PictureProject Software
Fifteen programmed Scene Modes make it easy to
capture optimal results in the most diverse shooting
situations. With the COOLPIX 8800, anyone, even a
novice photographer, can take great images simply by
choosing the appropriate mode for the next picture.
Nikon is proud to introduce the
next generation of imaging soft-
ware, Nikon PictureProject.
Nikon PictureProject™ is a fast and powerful
tool for organizing and working with your
pictures easily and intuitively.
PictureProject will let you transfer your pictures from your camera seamlessly.
You can then edit, remove red-eye, enhance, crop, print, e-mail, post pictures
to the web or create a photo album.You can even publish them to your PDA,
create slideshows with music or stitch together a number of pictures to create
a stunning panorama.
With Nikon PictureProject you can spend more time taking pictures instead of
managing them and then easily store, organize and share your memories.
PictureProject will work with Windows® 98SE, 2000, ME & XP as well as Mac
OS® X (10.1.5 or later).
Portrait
Emphasizes a subject with natural
skin tones against a soft, pleasing
background.
Close Up
With precise manual focus area selection
and appropriate coloration, this mode
makes detailed subjects stand out from
the background.
Landscape
Emphasizing depth-of-field, this mode captures distant scenes sharply and clearly,
for postcard-like landscape pictures.
Panorama Assist
Allows you to take several side-by-side images, all at the same exposure and white
balance setting, then combine them later using the “Panorama Maker™” photo
editing software (supplied) to create spectacular wide-vista photos.
Continuous shooting at 2.3 fps
Now you can take up to five full-size, 8-megapixel (3,264 x 2,448) images
at 2.3 frames per second.
AE Best Shot Selector:
AE-BSS for the proper exposure
AE-BSS (Auto Exposure -
Best Shot Selector)
automatically selects the best
relative exposure from a series
of consecutive images. Select
from three modes: Highlight
mode, Shadow mode, and
Histogram mode.

If rock steady images matter, vibration reduction matters.
Without Vibration Reduction
With Vibration Reduction
Vibration Reduction (VR) lets you take shots up to 3 stops slower than without VR.
Vibration Reduction (VR) lets you take shots up to 3 stops slower than without VR.
8-megapixel resolution
The COOLPIX 8800 and
its newly developed CCD
offer 8.0 effective
megapixels for an
astounding high resolution
of 3,264 x 2,448 pixels. Quality like this
makes images of exceptionally high definition
possible — even when cropped.
10x Zoom-Nikkor ED lens
The 10x zoom gives
you the power of a
35-350mm (35mm
equiv.) lens, while
Macro capability lets
you get as close as
1.2 in. (3cm). This combination is supported
by Nikon’s world-renowned optical
technology, with two Pro-Quality ED
glass elements delivering crisp, clear images
while minimizing chromatic abberation —
all of which helps realize the full potential
of 8.0 effective megapixels
Lifelike image reproduction
The COOLPIX 8800’s exclusive image
processing technology takes true-to-life
images a step closer to reality.
A 256-segment Matrix Metering
system enables optimal exposures in even
the most challenging lighting environments,
while Matrix Auto White Balance
neutralizes color deviations created by
ambient light sources. Both advanced
features allow the COOLPIX 8800 to
preserve a faithful reproduction of color,
detail and gradation.
