- Robust build: water- shock- and freeze-proof. Waterproof to depths of 10 m, shockproof from heights of up to 1.5 m and freeze-proof for temperatures down to -10°C.
- 16 megapixel back illuminated CMOS image sensor: increases the amount of light that each pixel receives, improving sensitivity and reducing noise for superb performance in any light.
- NIKKOR wide-angle 5x zoom lens offers outstanding precision and sharp resolution (35mm equivalent: 28-140mm).
- Large 7.5 cm (3-in), 460K-dot LCD monitor: offers vivid color reproduction and sharp contrast. Boasts Nikon’s Clear Color Display technology that minimizes reflections, even underwater or in bright sunlight.
- Built-in Global Positioning System (GPS) and electronic compass: records the exact location (latitude and longitude) where a picture was taken as ‘geotags’ in the image data (EXIF). You can record your route when not taking pictures or use the compass to check your location on the LCD monitor.
- World map display*: a handy reference tool, use it to see where you took your pictures or view the routes saved in your GPS log records.
- Anti-blur technology automatically counters blurred images in four different ways. Hybrid VR (Lens-shift and Electronic Vibration Reduction) reduces the effect of camera shake.
High ISO (up to 3200) light sensitivity reduces the risk of blurred images with fast-moving subjects or in low light. Best Shot Selector (BSS) automatically selects the sharpest of up to 10 sequential shots.
- Dedicated light modes: deliver superb results in any light, even without a tripod. Backlight scene mode with Auto HDR offers impressive tonal detail in any situation. Night Portrait mode delivers beautifully detailed night scenes and indoor portraits. Night Landscape mode lets you shoot sharp images at low ISO.
- High speed continuous shooting - capture the action at a fast 9.5 fps.
- Full HD (1080p) movie recording with stereo sound: a dedicated movie-record button makes it easy to begin shooting. Optical zoom and autofocus are available during recording, and you can capture a photo while filming. Boasts an option to film in slow or fast motion using recording speeds from 15 to 240 fps. Camera features a built-in HDMI connector with HDMI-CEC support for output to an HDTV.
