The COOLPIX S560 offers sharp resolution and the high performance, faithful color reproduction and subtle tones of its optimized processing system and the enhanced compositional freedom of a 5x Zoom-NIKKOR lens.

Unique functions for the COOLPIX S560 help make it easier to shoot beautiful portraits and faithfully record precious smiles. Smile Mode automatically releases the shutter when the selected subject smiles, helping to faithfully record precious smiles in the brief instants they appear.

The Smile Indicator, activated via Portrait mode, displays a gauge that changes when a smile is detected. And Blink Warning displays a message when it detects that a subject has blinked, offers quick magnified visual confirmation, and allows the shot to be retaken immediately and get the desired results.

COOLPIX S560 comes with Nikon’s new Scene Auto Selector mode, which automatically selects the right scene mode for the image you are shooting for trouble-free photography.

Large controls and a comfortable thumb rest provides a great fit and simplify operation. The COOLPIX S560 will be available in a choice of Warm Silver, Blue, Pink, Red, and Black.
