Key features

7.1 megapixel resolution keeps images sharp when printing complete or just from selected areas, even in large format.

2.8-inch high-resolution LCD monitor simplifies composition and playback.

High ISO (1600) light sensitivity reduces the risk of blurred images with fast-moving subjects or in low-light.

Active Zoom for high-resolution close-up images.

Anti-shake Auto Exposure (AE) automatically compensates for camera shake when subject movement is detected.

Easy Auto mode: simply turn the camera on and shoot without worrying about camera settings.

Dedicated Shooting and Playback mode buttons on top of the camera body for simple operation and easy access.

Face Zoom lets you flick through the faces in full-frame without having to scroll.

Three unique Nikon image innovations: Face-priority autofocus focuses on faces, not backgrounds; D-Lighting creates pleasing results by correcting strong shadows; and In-camera Red-eye Fix corrects false eye color due to flash.
