| Great photos and superb HD movies begin with
Nikon's high power 21x wide-angle optical Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens.
This powerful zoom lens, with a 25-525mm range equivalent, closes
the distance between you and your subjects |
| Capture your son firing off the game-winning
lacrosse shot or your daughter's first ride on a two wheeler.
Whether it's a panoramic shot of the entire family on a favorite
sledding hill or photo of your children playing in the backyard,
you'll shoot effortlessly and accurately with the Coolpix L120 |
| If you're new to photography, no worries,
this camera has intelligent features to help you out. Five-way VR
Image Stabilization uses sensor shift to minimize the effects of
camera shake, virtually eliminating blurred images |
| Trick-or-treating with the kids? The Coolpix
L120 has a high ISO speed up to 6400 to capture fast moving or
low-light scenario |
| As photo keeper of family memories, you can
rely on the Coolpix L120 to capture great still images that you
can print and save. But a band concert without sound is incomplete
and a 60-yard touchdown drive without the fleet-footed runs isn't
as exciting |
| That's where the Coolpix L120's advanced
One-Touch HD Movie recording capabilities come in. With the push
of a button you'll instantly be shooting 720p HD movies in full
stereo. While shooting you can activate the camera's zoom function
to capture tight shots and close ups |
| And when you're ready to share your movies
with family and friends, you can use in-camera playback or the
convenient HDMI output for simple hookup to an HDTV or computer |
| With high ISO speeds up to 6400, you can be
sure that still images and movies will be ideally captured. With
Nikon's Sport Continuous Shooting mode, this camera takes photos
continuously and in quick succession to capture fast moving
objects |
| You'll get great use of the in-camera
editing functions, including D-Lighting for adjusting contrast and
fine details often lost when shooting in glaring or intense light.
You can pick from five color options: Standard, Vivid, Black &
White, Sepia and Cyanotype |
| And when you want to take close up photos,
the Coolpix L120 will zero in as close as 0.4 inches. Don't
hesitate to click away, because you'll get about 330 stills from
the four AA alkaline batteries that come with the camera |
| Smile Timer detects when a subject smiles
and automatically takes the photo. Blink Warning identifies when a
subject may have blinked and signals you to retake the shot.
Face-Priority AF is an innovative face-identifying technology that
detects and focuses up to 12 faces automatically |
| Red-eye will no longer ruin family photos.
In-camera Red-Eye Fix automatically fixes the problem before it
occurs. Blotchy, uneven complexions are also a thing of the past
with Coolpix L120's Skin Softening, which smoothes skin tones |
| The versatile camera also has 17 Scene Modes
that adjust camera settings to selected scenes, assuring great
pictures at school plays, backyard barbecues, or athletic events |
| You'll enjoy composing images from the
Coolpix L120's bright three-inch LCD color display, which features
a dazzling 921,000-dot screen that showcases still images and HD
movies in rich detail and enhanced contrast |
| For easy photo composition, improved picture
viewing and instant sharing, the LCD monitor's wide viewing angle
and anti-glare coating lets you capture and view high quality
images in virtually any lighting condition, every time |
