COOLPIX P310 Primary Features
Nikon optical technologies for stunning landscapes and night landscapes
-NIKKOR lens with fast maximum aperture of f/1.8
A number of Nikon’s optical technologies have been concentrated in the f/1.8 lens built into the P310, resulting in the fastest* lens available with a compact digital camera.
By adopting a high refractive-index lens with a refractive index of 2.0 or higher, which compensates for both curvature of field and spherical aberration, a smaller and lighter camera was achieved. The lens also enables sharper rendering for greater contrast throughout the entire frame.
-4.2x optical zoom lens with built-in lens-shift vibration reduction (VR)
Equipped with a lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) function that offers camera shake compensation equivalent to a four-step increase in shutter speed, the P310 supports capture of sharper images with less blur, even with hand-held shooting. This lens is perfect for capturing landscapes and large group photos with coverage for angles of view for focal lengths beginning at the wide-angle 24 mm to the telephoto 100 mm (equivalents in 35-mm [135] format).
A variety of shooting functions that enable capture of photos as intended
The camera is equipped with a number of shooting and in-camera image editing functions that allow users to enjoy mastering the camera with manual operations. Among these are the four exposure modes–[P], [A], [S], [M], nine special effects, and five filter effects.
What’s more, the P310 beautifully preserves exciting scenes with high-speed continuous shooting of up to five shots at approximately 7 fps* at the maximum image size setting (16M 4608×3456).
-9 Special Effects that can be applied prior to shooting
Images with the desired exposure and color adjustment can be captured with specification from the Special Effects menu prior to shooting. In addition to the Soft, High Key, Low Key, Nostalgic Sepia, and High-contrast Monochrome options available with the P310’s predecessor, the P300, the P310 offers four additional options–a Selective Color option that results in black-and-white images in which only the specified color remains; a Silhouette option that creates silhouette photographs of subjects with a bright background; a Painting option that creates images that look somewhat like paintings; and a High ISO Monochrome option that creates monotone (black-and-white) images intentionally captured at high ISO sensitivities.
-5 Filter Effects for editing photos after they’ve been taken
The camera offers in-camera editing functions for simple image adjustment and enhancement without using a computer. In addition to the Cross Screen, Fisheye, Miniature Effect, and Painting filters available with the P300, the P310 offers an additional Selective Color filter effect.
