Nikon Coolpix S2
Previous: Page 6
Control OptionsNext: Page 8
Connectivity / ExtrasPicture Quality / Size Options (6.5)
The Coolpix S2 has four size options of 2592 x 1944, 1024 x 768, 2048 x 1536, and 640 x 480. Each size is configured to a specific situation. For example, the 1024 mode is called PC screen and the 640 mode is called TV screen. The highest resolution has two compression settings of High and Normal. The other sizes don’t have that option.
Picture Effects Mode (7.0)
There are several in-camera picture effects available on the Nikon S2. Standard color is the default, but there are also Vivid color, Black & white, Sepia and Cyanotype options available. The standard and vivid color options look very similar; the only difference I could see was in the richness of the brown colors in vivid. The sepia and cyanotype look okay, but the black & white is lacking in contrast. I would say that you can just fix that later, but the included software is missing a contrast tool!
