A compact all-in-one lens that’s ready for anything
If you’re looking for an outstanding grab-and-go lens—the kind you’ll keep on your camera for nearly every situation—check out the new AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR. Optimized to draw full potential from Nikon’s high-resolution DX-format image sensors, it delivers beautiful ultra-sharp photos and videos with softly blurred backgrounds. Its versatile 7.8x zoom range (18mm to 140mm) lets you shoot everything from wide-angle family portraits to telephoto close-ups on the sports field. 4* stops of VR image stabilization means sharper handheld photos and video, especially when shooting in low light or at maximum focal length. You can even get as close as 1.48-feet from your subject for macro-style close-ups!
7.8x wide-angle to telephoto zoom
Developed with high pixel count D-SLRs in mind, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR delivers vibrant, detail-rich photos and videos across its entire zoom range. Zoom out for an 18mm wide-angle view that’s great for group shots, landscapes or any time you need to fit more into the frame. Zoom in for 140mm of telephoto reach—enough zoom to capture close-ups of your favorite player from the sidelines. In between, you have standard views similar to what you see with your eyes and medium telephoto views ideal for portraits. Whatever shot comes your way, you’ll be ready to catch it.
The VR image stabilization advantage
The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR versatility is strengthened by 4 stops of VR image stabilization. Capture sharp, shake-free handheld photos and videos in low-light situations, when you want to use slower shutter speeds, and at telephoto distances, when even the smallest amount of camera shake can ruin a shot.
Advanced Nikon technology and superb NIKKOR optics
AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is an advanced lens designed to get the most from highresolution Nikon D-SLRs. In addition to VR image stabilization, it uses ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass, which virtually eliminates reflections and lens flare for better contrast and Aspherical (AS) lens elements for minimizing aberration and improving image integrity and color. Nikon’s remarkable Silent Wave Motor (SWM) provides ultra-fast, ultra-quiet autofocusing, a major advantage when recording video. And, of course, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR has NIKKOR’s renowned quality of construction and outstanding optics.

By admin, on August 6th, 2013
Nikon today announced S6600 Compact camera, the camera features vari-angle monitor, 16.0-million pixels sensor, 12X optical Zoom and built-in Wi-Fi. The camera also features eight Glamour Retouch options allow users to retouch images to create memorable portraits to emphasize a person’s image and expression.

TOKYO – Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the release of the S6600, the first COOLPIX S-series model equipped with a vari-angle monitor.
As the first COOLPIX S-series model equipped with a side-hinged vari-angle monitor, the S6600 is capable of flexible shooting, from low angles to high, and even self portraits. It is also equipped with a Gesture Control function that allows the user to control the camera remotely by moving their hand when taking self portraits. The camera is equipped with a backside illumination CMOS image sensor with an effective pixel count of 16.0-million pixels that enables very little noise in images captured at high sensitivities, a lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) function, and a 12x optical zoom NIKKOR lens with a closest focusing distance of just 2 cm for macro photography. With built-in Wi-Fi®, users can easily transfer images to smart devices such as smartphones and tablets.
COOLPIX S6600 Primary Features
- A vari-angle monitor that enables operation using gestures
The S6600 is the first COOLPIX S-series camera to be equipped with a vari-angle monitor. A side-hinged vari-angle monitor has been adopted for the slim body, enabling flexible shooting from any angle, whether low or high, and even self portraits. In addition, Gesture Control recognizes the palm of the hand when the monitor is rotated to face the user, making it possible for users to perform a number of operations, including releasing the shutter and zooming in and out by simply moving their hand toward the appropriate icon displayed in the monitor. This function can also be used with movie recording.
- Built-in Wi-Fi® that makes connecting with others more fun through easy communications with smart devices
With built-in Wi-Fi®, users can easily transfer* images to smart devices such as smartphones and tablets. Users can easily share high-quality still images captured with the S6600 with friends and family by uploading them to social networking sites. Smart devices can also be used for remote shooting, which is convenient for group photos. In addition, location information acquired by smart devices can be added to images when they are downloaded from the camera.
- *The Wireless Mobile Utility app must first be installed on the smart device (the app can be downloaded free of charge from the smart device’s app store).
- Excellent basic performance for capture of images with superior image quality and detail
- The camera is equipped with a 12x optical zoom NIKKOR lens that covers the wide-angle 25 mm to 300 mm (equivalent focal lengths in 35mm [135] format) range of focal lengths, and offers a built-in lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) function. The lens also supports macro photography with shooting as close as 2 cm to the lens.
- It has an effective pixel count of 16.0-million pixels. The camera is also equipped with an amazing backside illumination CMOS sensor with which each pixel receives light more efficiently for superior high-speed processing performance. This enables capture of images exhibiting little noise at the high sensitivities required for low-light situations such as night landscapes and indoor shooting.
- A wide variety of shooting functions for capturing decisive moments
The camera is also equipped with a number of advanced functions that enable capture of decisive moments so users will never miss a photo opportunity. Among these functions are Target Finding AF, where the user need simply point the camera at the desired subject and the camera instantly predicts and focuses on the intended subject, automatically specifying focus area and focus area size, Scene Auto Selector, which automatically specifies the optimal scene mode, and Smile Timer (Continuous), with which the camera detects smiles and captures up to 5 images continuously so that the perfect smile is never lost.
- Shooting and retouch functions, including advanced red-eye correction and 8 Glamour Retouch options
The red-eye correction function is also capable of natural correction of the red-eye phenomenon for pets such as dogs and cats, and the eight Glamour Retouch options allow users to retouch images to create memorable portraits to emphasize a person’s image and expression.
In addition, Special Effects (applied with shooting) and Quick Effects (applied immediately after shooting or with image playback) have been improved to enable capture of images as intended with simple operation. Among these improvements are the Mirror special effect, which creates a bilaterally symmetric image with which the right half is an inverted mirror image of the left half, and the new Soft Portrait quick effect, which allows users to blur the background to emphasize a human subject.
- Recording of movies with superior picture quality and stereo sound with the press of a button
1920 x 1080/ 60i movies with superior picture quality and stereo sound can be recorded by simply pressing the camera’s movie-record button. In addition, the S6600 offers a movie pause function, with which recording of a single movie file can be paused and then restarted (within 5 minutes). By saving multiple scenes recorded intermittently to eliminate unwanted portions as a single file, users can enjoy playing back one continuous movie. There is also a function for preserving only the desired portion of a movie file.
