An Evolved Scene Selector automatically chooses the perfect settings for you. Use its built-in Wi-Fi® and your smartphone to share the moment or control the camera. All these and more are packed in a small body that’s easy to take anywhere.

Wireless freedom

Mighty zoom in a compact camera
The S9600’s high-performance 22x optical zoom lens lets you shoot wide or get up close. This lens delivers outstanding sharpness across its entire focal length. For extreme close-ups, the S9600 offers a 44x Dynamic Fine Zoom.

Seize the day, own the night
Powering the S9600 is a sophisticated 16-megapixel backside illuminated CMOS. This image sensor offers incredibly vivid images in a range of lighting conditions. For night photography, the camera’s Consecutive Shot Combining function combines two consecutive shots for enhanced brightness and details.

Make movie magic
Record Full HD movies with the press of a button. These high-definition videos capture the moment in sharp 1080p/60i format and with stereo sound. You can even delete unwanted segments during playback – eliminating the need for editing software.

Stay sharp
A fast and precise autofocus quickly locks onto your subject, ensuring sharp images every time. Camera shake is never a problem even at full zoom or in dim lighting, thanks to its 5-axis hybrid Vibration Reduction (VR).

Glam up your subjects
Enhance your portrait shots right from the camera. Evolved Glamour Retouch lets you add make-up effects such as Skin Softening, Hide Eye Bags, Lipstick, Mascara, Eye Shadow and more. Want to get even more creative? Choose from dozens of Special Effects and Quick Effects.

Imaging power and slim styling in the palm of your hand
The NIKKOR lens with 22x optical zoom lets you easily capture any moment with all its emotion, smiles or tears, for a true slice of life. When needed, you can count on Dynamic Fine Zoom to double the telephoto range to 44x* without compromising the high resolution. What’s more, a combination of lens-shift and electronic VR (Vibration Reduction) assures a steady picture at any zoom range.

Leave it to the camera to take superb shots
All you do is point the camera. Pre AF will take care of photo opportunities for you as it continues to focus on your intended subject under any zoom condition. Target finding AF automatically finds your intended subject within the frame.

Record Full HD 1080/60i movies with optimized stabilization
5-Axis Hybrid VR enables smooth recording of high-definition Full HD 1080/60i movies even when shooting your family or friends while walking and talking.

Shoot artistically with Glamour retouch and effects
Take more expressive portraits by applying "makeup". After shooting, mix and match from 12 makeup effects to bring out your beauty and radiance. Make ordinary scenes extraordinary with Quick effects applicable to images right after shooting, or use Special effects to capture artistic images exactly as envisioned. Either way, be artistic with your creativity.
