With the One-Touch Portrait Button on the top of the camera, it's as easy as a single press of one button to get a great portrait—without red-eye.
  • Nikon Image Innovations include: In-Camera Red-Eye Fix™, which will automatically look for and fix most instances of red-eye; Face Priority AF is Nikon's face-finding technology that can quickly find and focus on up to five faces in a group portrait; and D-Lighting will rescue those pictures that are too dark for printing by enhancing the underexposed areas of the picture while not touching the properly exposed areas.
  • All New Pictmotion lets you select your favorite pictures and movies and combine them with music. There are five pieces of music pre-installed, and you can upload up to ten pieces of your own music to the camera!
