About the Nikon Coolpix S9700

Eric A.

Zoom in for razor-sharp detail

The Nikon Coolpix S9700 fits in your pocket, but it doesn't act like a small camera. Optical zoom brings your subject up to 30X closer, so you can photograph it in living color and crisp detail. No more tiny dots on a faraway stage — prove you were there with a close-up of the performer's face. That's not to say this camera is a one-trick pony, though. Macro mode provides stunning texture and color when you're focused on a honeybee in a flower, as well. If it's video you're after, the camera can record full HD movies as well.

Tag and upload photos with built-in GPS and Wi-Fi®

The S9700 is a great choice for a vacation camera. Not only can it capture images close-up and faraway, but it can upload your photos and videos to a mobile device instantly. That means you can share your adventures as they happen. And the camera's built-in GPS will let everyone know exactly where you were when you saw that beautiful sunset or unusual bird. Make sure you remember the name of that fantastic beach so you can go back and visit again in the future.

Get hands-on when and if you want to

If you're new to photography, the Coolpix S9700 can help. Frame your shots perfectly with the 3" OLED viewscreen, or use it to check your shots immediately and take them again if you don't like what you see. Intelligent autofocus keeps your subject looking sharp, and preset scene modes match the camera's settings to your environment in a snap. If you're ready to take more control, just turn the dial on top of the camera to enter the creative world of manual shooting. In-camera editing features allow you to erase red-eye or do a quick touch-up on the spot.

Recording Features

Overview: The Nikon Coolpix S9700 allows you to create beautiful photos and Full HD videos and instantly share them right from your camera using the built-in Wi-Fi. The camera also has a built-in GPS receiver, which can record location data with every photo and video you take, so you can see on a map exactly where you've been.

3.0" OLED Monitor: The Coolpix S9700 has a 3.0" OLED monitor, featuring approximately 921,000 dots, and an anti-reflection coating. The monitor has a 98% horizontal and vertical frame coverage for shooting and 100% for playback. You can adjust the brightness of the monitor from -2 to +2.

Note: There is no separate viewfinder on the camera.

Image Sensor: The Coolpix S9700 features a 1/2.3" CMOS image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately 16.79-million pixels. The effective pixel count is 16.0-million.

Optics: The Coolpix S9700 uses a 30x NIKKOR glass lens for superb image quality. The 4.5-135mm lens has an angle of view equivalent to that of a 25-750mm lens in 35mm photography. Coupled with the 4x digital zoom, the camera's total zoom capability is 120x. The angle of view is equivalent to that of an approximately 3000mm lens (35mm format).

The Wireless Mobile Utility application must be installed on the device. While the camera is connected to the smart device, you can take pictures remotely, download pictures as they are taken, view and/or download existing pictures on the camera, and share pictures via email or upload them to photo-sharing sites.

Global Positioning System (GPS): The Coolpix S9700 is equipped with a GPS receiver, which, when enabled, encodes time and positioning data into your photos. All your image and movie files are geotagged, providing a visual travelogue that pinpoints the places you have been. These files can be integrated with many photo sharing sites, Google Maps, and Google+ to display maps showing where the photo was taken. In addition, the camera features an Electronic Compass and built-in mapping with Points of Interest to indicate nearby scenic and historic landmarks.

  • Multi-shot 16: Each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera captures a series of 16 images and saves them as a single image. Frame rate is 30 fps, and the image is fixed at 5M 2560 x 1920.

Self-timer: The camera is equipped with a 10-second self-timer for self-portraits or a 2-second to prevent camera shake caused by pressing the shutter release button.
