time shooting and less time recharging. In fact, the COOLPIX S1 can take up to an impressive 200 shots using a single EN-EL8 Rechargeable battery.

Swift response
As a direct result of Nikon's engineering expertise, the COOLPIX S1 has been created to deliver more satisfying, responsive performance. Not only is the COOLPIX S1 quicker to start up than many other compact digital cameras in its class, but it also offers swift continuous shooting at a rate of up to 1.8 frames per second.

In-camera image improvement
The COOLPIX S1 makes it easy for virtually anyone to achieve pleasing results. With 5.1 effective megapixels and a 35-105mm 3x Zoom-Nikkor ED lens (35mm equivalent), the COOLPIX S1 captures scenes with clarity and faithful color. Furthermore, it also features a clever set of features with the power to actually improve images in-camera. The In-Camera Red-Eye Fix function automatically detects the annoying red eye effect caused by flash and then corrects it automatically in-camera to produce pleasing night portraits. Nikon's impressive D-Lighting function automatically compensates for excessive back light or insufficient flash - keeping brighter parts of images as they are while adding light and detail to darker areas. The COOLPIX S1 also features the new Face-priority AF function, which cleverly detects human faces in the frame, then provides optimal focus on them for sharp, satisfying results. The COOLPIX S1 even features a handy Blur Warning function too, which alerts the user of images compromised by camera shake, so they can recompose and shoot again before leaving the scene.
