Description — Nikon S3700
The Nikon COOLPIX S3700 is a point-and-shoot compact camera featuring a 20MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor driven by the Expeed C2 image processor. Its 96 x 58 x 20mm plastic body weighs just 118g, making it one of the easier cameras to slip into a pocket or bag. The 2.7-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots is your window for composing and reviewing shots, supported by an autofocus system that covers 99 areas with contrast detection, face detection AF, and subject tracking. Optical image stabilization (OIS) plus a digital IS mode help keep images sharp.
The ISO 80–3200 range, combined with a built-in flash reaching approximately 2.8 meters, covers a variety of lighting situations. Four color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Black & White, and Sepia — give you some creative flexibility in-camera. Video records at up to 30fps in 8-bit color. Built-in Wi-Fi handles wireless sharing, and images are stored to SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards.
The EN-EL19 battery is rated for approximately 240 shots per charge.
