 Nikon L6 camera - Battery life
The Nikon L6 delivers the world's longest battery life, being able to shoot up to an incredible 1,000 images when using the supplied Energizer lithium AA-size batteries! Highly convenient, such extended battery life is ideally suited to travel or when capturing important events, such as a wedding, where you can't afford to run out of power. A choice of 15 Scenes makes it easy to achieve optimal results in a wide range of shooting conditions. Simply select the Scene mode most closely corresponding to the scene at hand and the Nikon L6 chooses the best settings for pleasing results. Four of the Scene modes also feature Scene assist.

The Nikon Coolpix L6 offers light sensitivity beyond conventional compact digitals, too, with settings up to ISO 800. This means users can shoot pictures in lower light without having to use a long exposure. It also allows users to select higher shutter speeds for the capture of fast-moving subjects. And because the Nikon Coolpix L6 has a large, easy-to-view 115,000-dot 2.5-inch LCD monitor, it supports smooth composition as well as enjoyable image playback anywhere.
