Camera Overview — Nikon Coolpix S4000

The Nikon COOLPIX S4000 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 12MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format, powered by Nikon's Expeed C2 image processor. One of its standout features is the 3.0-inch TFT LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 460,000 dots, giving users a responsive, touch-driven shooting experience that was notable in its class. The camera covers an ISO range of 80 to 3200, offering flexibility across a variety of lighting situations.

For autofocus, the S4000 uses a contrast detection system with 9 focus points and subject tracking enabled, helping keep moving subjects in frame. Image stabilization is handled electronically via Digital/Electronic IS. The built-in flash supports multiple modes including Auto, On, Off, Red-eye reduction, Fill-in, and Slow Sync, making it adaptable to different flash needs without any accessory required.

Video is recorded at up to 30fps in 8-bit color with a Standard color profile. The body is constructed from a plastic/metal composite, weighs just 131g, and measures 94.5 x 56.5 x 20.4 mm — genuinely pocketable. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or internal memory.
