Take your next photo op to the mat
Okay, nobody needs to get hurt here. Nevertheless, the point is that even though the COOLPIX S3000 is, literally, a lightweight, it packs one powerful punch when it comes to image and print quality. The swing starts off low with a 4x NIKKOR glass lens, laying out a zoom range from wide-angle 27mm to telephoto 108mm. It follows through with the incredibly bright 2.7" high definition TFT LCD screen with an anti-glare coating, so you'll never miss a perfect shot due to poor composition functionality. And with 12MP capacity, you'll be able to create knock-out prints as large as 16 x 20 inches. Nicely done Nikon.
The stability you've been craving
No one alive has a perfectly steady hand. Usually, the minute movements of our hands aren't an issue. But sometimes, like when trying to capture low light moments, even the slightest twitch of a finger can ruin an otherwise perfect shot. To make sure you capture those shots, the Nikon COOLPIX S3000 is equipped with a 4-way VR image stabilization system. This system includes electronic vibration reduction, so that your minor movements don't result in a blurred print. But the camera's movement isn't the only potential cause of blur in your shots. Motion in front of the lens can also lead to unclear results; henceforth, the S3000 detects motion and adjusts the shutter speed and ISO setting accordingly (up to 3200) so that you get a clear picture no matter how fast the action is.
Let's face it
Nothing says I love you like an out-of-focus, red-eyed reproduction. Getting good shots of your loved ones is essential; if you take a poor pic of your sweetheart, next thing you know, she's untagging herself from the picture when you put it on Facebook. (And you know where that could lead.) So Nikon wants to help you get good people pictures. Their COOLPIX S3000 camera is equipped with the Smart Portrait System to help you get top-quality photos of human subjects. For starters, Face-Priority AF locates the faces in your picture and adjusts the focus so that those faces come out looking as great as they do in real life. If that doesn't do it, the Smart Portrait Mode ensures that you always capture the picture while the subject is smiling and not blinking. In case your subject's eyelids are super stealthy, the blink warning function alerts you to a potential blink situation, giving you the opportunity to take a second shot. There is also the ingenious skin softening function and the In-Camera Red-Eye Fix™ that automatically reduce the I haven't slept in nine years effect. So get with the COOLPIX program, my friend, and avoid the untag at all costs.
