Nikon coolpix S630 digital camera

[Trog]

The S630 is compact, and stylishly designed with a special Sure grip for a comfortable finger-fit. With a Sure Grip that comfortably fits your hand, taking pictures with the S630 simply feels right. Its performance is right on the mark too. With 12 million effective megapixels, image-sensor shift VR (Vibration Reduction) and a superb 7x optical zoom NIKKOR lens, the quality of the images it produces will enhance any occasion. It boasts cutting edge features such as the all-new Blink Proof feature, which combines Smile mode and Blink Warning. This function detects a face and automatically takes two sequential shots when the subject smiles, then saves the one in which the subject’s eyes are open. Add Scene Auto mode, which automatically adjusts the settings to suit the scene, a Sports Continuous Mode with up to 10 fps and a Quick Retouch function, and this is clearly a camera to be reckoned with. It is available in Black or Ruby Red.

Nikon's exclusive Smart Portrait System

Automatically detecting as many as 12 faces in the shot, Face-priority AF helps produce satisfying portraits by adjusting focus and exposure. Smile Mode automatically releases the shutter when the priority subject smiles and offers the new Blink Proof function, which automatically shoots two sequential frames and saves the one in which the subject's eyes are open-wide. Now featuring faster processing speed, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically corrects any perceived red-eye effect before saving the image to memory.

ISO 6400 capability provides extended shooting range

A variety of light sensitivity controls create new opportunities to take sharper, more natural-looking photos in lower light conditions, or to capture fast-moving subjects with outstanding clarity. Sensitivity of up to ISO 6400* can be set using manual control. Auto ISO enables carefree shooting with optimal exposure by entrusting the light sensitivity setting to the camera. The automated control of High sensitivity mode* is particularly useful when shooting in low light or when the subject is moving in the shot. And Fixed range auto allows you to limit sensitivity from ISO 64 to 200 or 400 for effective control over image quality and the amount of “grain” that appears in images. High sensitivity mode is available only for image sizes of 3M (2048 x 1536) or smaller.

Large 2.7-in. LCD with wide-viewing angle

The high quality 2.7-in. LCD for the COOLPIX S630 features a 170-degree wide-viewing angle, anti-reflection coating for better display in bright situations, as well as brightness level adjustment.

4 Way VR Image Stabilization:

• Nikon's Optical VR Image Stabilization compensates for the effects of camera shake by moving the image sensor. This produces clearer, sharper results in lower lighting or unsteady conditions.
  
• Motion Detection automatically detects moving subjects and adjusts shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for camera shake and subject movement.
  
• High ISO up to 6400 capability helps give you sharper results when shooting in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects. This creates new opportunities to take sharper, more natural-looking photos in lower light conditions. ISO 3200 and ISO 6400 is available at 3MP or lower resolution.
  
• Nikon’s original Best Shot Selector (BSS) automatically takes up to 10 shots while the shutter is pressed and then saves the sharpest image.
