COOLPIX L22/L21
(03-02-2010)
Carefree operation and high performance combined for consistently great pictures
Tokyo — Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the COOLPIX L22 and L21. Combining the precision optics of a NIKKOR lens with the image quality and performance benefits of Nikon's innovative EXPEED digital image-processing concept, the COOLPIX L22 and L21 are quality compact digital cameras that combine high performance with outstanding operating ease.
Intuitive and automated operation ensures carefree command over the high performance features of the COOLPIX L22 and L21. Activated in Easy Auto Mode, Nikon’s Scene Auto Selector makes capturing special moments as easy as turning on the camera and shooting without worrying about any settings. Electronic VR image stabilization, Motion Detection, Nikon’s BSS (Best Shot Selector) function and ISO 1600 capability help ensure sharper results in lower light, or when capturing fast-moving subjects.
The COOLPIX L22 and L21 are powered by AA size/R6 batteries, for the added advantage of being able to pick up a new set in virtually any corner of the world. The COOLPIX L22 and L21 provide reassuring freedom from any worries about recharging or running out of power when a special shutter chance presents itself.
Large high-resolution 3-in. (L22) and 2.5-in. (L21) LCD monitors offer a bright image that is a pleasure to view, even outdoors. Controls are sized and placed to ensure intuitive operation. For example, dedicated buttons on the back of the body make it easy to switch between shooting and playback modes. And the contours of the large thumb rest and the body itself assure a solid grip. Design is just one aspect of the COOLPIX L22 and L21 that combines beauty and functionality.
The COOLPIX L22 will be available in Champagne Silver, Black, Red and Blue. The COOLPIX L21 will be available in Champagne Silver, Brown and Pink. (Color name and color availability may vary according to region.)

Nikon COOLPIX L22 and L21 Feature Highlights
Intelligent automation contributes to carefree shooting
Easy Auto Mode simplifies photography by taking control of settings; just turn on the camera and shoot freely. Activated in Easy Auto Mode, Nikon’s Scene Auto Selector eliminates the need to manually select a scene mode to match the shot, making it faster and easier to capture the moment in beautiful fashion. The COOLPIX L22 and L21 use this intelligent function to analyze the subject and its surrounding settings and automatically select the most appropriate scene mode to achieve optimal results.
Nikon’s exclusive Smart Portrait System
Automatically detecting as many as 12 faces in the shot, Face-priority AF helps produce satisfying portraits by adjusting focus and exposure. Smart Portrait Mode* helps to faithfully record precious moments by automatically releasing the shutter when the subject smiles. Blink Warning displays an alert when it suspects that a subject has blinked. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically corrects perceived red-eye effect before saving the image to memory.
*The Smart Portrait Mode function for the COOLPIX L22, L21 and L110 operates in the same fashion as the Smile Mode function for other models.
Advanced image stabilizing features* help ensure sharper results
Nikon's Electronic VR image stabilization and Motion Detection compensate for subject movement as well as camera shake. Nikon’s original BSS (Best Shot Selector) function automatically shoots a series of sequential frames and saves the one with the sharpest focus.
* The camera selects and uses only the features required to optimize each image.
