New king of the Coolpix hill
Automatic and manual controls
In the automatic recording mode, the exposure and colour balance settings are automatically controlled by the TTL White Balance and 256-segment Matrix Metering, allowing for nicely-lit photos in any lighting condition.
On the other hand, the manual mode lets the more experienced photographers take full control of all the camera functions.
They include a user-selectable five-area multi autofocus with 7,123 steps (found commonly in SLR cameras), 50-step manual focus, four preset exposure and a macro mode (for shots as close as 2cm).
In addition to a user-defined white balance mode, the CoolPix camera comes with a new White Balance Bracketing function that allows you to shoot the same scene with three different white balance settings. This supposedly helps ensure better colour accuracy in all lighting conditions.
A Saturation Control Mode also lets you modify the appearance of colours in your images in four steps, plus Black and White. Other manual controls include brightness and contrast compensation, sharpness and ISO sensitivity (ISO 100 to 800).
Features aplenty
One interesting new feature that can be found on the CoolPix 995 is the Quick Review function. This allows users to conveniently view recorded images at the press of a button, even in capture mode. A noise reduction mode also helps enhance the pictures captured in long exposure shots.
If the built-in pop-up flash (which Nikon calls Speedlight) is not sufficient, an external flash unit can be connected through a flash sync terminal and mounted using an separate Multi-Flash Bracket Unit (SK-E900). Up to five optional converter lenses can be also added for variations in shot perspective.
