Keep it simple. Let the camera determine the best settings for the job with Easy Auto Mode, including pre-programmed settings for Portrait, Night Portrait, Landscape, Night Landscape and Close-up. When set, the camera will automatically recognize the scene and optimize the camera settings to capture the best shot.
Use Nikon’s Smart Portrait System with Smile Timer, a mode that automatically recognizes when a subject is smiling. Also included are Blink Warning and Red-Eye Fix™. Use the Skin Softening feature to perfect complexion imperfections.
The L810 relies on four AA batteries, which are super convenient and available everywhere.
The L810 is capable of 3D still image photography. Enjoy viewing these still images simply by connecting to a 3D HDTV using the camera’s HDMI port.
