COOLPIX S6500 Primary Features
 
A 12x optical zoom-NIKKOR lens covering a broad range of angles of view from wide-angle 25mm to 300mm (equivalent in 35-mm [135] format) The COOLPIX S6500 is equipped with a backside illumination CMOS image sensor with an effective pixel count of 16.1-million and a high-powered zoom-NIKKOR lens with lens-shift Vibration Reduction (VR) technology, all in a stylish and slim body. With the S6500’s high level of portability, users will enjoy capturing a great variety of scenes, from wide-angle landscape shots to close-ups of people's expressions using the zoom or macro close-up shooting (up to about 8 cm from the front of the lens).
 
Wi-Fi® compatibility expands the enjoyment of connecting through easy communications with smart devices With built-in Wi-Fi®, users can easily transfer photos and movies to smart devices such as smartphones and tablets1 and from there, they can share high-quality images and videos by uploading directly to social networking sites. Users can also use smart devices to remotely shoot pictures, convenient for group photos.
 
Eight Glamour Retouch effects, including five new effects Five new Glamour Retouch effects are available on the COOLPIX S6500, including Brighten Faces to enhance skin tones, Hide Eye Bags to reduce the effects of bags and darkening under the eyes, Whiten Eyes to make the whites of eyes appear whiter, Whiten Teeth to brighten smiles, and Redden Cheeks to apply a blush effect to the cheeks for a lively look (orange, red, blue-pink and yellow-pink colours can be selected).
Previously released Glamour effects are also included (Skin Softening, Small Face and Big Eyes). With eight effects, users can adjust photos to create memorable portraits that really bring out the beauty and expressions of their subjects.
 
A wide variety of shooting functions for capturing decisive moments The COOLPIX S6500 features Smile Timer Continuous, with which the camera captures up to five images continuously and saves all, and Best Shot Selector (BSS), which captures up to five images continuously and saves the one that best captured the smile. The camera also comes equipped with advanced basic performance including Target Finding AF, which instructs the camera to automatically focus on the most suitable subject just by pointing the camera at it, Scene Auto Selector, which automatically sets the optimal scene mode, and Face Priority AF, which automatically detects and focuses on human faces. The COOLPIX S6500 features an extensive array of functions to ensure that users will be able to capture their special moments.
 
High-quality Full-HD (1080p) movies with stereo sound at the press of a button Full-HD 1920 x 1080/30 fps movies with stereo sound and superior picture quality can be recorded with a simple press of a button on the back of the camera. The COOLPIX S6500 also features a function that allows for pausing movie recording.
