Powered by Nikon's exclusive EXPEED image processing engine, the Coolpix L20 features a selection of three innovative functions that provide the ability to actually improve the quality of images within the camera.

In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically compensates to help eradicate traces of the annoying red-eye effect that can sometimes be encountered during flash photography. And D-Lighting can be applied to improve underexposed images or shots taken with too much backlight. D-Lighting automatically creates a copy of the image with detail added where necessary, but with well-exposed areas left completely untouched. These innovative functions are combined in the cameras Smart Portrait System, along with the smile modes and blink warning feature to assure that your portrait and group shot always look great.
