Nikon COOLPIX L6 6.0 Megapixel Digital Camera

The Bunny Keeps You Clicking, And Clicking, And Clicking . . .

Nikon's COOLPIX L6 digital camera's powerful imaging performance, easy operation, and outstanding battery life allows you to shoot with greater confidence for better-looking results. 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. These new batteries last up to seven times longer than standard alkaline batteries, weigh one-third less, perform in extreme temperatures (-40 to 140 degrees F), and have a 15-year shelf life. More than just convenient, such extended battery life is ideally suited for travel or when capturing important events, such as a wedding, where you simply can't afford to run out of power.

No More Bad Photos

You can trust Nikon's COOLPIX L6 6.0 effective megapixels and a 3.0x (38-116mm) Zoom-Nikkor ED glass lens, to deliver crisp, clear images of whatever you choose to shoot. No more pictures that look like bad watercolor paintings. No more having to explain what the subject of the picture is. With the COOLPIX L6, your photos will speak for themselves. What they'll say is professional. Using the L6, what you'll say is easy. There are 15 specially programmed modes that automatically handle focus, exposure, white balance, and other adjustments to help you take great photos of a variety of activities at the press of a button. Popular options include Portrait, Landscape, and Sports modes--all of which offer Scene Assist technology to help you compose your pictures using the framing guides displayed on your LCD screen. Onboard camera editing features like In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, which relieves your subjects of that caught in the headlights look; Face-Priority AF, which finds and focuses on your subject's face; and D-Lighting, which automatically lightens dark images will save what might otherwise seem an unsalvageable image. You'll never bemoan bad photos again.

Bells And Whistles You'll Want

In addition to having ground breaking battery life, the COOLPIX L6 offers a higher light sensitivity, up to ISO 800, than many conventional compact digital cameras, allowing you to shoot pictures in a lower light without having to worry about them being dark or blurry. The L6 has a higher shutter speed option for freezing time and capturing fast-moving subjects. Equipped with Blur Warning and Best Shot Selector, the L6 alerts you when an image is blurred and automatically identifies and saves the sharpest image from a series. Other features include color options for adding different color effects to your pictures, a date counter that visually records the number of days until a special occasion, and several white balance choices. Included with the L6 is a complimentary copy of PictureProject, Nikon's imaging software for organizing, editing and sharing pictures. And the COOLPIX L6 offers 23 MBs of internal memory, is compatible with an array of SD memory cards, and uses PictBridge to connect easily to compatible printers.

Realize The Dream

If true-to-life is the ideal, then Nikon gives you the way to realize the dream. By combining a 1/2.5-inch CCD with a 35-105 mm (35 mm equivalent) Zoom-Nikkor lens the COOLPIX L6 delivers super-sharp, 6.0 megapixel images reproducible at up to 2816 x 2112 pixels (16 x 20 inches). Such high resolution enables you to make truly impressive enlargements of your personal masterpieces. One look at the images you capture, and you too will be singing the praises of Nikon's advanced technology--or feel free to take all the credit for yourself.

Arrive In Style

Fifteen pre-programmed Scene Modes make it easy to capture optimal results in the most diverse shooting situations. With the COOLPIX L6, anyone, even a novice photographer, can take great images simply by choosing the appropriate mode for the next picture. Some popular modes include Portrait, which emphasizes a subject with natural skin tones against a soft, pleasing background; Close Up, with its precise manual focus area selection and appropriate coloration, making detailed subjects stand out from the background; Landscape, which emphasizes depth-of-field, capturing distant scenes sharply and clearly, for postcard-like landscape pictures; and Panorama Assist, which allows you to take several side-by-side images, all at the same exposure and white balance setting, then combine them later to create spectacular wide-vista photos that will be the envy of your friends and family. The other scene modes you can select are: Party/Indoor, Night Portrait, Beach/Snow, Sunset, Night Landscape, Copy, Fireworks Show, Backlight, Sports, Dusk/Dawn, and Museum. Whether you like to drive, or just tag along for the ride, the COOLPIX L6 ensures that you arrive in style.

You've Seen The Last Of Red-Eye

Tired of seeing the love of your life, or your mom, looking like a cobra ready to strike? The hated red-eye effect is due to light reflecting off the back of your subject's eye. The helpful folks at Nikon offer several remedies. You can select red-eye reduction by preflash, which uses a burst of light before the actual shot to reduce the pupil size of your subject; or, failing that, rely on the L6's exclusive In-Camera Red-Eye Fix software to analyze and correct the pesky problem. Thwarting red-eye is tough, but it's easier than dumping your honey, or living your life unable to look him or her in the eye.

Fellini Would Be Proud

With the COOLPIX L6, you have the ability to record QuickTime movie sequences--complete with sound! Record Dad learning to water ski or baby's first words. The movie is saved as a QuickTime file, which is easily e-mailed to family and friends so they can join in on the fun. You can choose from three different movie modes: TV Movie (640 x 480 at 30fps), Small size (320 x 240 at 30fps), and Smaller size (160 x 120 at 15fps). Using the camera's internal memory, TV Movie clips run about 26 seconds, Small size about 52 seconds, and Smaller size about 211 seconds. Get going, Fellini.

Let PictureProject Manage Your Images

The COOLPIX L6 includes Nikon's next-generation imaging software--PictureProject. It's a fast and powerful tool for organizing and working with your pictures easily and intuitively. The very first time you open PictureProject, an assistant will guide you and help you manage all the images on your computer. You can create groups and collections with names that make sense to you. You can even add keywords and notes so searching for images takes just a few keystrokes instead of turning into a scavenger hunt. PictureProject lets you transfer images from your camera to your computer seamlessly. You can then edit, enhance, crop, print, e-mail, post to the Web, or create a photo album. You can even publish them to your PDA, create slideshows with music, or stitch together a number of pictures to create a stunning panorama. PictureProject works with Windows 98SE, 2000, ME, and XP, as well as Mac OS X (v10.1.5 or later).
