Its 12x optical zoom (25mm - 300mm equivalent in 35mm format) and 24x Dynamic Fine Zoom*1 (approximately 600mm equivalent in 35mm format) means you can get up close to your subject and capture all the magic in the details. Target finding autofocus minimises effort on your part, as it automatically focuses on the subject you’re aiming at.
View life from new perspectives
With the new 3-inch vari-angle touch screen monitor, you can now snap away from a diverse range of angles and compose truly unique images. Self-portraits are just as easy to capture with the all-new front shutter-release button. If you prefer a selfie beyond arm’s reach, take advantage of the improved Evolved Gesture Control. It tracks your palm when you’re in front of the camera, so you can enjoy a convenient, hands-free way of capturing self-portraits in both stills and videos. The COOLPIX S6900 even comes with a built-in camera stand so you can take pictures with more stability. It’s time for “ready, steady, shoot”.
