Four advanced image stabilization features ensure sharper
results
VR image stabilization in action. The Coolpix S8000's high ISO
1600 capability allows shooting at faster shutter speeds,
yielding great results even when shooting in low light or when
capturing fast-moving subjects. Motion Detection assists in
achieving sharper results by automatically controlling the
shutter speed and ISO setting to compensate for subject movement
as well as camera shake. New advanced flash control enables
natural and beautiful flash photos even when subjects are backlit
or when shooting telephoto by enhancing ISO sensitivity, rather
than opting for slower shutter speeds.
Nikon's Smart Portrait System with Skin Softening
As part of Nikon's Smart Portrait System, a series of advanced
functions help produce consistently great portraits. The Skin
Softening function ensures smooth skin tone on the face of
subjects by leveraging built-in face-detection technology.
Automatically detecting as many as 12 faces in the ,
Face-priority AF helps produce satisfying portraits by adjusting
focus and exposure. Smile Timer helps to faithfully record
precious moments by automatically releasing the shutter when the
subject smiles. Blink Warning alerts the photographer when it
suspects that a subject has blinked, while the Blink Proof
function shoots five sequential frames, then saves the one in
which the subject's eyes are wide open. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix
Red-Eye Fix automatically corrects perceived red-eye effect
before saving the image to memory.
Creative Slider
The Coolpix S8000 is equipped with the Creative Slider, a fun
new way to apply a rich variety of effects when shooting in Auto
Mode. Adjust brightness, saturation and color tone using the
