Combining simple operation and high performance for outstanding photographs
Tokyo, January 29, 2008 — Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the COOLPIX L16 and L18, quality compact digital cameras that combine high performance with operating ease.
The COOLPIX L18 and L16 offer simple operation for beautiful
photographs and are equipped with Nikon’s innovative EXPEED digital
image processing concept and a NIKKOR lens.
Intuitive operation ensures error-free command over the performance
features of the COOLPIX L18 and L16. Dedicated buttons on the top of
the body make it easy to switch between shooting and playback modes.
The large 3.0-inch (L18) and 2.8-inch (L16) LCD monitors offer a bright
image that is a pleasure to view, even outdoors. And the body itself
assures a solid grip with a balance of flowing surfaces contrasted by
sharp edge lines.
The COOLPIX L18 and L16 make full use of their respective 8.0 and 7.1
effective megapixels of imaging power to capture true-to-life color and
leaves plenty of freedom to crop or produce enlargements. And the
precision optics of a 3x Zoom-NIKKOR lens covers a practical range from
35-105mm (35mm format equivalent) to ably capture everything from group
shots to close-up portraits. Extended light sensitivity as high as ISO
1600 prevents blurred shots in lower light, or when capturing
fast-moving subjects.
The COOLPIX L18 and L16 feature Easy auto mode where users can turn on
the camera and shoot without worrying about any settings. Automatically
enabled D-Lighting and Anti-shake AE compensate for lighting and camera
movement, enabling users to shoot great pictures without difficult
operation. The COOLPIX L18 will be available in Silver, Matte Black,
Blue and Red, while the COOLPIX L16 will be available in Silver and
Matte Black*.
* Color availability may vary according to region.
Note: Specifications, design, product name, standard accessories, and release schedule may differ by country or area.
Nikon COOLPIX L18/L16 Feature Highlights
Easy auto mode and scene modes for carefree shooting
Easy auto mode makes it easier to turn on the camera and shoot without
worrying about settings. Easy access to 14 different scene modes and
three movie modes also ensures shooting that is tuned to give the best
results to match the moment.
Anti-shake AE for great pictures at great ease
Effortlessly take better pictures with the COOLPIX L18 and L16 with new
Anti-shake AE. It detects subject movement and camera shake, and
automatically overcomes blur by adjusting to high shutter speeds and
higher ISO sensitivity.
Three Unique Nikon Image Innovations
The COOLPIX L18 and L16 feature a selection of three innovative
functions that provide the ability to actually improve the quality of
images within the camera. Face-priority AF* automatically finds, then
focuses on people’s faces for crisp, clear results time after time.
In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically compensates to help eradicate
traces of the annoying red-eye effect that can sometimes be encountered
during flash photography. And D-Lighting can be applied to improve
underexposed images or shots taken with too much backlight. D-Lighting
automatically creates a copy of the image with detail added where
necessary, but with well-exposed areas left completely untouched.
*Face recognition capability may be limited in some shooting conditions.
ISO 1600 capability for better pictures in lower light
Making it easier to take great-looking pictures in lower lighting
conditions, or to capture fast-moving subjects with outstanding
clarity, the COOLPIX L18 and L16 accurately measure available light to
automatically select the optimal sensitivity setting for the shot
between the range of ISO 64 to as high as ISO 1600.
