Compact enough to tuck in a pocket or purse and fast enough to be ready in an instant, the
Nikon COOLPIX S6300 will capture the wide variety of activities your family enjoys. Its powerful 10x optical zoom-NIKKOR glass lens and high-resolution 16.0-megapixel CMOS sensor delivers exceptional photos and Full HD (1080p) movies with stereo sound in any setting.
Catch moments around a dimly lit birthday cake or sun soaked days at the lake in brilliant Nikon quality.
An improved optical Vibration Reduction system ensures your images are sharp
and clear by reducing the effects of camera shake / motion blur.
Use Easy Panorama mode to combine multiple images into seamless 180 degree or
360 degree panoramic shots.
For extra creativity, you can apply in-camera Special effects, including Low
Key, High Key, Sepia and Selective Color to add that artsy touch to your images
or video. Also, when you're in playback mode viewing still photos, you can
employ a creative Filter Effect such as Fisheye or Miniature.
Easy to use and packed with lots of fun features, the S6300 is a great choice
for beginners, but can also satisfy more experienced photographers.
Take advantage of 3D image shooting! This capability makes it easy for you to
produce composite photos and video that have a lifelike look when displayed on
3D-capable TVs and PCs.
