The red Nikon COOLPIX L620 Digital Camera is a compact point-and-shoot that features an 18.1 megapixel 1/2.3" BSI CMOS sensor and EXPEED C2 image processor to produce high resolution still imagery and HD 1080i video at 60 fps with impressive low-light quality and sensitivity to ISO 3200. Benefitting from the performance of the image sensor is the built-in NIKKOR 14x optical zoom lens that provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 25-350mm, covering wide-angle to telephoto-length perspectives to suit working in almost any situation. Lens-shift type Vibration Reduction aids the zoom range of this lens by minimizing the appearance of camera shake for sharper imagery when working in dimly-lit conditions and with greater zoom magnifications. Also contributing to producing sharper imagery is a comfortable grip design and Motion Blur Reduction.

For bright, clear viewing, image playback, and for configuring camera settings, a 3.0" 460k-dot LCD monitor is available and the rear and top panel of the camera are intuitively designed, placing all camera controls within easy reach. To creatively enhance imagery, a range of built-in Special Effects can be applied to both stills and movies, including Monochrome, Sepia, and Selective Color. For automatic control over exposure settings, an Easy Auto Mode can be utilized to allow for the camera to determine all exposure settings or, alternatively, Scene Auto Mode can be used to provide 18 different scene modes to choose from depending on the specific conditions. Furthermore, Nikon's Smart Portrait System, Smile Timer, and Target Finding AF will balance focus and camera settings based on a detected subject to ensure proper exposure and sharpness.
