The Nikon Coolpix L14 Digital Camera satisfies a growing demand for advanced photographic capabilities in an easy-to-use camera. It incorporates Nikon In-Camera Innovations and other features to ensure high quality photos and a great picture taking experience. Such features include an enhanced Face Priority AF system, which, when activated, can find and focus on a subject's face before a picture is taken, In-camera Red-Eye Fix which automatically fixes most instances of red-eye in the camera, and D-Lighting that rescues dark or backlit pictures by improving brightness and detail where needed. Furthermore the L14 uses an innovative image processing system, called EXPEED, for enhanced overall digital imaging performance. As an added value, the Coolpix L14 has been engineered to offer superior battery life, making it able to capture an astounding 1,000 shots with the supplied pair of AA Energizer e2 Lithium batteries.
