Nikon Coolpix 7600 7MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

Description

Like all other models in the popular COOLPIX series, the COOLPIX 7600 has been designed to make things simple for you and give you greater versatility, without compromising your enjoyment of the moment. Its high-quality 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor ED lens and 7.1 effective megapixel resolution give you great control over how you compose your shots, and greater image quality than most entry-level cameras. The COOLPIX 7600 features 16 handy Scene modes, four of which offer a Scene Assistance function. These user-friendly modes automatically control camera settings, enabling you to achieve high-quality results, simply choose the Scene Mode that best matches the subject. The COOLPIX 7600 stands apart from other cameras in its class with its handy ability to automatically improve the quality of recorded shots with the touch of a button. Nikon's exclusive D-Lighting function, for example, can be selected in Playback mode - automatically compensating for insufficient flash or excessive back lighting in order to obtain balanced exposure throughout the frame. Nikon's proprietary Advanced Red-eye Reduction, on the other hand, has the ability to automatically detect and correct red eyes in-camera in most situations.

The Nikon Coolpix 7600 digital camera features a 7-megapixel CCD, 3x optical zoom through a high-quality Zoom-Nikkor lens, and long battery life using convenient AA-size batteries. Plus, with Nikon's exclusive In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, red eyes may be a thing of the past. Nikon's renowned In-Camera Red-Eye Fix technology automatically detects and corrects red eyes in most typical situations without the need to press buttons or select and highlight the eyes in playback.

Nikon's exclusive new D-Lighting feature is another new addition that can turn throwaway shots into frame-able memories. The D-Lighting feature can be selected in Playback mode, automatically compensating for insufficient flash or excessive back lighting in order to obtain balanced exposure throughout the frame. The Coolpix 7600 is also equipped with Blur Warning, another feature unique to Nikon, which alerts the user when a shot is compromised by camera or hand shake, allowing another shot to be taken before leaving the scene.

The Coolpix 7600 is also phenomenally easy to use. In fact, it's been designed to appeal not only to beginners of all ages, but also to people who've never even considered buying a digital camera before. A redesigned graphic user interface (GUI) lets the user navigate functions by either menu item list or icon, enabling the beginner to find the right mode at the right moment to achieve the best results, time after time. Furthermore, with a handy new Help button that displays a description for each selected function on the main menu, the process has been made easier than ever before.

The 7600's D-Lighting feature allows in-camera compensation for uneven lighting.

The camera also features a large, bright 1.8-inch LCD screen, making it easy to compose shots and view recorded images at any time. It's been designed to consume much less power, making it possible to take almost twice as many images when using regular AA alkaline batteries.

Like its predecessors, the Coolpix 7600 also features Scene Modes, which allow the camera to adjust to the most typical shooting environments--Sunset, Fireworks, Indoor, Portrait, etc.--with the turn of a dial. The Coolpix 7600 and 7600 also feature an entirely new Scene Mode, Underwater Mode, which produces more satisfying, true-to-life colors when using the optional WP-CP3 waterproof case (case not included--must be purchased separately) to shoot scenes while snorkeling or scuba diving to a depth of 130 feet. This exciting new addition increases the number of Scene Modes to 16.

Creative snap-shooters have the option of five Color Options, enabling the selection of sepia tone, black-and-white, and even cyanotype, for example, to change the entire look and feel of a shot. The 7600 also has 14 MB of internal memory, allowing images to be recorded without additional memory media.

The Coolpix 7600 also makes it easy to capture action in an expressive manner with movie shooting capabilities. It offers a choice of three simplified Movie Modes--TV, Small, and Smaller. (Movies are recorded without sound.) It can also be easily connected to a TV, using the included video cable, to share the fun with friends and family.

The Nikon Coolpix 7600 digital camera makes the entire digital process more convenient. Its PictBridge compatibility makes it possible to print directly to a printer, without the need for a PC.
