The camera -and I am one, as the meisten- is designed for right-handers. With his right hand are accessed wonderfully into the trough, which is also rubberized still great. The rubber coating is not only the front but also the back, where to place the right thumb.
In the second step, I have "geräubert" the packing case: First, you come across an extensive printed manual in German, English, French, Dutch and Italian.
Among well wrapped the black body, a cover for the lens, a USB charger, on the one front clicks the German plug adapter. Furthermore, included a USB cable for data transfer and charging the battery, the battery, the strap and a small cord to secure the lens cover against loss.
Class I find the first-because yes systemfremd- intuitive operation: Open So below the battery compartment, insert battery. After that, I pushed without -very man, the user guide for READ-the power button. Instant "beeps" the Coolpix and know me kindly suggest, but insert a memory card. I'll never forget it, that me with my first digital Canon EOS 300 D times this mishap has happened to have made great photos without a card ...
And since no "current" anything goes ... I recommend directly to to purchase at least one spare battery. What is needed is the type "Lithium-ion Battery EN-EL23".
As a supplement to the user manual provided, I recommend downloading the 236 strong and wrote exclusively in German reference manual. All the functions are explained in detail and well illustrated.
So I inserted a fast 16 GB card. Then I called the camera on, country, enter the date and time. Also it went quickly and without problems.
Once you opened the high-resolution, brilliant display and approaches the electronic viewfinder, the display automatically turns off. Class is that you can adjust the electronic viewfinder of his eyesight accordingly. The camera quickly and accurately sharp. And this it does at wide angle, even at relatively low light (in the office) is still very fast.
How incredible is the focal length range, are the photos document, they were made at a relatively cloudy day with a free hand. I find that incredible. Nikon specifies the focal length, based on the small picture format with 24 mm (almost a super wide angle) to 1,440 mm. And that is already more than a "super telephoto". Of course, this only refers to the focal length, not on the light intensity! For lay people: you get a great deal on the image or things may pick up very close without changing the location.
As you can see at the telephoto shooting, even the image stabilizer works quite excellent. In the photograph an optical image stabilizer doing a great job. When recording motion pictures, it is according to the manufacturer a mixture of an optical stabilizer and an electronic stabilizer.
Something difficulty in focusing, the Coolpix P 610 with moderate light and in relative proximity. Despite the beeping and the green border, some shots were there not focused properly. But that, of course, extreme situations.
To consider of course is that there are "Naheinstellgrenzen". These are wide angle (24 mm) at 50 cm and at the telephoto end at 2 meters. Nevertheless, the camera may not then give the signal "hot".
The film sensitivity ranges up to ISO 6,400. These are but in this chip size is not recommended and should be used because of the strong image noise but only in an emergency. Even ISO 3200 is still borderline here.
The camera has dozens of features that determined the newcomer is at first overwhelmed. The "clipper" stay then but still good programs such as "P", so the program automatic, aperture, shutter speed, etc. automatically controls. Even so it comes in many cases to very good results.
Conclusion:
Among the functions the camera leaves no wish unfulfilled:
- High Resolution
- Good optics
- Large zoom range 24-1440 mm
- Great macro function (in the manual is from 1 m ... in fact I would say from 1 cm in focal length 24 mm!)
- Many programs, fully automatic on scene modes such as landscape program, night program to fully manual settings!
- Photos as great videos to 60 P and 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution
- Great tactile feel
- When flash I would have liked either more power, or the ability to use a dedicated flash.
- Of course it is always subjective, but I personally would have liked a little less like "WIFI" and "GPS" determination, and for a larger chip, the less noisy at higher sensitivities.
As a result, there are -even of a "C. fan ..." - 5 Star (with a small minus) for Nikon P 610th
