Nikon COOLPIX 4300 Digital Camera [4MP 3xOptical]

Product Information

The camera loses detail in the bright white paint surrounding the bay window, a trouble spot for many digicams. To put it plainly, the depth of field is the range where the camera is focused as sharply as possible on the subject part. For example, it has a function to change white balance, gradation compensation, edge enhancement and sensitivity manually, so this makes it possible to change a setting responsive to a subject and ambient situation just like changing a roll film loaded in a film camera. You can power the camera with either the included rechargeable lithium-ion battery or a disposable lithium 2CR5 cell.

Nikon Coolpix 4300 First Look - Digital Photography Review

Inevitably, given its robust nature with its square-ish edges and visible screws, the Nikon Coolpix W300 is chunkier than your average point-and-shoot compact of yore. There is not actually much to get a grip on here, save a raised roughened edge to the faceplate, roughened top plate and shutter release button, and six raised plastic bumps at the back to stop our thumb from slipping and sliding around.The tripod mount is fairly close to the battery hatch, which means that you'll probably have to dismount the Coolpix 4300 for a battery change. I think that most of visitors to this site use the compact digital camera as a substitute for a SLR camera ease-of-use photo. Obvious competitors to rival the toughened qualities and performance of the Nikon Coolpix W300 include the Olympus TG-6, and the Ricoh ‘WG’ family, such as the WG-6 and WG-70. Twelve of Nikon's scene modes were built into the camera, as well as the ability to record 320 × 240 resolution, 15 fps silent video clips in the QuickTime . This aids more adventurous users in not straying deeper than the already impressive 30 metres specified by the W300’s waterproofed capabilities, though in reality most users will be larking about in the hotel pool.

It can be said that the shorter the focal length and the larger the f-number (stop down), the greater the depth of field. Limited manual exposure and focus modes are available, too, although this is really a camera for sophisticated snapshooters who like to tweak the automatic settings, not photographers who want to program their cameras from the ground up. Reproduction in whole or part in any form or medium without specific written permission is prohibited. In this article, we'll go over the basics of colorimetry so you can understand how we measure and plot color, and how colorimeters use this science to confirm your display's color accuracy.The 3-inch, 921K dot resolution LCD is sufficiently clear to compose shots and capture a variety of subjects, though we still needed to enlarge portions of our images in situ to determine they were sufficiently sharp. Still, I preferred it over the cool tones produced by the Manual setting and the very warm cast from the Auto setting. In a spiral type lens like the SQ, the focusing group as the group 1 is moved by the electric cum and the macro photography is realized by using the surplus lens movement amount of the group 1 available in-between the wide angle and the telephoto. Here again, quite a bit of exposure compensation was needed, as the camera's default exposure produced very dark images. While they may not have the same level of sensitivity as newer CMOS sensors, they still deliver decent performance for a 4 MP camera.
