Directly at the beginning of the camera can be operated intuitively. Of course, is a short guide and it is possible to deal more intensively with the device with the help of the reference manual (in PDF format). But those who can not wait can practically start immediately.
The digital camera comes up with a remarkable 28-times optical zoom, with which it is possible to bring even motives front of the lens to which one approaches would practically never been so close. And the results can be quite impressive! Furthermore the L340 over immense 20 megapixels, which are to ensure a perfect picture quality. While alone guarantees a high number of megapixels no detailed photos, but seems (to me as a layman) to tune the composition with the optical components here. Enlarge image sections, edit and print, all without noticeable loss in quality.
Even an amateur photographers is clear: By using the digital zoom, the images are much more blurred and blurred very quickly; the optical zoom is that thus always preferable. (- Digital zoom fully exploited s image 3.) Nevertheless, this - - exceptionally prove useful to represent something from appropriate distance increased, which the human eye so no longer can detect. With a really great resolution but should not be expected.
Besides, the L340 also has some gimmicks to offer in the form of different filters and effects. These include the skin softening (but generally makes the whole image blurry), Selective Color, Fisheye, Miniature effect, paintings and more.
When applied to the photos, the results are then more or less well. Positive is the fact that the original image is preserved and only one additional variation which arises (see Figure 6 -. Toy Camera Effect 2). But as I said, these are mostly a nice gimmick. Good, sharp shot images are perfectly adequate and can be edited on your own PC at will (usually easier, but definitely more precise).
The mode Closeup like it very much. With this selection, the objective of self-driving on the ideal width out to make the object in question into focus and to let everything else blurred in the background (see Figure 4 -. Close mode).
Compared to the photos, the video recordings are already blurred, yet rich this way for smaller recordings from. Because at least language and sounds are captured, it is strong. In order to achieve a more decent picture quality, is to ensure sufficient light source and stability.
My conclusion: With the "Coolpix L340" (and a bit of practice) really succeed fantastic shots, so that the digital camera every ambitious amateur photographers is recommended. Anyway, I'm completely thrilled.
