The 60x optical zoom NIKKOR lens built into the P600 offers an ultra-high zoom ratio that covers the wide-angle 24mm to super-telephoto 1440mm range of angles of view (equivalent focal lengths in 35mm format). Dynamic Fine Zoom enables 120x zoom with which resolution is preserved in the digital zoom range, and also supports macro photography as close as 1 cm to the lens. This model supports capture of a wide variety of scenes, from super-telephoto to wide-angle and macro photography.
Two new scene modes, Moon and Bird-watching, have been added. By selecting one of these scene modes, the camera automatically focuses and applies optimal shooting settings.
The P600, however, is equipped with a high-performance lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) function that offers camera shake compensation equivalent to a shutter speed 3.5-stops faster, enabling worry-free shooting even with super-telephoto photography. In addition, Active mode effectively reduces the effects of greater camera shake and makes framing images easier for sharp, clear still images and movies, whether photographing landscapes from a moving vehicle or recording movies while walking.
For the first time ever, a super ED lens element has been adopted for a lens built into a COOLPIX camera. Super ED lens elements have long been used in Nikon digital SLR cameras. A single super ED lens element enables superior aberration correction performance for images exhibiting excellent resolution, even when captured at high zoom ratios. Adoption of a super ED lens element helps to keep the camera body compact as superior image-formation performance can be achieved, even with high-power zoom, without increasing the size of the lens barrel.
The built-in Wi-Fi function can be used to transfer photos to a smart device over a wireless connection. Photos taken with this digital camera can be easily shared or uploaded to blogs or social networking sites. The display on a smartphone, tablet, or other smart device can be used to frame images and control shooting remotely. This is very convenient when taking group photos and the like in which the user is included. With remote shooting, the self-timer, zoom, and shooting information are also displayed on the smart device screen. ■
