Magnification of Dynamic Fine Zoom is calculated from the maximum wide-angle position of optical zoom.
By virtue of its extreme zoom capabilities, the COOLPIX P610 offers extraordinary power of expression by zooming in tight and capitalizing on the telephoto compression effect. And since depth-of-field becomes shallower in the telephoto range, this can be used for shots that focus attention only on the subject.
From 24 mm wide-angle to 1440 mm telephoto, the wide zoom coverage supports shooting of moving subjects
The wide zoom range (equivalent to 24-1440 mm in 35mm format) enables you to smoothly capture moving subjects in the viewfinder its as easy as first locating your subject while zoomed out for a wide field of view, and then zooming in to telephoto for a tight shot
This wide zoom range will also prove itself to be invaluable when you need to take pictures of different subjects located at various distances away from the camera, or in cases where the distance to a subject fluctuates drastically.
By creating sharp images with beautifully de-focused backgrounds, it is possible to draw attention to the subject in the foreground and take highly expressive photographs.
A class-leading compact body* with powerful camera-shake compensation enables stress-free handheld shooting
The COOLPIX P610 was designed to offer incredible zoom in a body that is the smallest in the world for this category*, providing easier carrying and holding compared to D-SLRs with interchangeable lenses. Whats more, high-performance camera-shake compensation effectively reduces vibration that can cause blurry images, so images are crisp and clear even during handheld shooting at a high zoom ratio.
Among digital cameras equipped with 60x or more optical zoom available as of Jan. 23, 2015. Based on Nikon research.
To maximize the camera's image rendition capabilities even at 1440 mm* optical zoom, the COOLPIX P610 incorporates Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements as are featured in high-end NIKKOR interchangeable lenses for Nikon D-SLR cameras.
Through a dramatic reduction in chromatic aberration (green-magenta color fringing), the lens contributes to this camera's expressive photographic capabilities.
