Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the release of the COOLPIX S4000 and S3000, S-
series models that incorporate advanced functions in a stylish design.

The COOLPIX S4000 and S3000 are successors to the COOLPIX S230 and S220, cameras that
set record sales worldwide with advanced operations and high performance in a slim, stylish
design available in a variety of colors (the COOLPIX S4000 and COOLPIX S230 are equipped
with a touch panel). The two new cameras offer improved shooting functions for greater
convenience, and the slim body has a high-quality design available in a variety of colors to suit
individual preferences and style. In addition to an effective pixel count of 12-million pixels and a
wide-angle 4x optical zoom NIKKOR lens that begins at 27mm (35mm format equivalent), the
cameras offer several new features including four functions that prevent or reduce blur, smart
portrait mode with a skin softening function, and high-definition movie recording capability (the
COOLPIX S4000 only).

from its predecessor, and new touch panel functions including touch shutter and slider
adjustment of white balance have been included. The new graphical user interface (GUI) makes
for clearer display and improved operation. This comprehensive model offers all basic camera
functions, as well as support for more advanced features such as HD movie recording, making it
extremely practical. It is a stylish model that proposes a more quality camera lifestyle for those
who are sensitive to the latest trends.

This function automatically recognizes human faces and then initiates subject tracking to
follow the movement of the recognized subject. When a face is not automatically
recognized, the target for subject tracking can be manually specified. The camera will
automatically track the specified subject as it moves to continuously keep it in focus. Should
the specified subject temporarily leave the frame for less than three seconds, the camera will
resume tracking it once it re-enters the frame.
