Digital Compact Camera Nikon COOLPIX S220

High performance, advanced functions and elegantly slim design blend to make picture-taking and carrying a camera more rewarding

TOKYO – Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the COOLPIX S220. Combining the precision optics of a NIKKOR lens with the image quality and performance benefits of Nikon's innovative EXPEED digital image-processing concept, the COOLPIX S220 blends advanced shooting functions with a slim, ultra-compact design to offer a more satisfying experience in photography and in carrying a camera.

The COOLPIX S220 features high performance imaging capabilities. 10.0 effective megapixels of sharp resolution teams with an optimized processing system to faithfully reproduce fine details and subtle tones, deliver quick response, and maintain image quality and clarity when taking advantage of extended light sensitivity settings as high as ISO 2000. A precision 3x Zoom-NIKKOR lens that employs six aspherical surfaces ably covers focal lengths from 35-105mm (35mm format equivalent).

The COOLPIX S220 is housed in an 18mm slim, quality-crafted aluminum body with gentle contours that fit comfortably in the hand. Functional beauty and elegant design abound, from the clean design of the back with its spacious thumb rest, large controls, and independent shooting mode and playback buttons, to the large shutter release button, easy-to-operate zoom control and power lamp on the top plane. The finishing touch is the fashionable lineup of attractive colors that are available to best reflect individual tastes.

The COOLPIX S220 will be available in Soft Silver, Aqua Green, Magenta, Cobalt Blue, Purple, or Black, or Red. (Color name and color availability may vary according to region.)

Nikon COOLPIX S220 Feature Highlights

Intelligent automation contributes to carefree shooting

Nikon's Scene Auto Selector eliminates the need to manually select a scene mode to match the shot, and this makes it faster and easier to capture the moment in beautiful fashion. The COOLPIX S220 uses this intelligent function to analyze the subject and surrounding setting and automatically selects the most appropriate of the following six scene modes to achieve optimal results – Portrait, Landscape, Night Portrait, Night Landscape, Close-up, or Backlight.

Nikon's exclusive Smart Portrait System

Automatically detecting as many as 12 faces in the shot, Face-priority AF helps produce satisfying portraits by adjusting focus and exposure. Smile Mode automatically releases the shutter when the priority subject smiles and offers the new Blink Proof function, which automatically shoots two sequential frames and saves the one in which the subject's eyes are open-wide. Now featuring faster processing speed, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically corrects any perceived red-eye effect before saving the image to memory.

Four advanced image stabilizing features help ensure sharper results

Nikon's electronic VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization compensates for the effects of camera shake. Motion Detection automatically controls shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for subject movement as well as camera shake. ISO 2000 capability allows faster shutter speeds when shooting in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects. And, Nikon's original BSS (Best Shot Selector) function automatically shoots a series of sequential frames and saves the one with the sharpest focus.

Quick Retouch

Quick Retouch adds the right finishing touch to your photos by automatically creating a retouched copy with the best balance of contrast and saturation.
