Smart portrait mode for consistently beautiful portraits

Skin softening:
Linked to the face-priority function, the camera detects and smoothes skin tones
Face-priority AF:
This function enables not only beautiful portraits, but also makes capturing group photos faster and easier
Smile timer:
The camera recognizes a face and focuses on that face; when that face smiles, the shutter is automatically released
Blink proof:
The camera captures two sequential shots and saves the one in which the subject's eyes are open
Blink warning:
The camera displays a warning message when it detects that the subject may have blinked when the picture was taken
In-Camera Red-Eye Fix:
If the camera detects red-eye in the captured image, digital processing is automatically performed to reduce red-eye before the image is saved

Four features that effectively prevent or reduce blur caused by camera shake and subject movement

Electronic vibration reduction (VR):
Digital compensation applied with image processing to images in which the camera detects blur
Support for high sensitivities:
The camera supports sensitivities up to ISO 3200 for beautiful pictures taken at an image size of 4000 x 3000 pixels
Motion detection:
The camera detects camera shake and subject movement with shooting, and automatically compensates by increasing shutter speed and ISO sensitivity. Blur is reduced to a level equal to a roughly 2-step increase in shutter speed.
Nikon's own BSS (best shot selector):
The camera automatically shoots up to ten sequential frames and saves the one with the sharpest focus

Bodies with a functionally stylish design available in a wide variety of colors

The attractive and stylish camera bodie is designed with a smooth, rounded form and glossy components.

Scene auto selector mode makes capturing beautiful images worry free

Subject tracking automatically tracks subjects to maintain focus

This function automatically recognizes human faces and then initiates subject tracking to follow the movement of the recognized subject. When a face is not automatically recognized, the target for subject tracking can be manually specified. The camera will automatically track the specified subject as it moves to continuously keep it in focus. Should the specified subject temporarily leave the frame for less than three seconds, the camera will resume tracking it once it re-enters the frame.

Easier to use touch panel for intuitive operation

The COOLPIX S4000 offers a number of new functions, including touch shutter for autofocusing and shooting by simply tapping the desired subject in the monitor, subject tracking with which the camera maintains focus on the subject selected by simply tapping it in the monitor, and white balance adjustment using a slider. Intuitive touch panel operation makes picture playback and in-camera editing smooth and fun. The stylus included with the camera can be used to write or draw on pictures and frames and decorations can be added to pictures using the camera's paint function, the shooting date can be added as a decoration anywhere in the image, images can be selected from a thumbnail display, and display of images can be navigated by sliding a finger across the monitor.
