Quick and capable, the Nikon Coolpix S640 Digital Camera boasts 0.7 second start-up and extremely short shutter release times. From action sports to children at play, Subject Tracking Autofocus locks on to your subject and continuously tracks focus. This incredible technology even works if the subject steps out of the frame and returns within three seconds. Nikon's newly developed Smart Portrait System features Skin Softening - a three level system for smoothing your subject's look. Optical Image Stabilization combined with high ISO 6400 capability ensures stellar contrast and sharpness for all of your photos - even under poor lighting conditions.

At less than 1" thin, the stylish metal camera body easily fits into your pocket and your digital lifestyle. With 12.0 megapixel imaging, a Nikkor 5x optical zoom lens, and SLR-like speed, the Nikon Coolpix S640 Digital Camera makes it easier than ever to capture the moments that matter.

High Resolution Imaging
12.2 megapixels provide ample resolution for stunning prints up to 16 x 20".
Subject Tracking Autofocus
Subject Tracking with its new auto lock-on capability automatically detects a human face and then continues to track and focus on that subject. Particularly useful when capturing children as they move naturally, Subject Tracking even functions if the subject moves out of the frame and returns within three seconds.
5x Nikkor Zoom Lens
This advanced optic provides brilliant coverage for all of your subjects. From sweeping landscapes to sports action photography all of your pictures are captured with stellar sharpness and life-like color.
2.7" Clear Color LCD
The high quality 2.7" Clear Color Display for the Coolpix S640 features an ultra-wide viewing angle, anti-reflection coatings, an antifouling and water repellent layer, and a screen brightness boost function. Automatic color correction and contrast adjustment at playback optimize image quality to match the viewing conditions, while also maximizing power savings. The monitor's new structure greatly reduces reflection and improves visibility outdoors.
Scene Auto Selector
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. The Coolpix S640 uses this intelligent function to analyze the subject and surrounding setting and then automatically selects the most appropriate of the following six scene modes to achieve optimal results: Portrait, Landscape, Night Portrait, Night Landscape, Close-up, or Backlight.
 
Smart Portrait System
Nikon's newly developed Smart Portrait System provides a host of tools to ensure the highest quality portraits possible. The new Skin Softening function automatically detects and analyzes your subject's skin and then adjusts smoothness for enhanced results. Automatically finding up to 12 faces in the shot, Face-Priority Technology helps produce satisfying portraits by adjusting focus and exposure. Smile Timer releases the shutter when the priority subject smiles while the Blink Proof function captures two sequential frames and saves the one in which the subject's eyes are wide open. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically corrects any perceived red-eye effect before saving the image to memory.
4-way Image Stabilization
Nikon's electronic VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization compensates for the effects of camera shake. Motion Detection automatically controls shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for subject movement as well as camera shake. ISO 6400 capability at any image size up to its maximum of 4000 x 3000 pixels allows faster shutter speeds when shooting in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects. Nikon's original BSS (Best Shot Selector) function automatically shoots a series of sequential frames and saves the one with the sharpest focus.
Quick Retouch
Quick Retouch adds professional polish to your photos by automatically creating a retouched copy with the best balance of contrast and saturation.
