Press Release
The Nikon Coolpix S9 is a high-quality compact digital camera that packs 6.1 megapixels and a range of easy-to-use functions into a slim, stylish, and sophisticated wave-surface body designed to help anyone shoot pictures with greater confidence.
At the heart of the Coolpix S9 is a 1/2.5-inch CCD that offers enhanced precision and 6.1 effective megapixel image resolution to capture true-to-life color and deliver sharp, fine detail. It also features a 3x Zoom-Nikkor ED lens with a 38-114mm range (35mm equivalent), which gives users broad compositional freedom to shoot anything from expansive scenery to tight portraits.
Continuing in line with Nikon's reputation for innovation, the Coolpix S9 lens features an ingenious "right-angled" design that allows it to operate throughout its entire focal range without ever protruding from the camera's slim body. A generous 153,600-dot, 2.5-inch LCD not only allows simple composition, but also enables high-quality playback anywhere as well as supporting smoother menu navigation.
Another fun innovation featured in the Coolpix S9 is a stop-motion movie function which makes it easy for users to create their very own stop-motion animated films by taking a shot of the models they wish to animate, move the models, then shoot again.
The Coolpix S9 also makes getting great-looking results in challenging conditions remarkably easy with a handy one-touch portrait button that provides direct access to three unique in-camera Nikon image innovations: Face Priority AF, which automatically detects and achieves sharp focus on people's faces wherever they are in the frame; In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, which automatically overcomes the red-eye effect sometimes caused by flash; and Nikon's D-Lighting, which rescues underexposed images or shots with too much back light. (Face recognition capability may be limited in some shooting conditions.)
