The Nikon COOLPIX S3600 – Become a stylishly sharp shooter
Designed for people looking for a discreet camera to suit their lifestyle, the COOLPIX S3600 is a stylish compact with 20-megapixels packed into a slim body full of features, making it the carry-anywhere camera that always gives you stunning shots.
An 8x optical zoom (25-200mm) with up to 16x Dynamic Fine Zoom gets you close to the action and an extensive retouch menu means you can add fun effects or use Glamour Retouch to make sure everyone looks great. Scene Auto Selector optimises settings for you, so you can focus on framing fabulous photos, while Lens Shift VR counters the effect of camera shake for sharper images.
A slender body enhanced by a high-quality finish comes in a selection of six fashionable colour variations while the rounded design ensures the camera fits comfortably in your hand.
The camera’s 20-megapixel CCD image sensor with high megapixel count gives you sharp images with clear details – perfect for photo and poster enlargements – while a full retouch menu lets you try up to 32 different types of quick effects straight after you shoot, in a simple three-step process. Style meets substance as the camera also features a dedicated movie-record button that lets you record friends and family in motion with just one touch.
James Loader, Senior Product Manager for Consumer Products at Nikon UK comments: “The COOLPIX S3600 is packed with features that will help you to capture friends and family at their best. Portrait shots are enhanced thanks to the Smart Portrait System, with smile timer and Red-eye correction, and advanced Glamour Retouch, which allows you to choose between 12 different effects, including Whiten teeth. The slender design and extendable zoom lens with vibration reduction mean it will fit into your lifestyle as easily as it fits in your pocket.”
