TOKYO - Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the release of five new COOLPIX S-series models incorporating advanced functions and ease of use.

Shared Features

Built-in Wi-Fi® that makes connecting with others more fun with simple connection to smart devices (S6800 /S5300)
The built-in Wi-Fi® function can be used to transfer photos* to a smart device over a wireless connection as soon as they are taken. Photos can be easily shared with family and friends, or uploaded to blogs or social networking sites (SNS). In addition, 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.

*The Wireless Mobile Utility app must first be installed on the smart device (the app can be downloaded free of charge from the smart device's app store), and Wi-Fi connection settings must be applied before image transfer is possible.
A function for recording 1920 x 1080/60i movies with superior picture quality with the press of a button (S6800 /S5300)
1920 x 1080, 60i movies with stereo sound can be recorded by simply pressing the camera's movie-record button. A variety of recording functions are also available. Dramatic movies recorded using the HS Movie function can be played back in slow motion at 1/4 or 1/2 the normal playback speed, or in fast motion at twice the normal playback speed. Recording of a single movie can also be paused and resumed to include only the desired portions of an activity or event in a movie.

4-axis vibration reduction that effectively compensates for camera shake with movie recording (S6800/S6700/S5300/S3600)
Four-axis vibration reduction combines lens-shift vibration reduction, which compensates for camera shake with which the camera tilts slightly to the left and right or forward and back, with electronic vibration reduction, which compensates for camera shake with which the camera moves slightly to the left and right or up and down, for effective vibration reduction under a wide variety of circumstances, such as when recording movies while walking. Effective stabilization of the scene displayed in the monitor as well makes framing movies easier for sharp and clear recording.

*4-axis vibration reduction is used only with movie recording.
A variety of effects that can be applied with shooting and after: Glamour Retouch effects, Special Effects, Quick Effects (all 5 models)

Target Finding AF, with which the user need simply point the camera at the intended subject and the camera automatically focuses on the optimal subject, and Scene Auto Selector mode, with which the camera automatically applies the optimal scene mode (all 5 models)
Target Finding AF
By simply pointing the camera toward the intended subject, the camera instantly predicts and displays the portion on which focus will be acquired. As the active focus area is automatically specified in accordance with the size of the subject, focus can be acquired on the intended portion. Target Finding AF is effective not only with human subjects, but also when photographing smaller subjects such as flowers, food, and the like.

Scene Auto Selector mode
Scene Auto Selector mode is enabled as soon as the camera is turned on. The camera identifies the scene and applies the optimal scene mode, making shooting fun, without confusion, even for those using a digital camera for the first time.
One of ten scene modes, including Portrait, Night Landscape, Backlighting, and Close-up, is automatically specified.
