Nikon COOLPIX S230 review
Intuitive touch-screen controls for all shooting and playback functions The
COOLPIX S230 blends the intuitive control of touch screen operation and
advanced functions with a pleasingly compact design and high-quality
aluminum body. The precision optics of a NIKKOR lens, 10 megapixel
resolution and Nikon’s exclusive EXPEED?„? advanced digital image
processing system technologies combine to produce fine image details and
subtle tones. What?€™s more, photographers can even maintain image
quality and clarity when taking advantage of extended light sensitivity
settings as high as ISO 2000. The newly developed 3-inch touch control LCD
features intuitive fingertip shooting control and a variety of exciting
playback options. Advanced shooting features include the ability to lock
autofocus and exposure on a subject by simply touching the subject?€™s
face on the screen. When used in conjunction with the Portrait One-Touch
Zoom function available in Portrait or Night Portrait scene modes, another
simple touch of the screen commands the camera to set its three-step
automatic zoom to deliver the right amount of framing for waist, bust or
close-up shots. Touch control also lends a new dimension of fun to viewing
and retouching images. The speed and ease of fingertip scrolling through
images and instant image selection makes it easy to edit or share images.
The supplied stylus can be used with a variety of input, retouch and image
enhancement functions. Included is the Paint Function, which enables memos,
drawings, colourful borders or stamps to be added directly to images. There
is also an independent Handwritten Memo function, which allows memos or
drawings entered on the touch screen to be stored as JPEG files. The
COOLPIX S230 will be available in gloss red, purple and black.
