21 Sep 08 NIKON PRESENTS FIVE NEW COOLPIX CAMERAS
Nikon’s New COOLPIX Digital Cameras Developed with Consumer’s Digital Photography Needs in Mind
MELVILLE, NY (August 24, 2006) - Consumers stand in front of a digital camera counter telling themselves they want an easy to use camera that takes great pictures. Nikon today unveiled two new “L” or Life series cameras and three new “S” or Style series cameras with the consumer’s picture taking needs in mind. These new cameras incorporate existing Nikon technologies that have excited so many new digital camera users and added additional useful features to enhance the overall photography experience.
“Developed with the consumer in mind, Nikon has combined exceptional features with world-renowned quality design and style at attractive prices,” says Bill Giordano, General Manager Marketing, COOLPIX for Nikon, Inc. “From entry-level to advanced technologies, our designers and engineers have done an outstanding job of adopting design styles and intuitive technology that directly address what the consumer asks for - a camera that looks great and performs just as well.”
Every camera in the COOLPIX family is equipped with Nikon’s In-camera Image Innovations to fix common photo problems. This system includes Face-priority AF*, which automatically finds and focuses on a subject’s face, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, which automatically corrects red-eye, and D-Lighting, an innovation that automatically corrects images with insufficient light. The cameras are also equipped with Blur Warning, which alerts the user when an image is blurred, and Best Shot Selector, a feature which automatically identifies and saves the sharpest image from a series.
In addition, every new COOLPIX camera features TV Quality Move Mode** (recording movies at up to 30 fps with sound), Noise Reduction - to produce better results during low-light conditions; a broad choice of White Balance selections and a convenient Help Button, which is never further than a push of a button away, giving easy-to-understand explanations for all functions throughout the menu.
Memories Made Easy with Nikon’s COOLPIX L5
Continuing the Life series digital cameras, Nikon has introduced the COOLPIX L5 which combines high-quality features like a 5x Zoom-Nikkor glass lens, an incredible, bright 2.5 inch LCD and same advanced Lens Shift Vibration Reduction (VR) found in many Nikon DSLR lens systems. Lens shift VR technology allows the user to make the most of the 5x zoom. Adding to the convenience are three unique Nikon image innovations accessible via a One-Touch portrait button, which activates Face-priority AF, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix and D-Lighting. The L5 runs on two AA-batteries which power this 7.2 effective megapixel camera and is compatible with the widely available SD memory card.
Nikon’s COOLPIX L6 Keeps Memories Going and Going
Nikon’s L6 digital camera adds powerful imaging performance, easy operation and outstanding battery life that allows the user to shoot with greater confidence for better-looking results. The L6 boasts 6.0 effective megapixels and a 3x Zoom-Nikkor glass lens, making it a cinch to capture everything from pleasing portraits to expansive landscapes with true-to-life color and fine detail. The L6 can take an unprecedented 1,000 pictures on a single set of the included Energizer® e2® Lithium® AA batteries, the most of any camera in its class.
Highly convenient, such extended battery life is ideally suited for travel or when capturing important events, such as a wedding, where you can’t afford to run out of power.
The COOLPIX L6 offers light sensitivity beyond conventional compact digitals, with settings up to ISO 800. This means users can shoot pictures in lower light without having to use a long exposure. It also allows users to select higher shutter speeds for the capture of fast-moving subjects.
Nikon’s COOLPIX S9 Blends Stunning Design with Innovative Picture Technology
Nikon unveils new the COOLPIX S9 for style-savvy consumers who want a fashionable camera at exceptional price. The S9 blends beautiful aesthetic attributes and advanced imaging technology. The S9 is a 6.1 megapixel, easy-to-use camera in a slim, stylish body.

For ease of use, the COOLPIX S9 makes it seamless for consumers to access Nikon’s In-camera Image Innovations through a One-Touch Portrait Button, located on the top of the camera.
The COOLPIX S9 offers a Stop-Motion feature for creating fun, stop-motion animated video shorts. To use the feature, the consumer simply needs to pose an object that they want to animate, take a picture, re-position the object and photograph again. Opaque versions of previous shots are shown on the camera’s LCD to assist users when positioning and repositioning their object. Once shooting is completed, the S9 automatically creates a Quicktime™ video of the object’s movement in-camera.

The new COOLPIX S10 features an incredible 10x optical Zoom-Nikkor glass lens, Vibration Reduction (VR), 6.0 effective megapixels, a 2.5″ LCD and an innovative, compact swivel design allowing the long-zoom camera to fit into a shirt pocket.

With the advantage of Vibration Reduction (VR) capability, the COOLPIX S10 allows users to overcome camera shake to take sharper, more stable pictures in a range of shooting situations. The S10 includes a High-Sensitivity option up to an impressive ISO 800.
Furthermore, the COOLPIX S10 adds new entertainment to photography with Nikon’s Pictmotion function that lets users combine images, movies, music and visual styles for automatically produced audiovisual shows, in-camera.
