The 8.1-megapixel Nikon Coolpix P60 features an f/3.6-4.5, 36-180mm (35mm equivalent) optically stabilized 5x zoom lens, and a 153,000-dot, 2.5-inch LCD. The camera also includes a 201,000-dot, 0.2-inch electronic viewfinder. Notable features include face-detection, redeye correction, Nikon’s D-Lighting function for opening up shadow areas, and the company’s Best Shot Selector, which takes a series of shots and saves the sharpest one. Also included are Nikon’s standard 14 scene modes in addition to plain automatic shooting as well as a Panorama assist mode. The P60 offers a top light-sensitivity setting of ISO 2000. The camera, which runs on a pair of AA batteries, can capture 30fps VGA video with sound. Designed for more advanced photographers, the camera offers a manual exposure mode, a histogram display and Nikon’s Optimize Image menu for selecting color and monochrome filter effects.
Designed for intuitive operation, it has an easy-to-hold grip providing stability and a solid shooting touch in a comfortable, compact body size. Framing a photograph is simple, using either the Nikon P60’s wide viewing angle 2.5-inch LCD screen, or the electronic viewfinder with included information display. The camera’s easy to use mode dial makes it simple for users to switch between manual and auto modes. In Programmed auto mode, it automatically selects shutter speed and aperture for optimal exposure, while the Manual mode lets users select both shutter speed and aperture for greater control over results. The camera includes 15 scene modes optimised for pre-defined situations including Portrait, Landscape, Night Portrait, Sports, Party/Indoor, Close Up, Museum and even Fireworks Show. The Nikon Coolpix P60 also has the capacity for movie recording with sound at 640 x 480 pixels at 30fps. Images are recorded on a removable SD memory card or in the 22MB internal memory.
Image sensor shift VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization compensates for camera shake or movement by unsteady subjects to realize yet sharper results. And extended light sensitivity up to ISO 2000 further helps prevent blurred shots in lower light, or when capturing fast-moving subjects. The COOLPIX P60 also offers Programmed Auto [P] and Manual [M] exposure modes, enabling the user to enjoy shooting in a variety of styles. A functional body design with a defined grip for secure finger placement allows for intuitive operation including the use of the Mode dial. Compositional versatility, even in bright sunlight, is achieved thanks to its electronic viewfinder and a 2.5-inch LCD monitor.
