No matter where you snap your photos — parks, parties or the great outdoors — you do so in hopes of capturing every detail of an important memory. How does capturing eight million details of every memory sound? The 2.33" CCD image sensor on your new COOLPIX L18 records eight megapixels (a.k.a. eight million pixels) of detail in every shot you take. Not only does so high a pixel count let you enjoy true-to-life color and detail, but it also allows you to enlarge and print photos up to 16" x 20" without the risk of blurring. Enhancing the detail-capturing ability of your COOLPIX L18's image sensor are a variety of Shooting Modes, allowing you to customize each shot to shooting conditions and your needs. Choose from Portrait, Night Portrait, Sports, Landscape, Party, Beach/Snow, Sunset, Dusk/Dawn, Night Landscape, Museum, Close Up, Copy, and Back Light.
Stay focused on the shot, the moment
For all but the most experienced photographers, balancing the operation of the camera's functions and staying focused on the shot at hand can be a difficult endeavor, and the result can sometimes be photos that don't quite live up to memory. The Easy Auto Mode featured on your new COOLPIX L18 brushes this conundrum aside in the snap of a shutter. By taking control of all the camera settings for each shot you take — aperture, shutter-speed, ISO sensitivity (ISO 64-1,600) — Easy Auto Mode takes care of all the technical parts of composing that perfect shot so that you can keep your eye on the moment.
Anti-Shake AE
Sometimes the excitement of the shot gets the best of even the most veteran photographers. A hand shaking slightly with anticipation, or a quick panning shot of a moving subject can both result in a blurry shot. Well, that is unless you're shooting with the COOLPIX L18. Anti-shake AE image stabilization helps you take great pictures without the risk of blur by automatically increasing shutter speed and raising the ISO setting to compensate for camera shake and subject movement.
Easy to compose, easy to share
One of the advantages of any digital camera is the ability to compose each shot with ease and then review and share it with others on the camera's viewscreen. And of course, the larger the screen is, the better it is for composing, reviewing and sharing. Your new COOLPIX L18 is designed with a broad, 3.0" LCD viewscreen that makes composing every shot a cinch, and sharing your memories with friends even easier.
