Capture what’s happening from wide-angle to telephoto

This slim camera offers 8x optical zoom, and using Dynamic Fine Zoom you can increase zoom capability to 16x without compromising the high resolution. Optical VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization helps to provide a steady picture at any zoom range. And with 4-Axis Hybrid VR, you can shoot beautifully steady movie clips even while walking.

Image quality that your beautiful memories deserve

20.1 effective megapixels deliver detailed, high-resolution images. Each shot is taken with optimized settings thanks to Scene Auto Selector which chooses the appropriate mode from among 10 different scene modes. Subjects will be clearly in focus thanks to Target Finding AF which automatically detects your intended subject within the frame.

Slim styling to pick up and go

This stylishly slim camera slips in and out of your pocket or handbag without a snag. Its mobile design is quality-intensive down to the stylish details and color which are as unique as you.

Stay connected

Install Nikon's SnapBridge app on a compatible smartphone or tablet* and unlock exciting new capabilities with the COOLPIX A300. Built-in Wi-Fi®, NFC and Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) maintain a connection between the app and your camera, so each shot you take automatically transfers to your smartphone or tablet for sharing, editing with photo apps or uploading to your favorite sites. You can even use the SnapBridge app to control your camera remotely!

Create appealing images

Get lots of “likes” by shooting in Smart Portrait System which lets you make your friends look even better than before or create a special mood in-camera before shooting, and even automatically take a picture when the subject smiles. Plus you’ll have 12 Glamour retouch effects to apply to already-shot images as well. If expansive scenery is your thing, use Panorama assist to stitch multiple shots together into a single panorama.
