 Nikon Pictmotion software : Nikon Corporation has taken photographic enjoyment to new heights with the launch of Nikon Pictmotion, a unique feature that makes sharing the joy of photography easier, more entertaining and more advanced. Nikon Pictmotion software will be included in-camera in the soon available stylish Nikon Coolpix S5 and S6 digital cameras, enabling recorded image and movie files to be combined with music and visual themes to produce intuitive in-camera shows that put the emphasis on fun and freedom. Containing patented technologies from muvee Technologies Pte. Ltd., Pictmotion equips the Nikon S5 and S6 with an embedded function similar to the muvee feature previously available with Nikon PictureProject software.

 Nikon Pictmotion - Slideshow
Because of the incorporated patented technologies from muvee Technologies the photographer is able to automatically analyse selected images, movies, styles, music and settings to produce creative, compelling slideshow productions that are easy to make and exciting to show. And because the software is in-camera, users can make and view their Pictmotion productions on the go, save them to memory, and enjoy playing them back again and again anywhere, without the need for a PC.
Nikon Pictmotion slideshow software - Picture and Movie
Available whenever a memory card is inserted in the camera, Pictmotion lets users select the images they wish to appear in the show. Using the simple and intuitive menu, coupled with a handy Rotary multi selector, the user can wither select all the images stored, or select files individually: they can even select files according to the date they were taken. Pictmotion shows can be made from movies, too, displaying a portion of each included file. Users can also adjust the order of playback in Pictmotion shows with a choice of Random or Play In Order settings.
Pictmotion software - Audio tracks
On the creative side, Pictmotion lets users select the music they wish to accompany their slide show from up to eight tracks. Five well-known tracks are pre-installed on the Nikon Coolpix S5 and S6, arranged and optimized for playback clarity on the LCD or a TV: comprising "Pachelbel Kanon", "Scarborough Fair", "Pomp and Circumstance March", "Turkish March" and "Grandfather’s Clock". In addition to these five tracks, by using Nikon’s innovative PictureProject software (included with the camera), users can save up to three soundtracks to a memory card, each up to three minutes long, for use in a Pictmotion show (Via PictureProject for Windows only). This flexibility means users can personalize their shows by selecting the music and sounds that perfectly match the chosen images or muvee clips.
Nikon Pictmotion - Styles and Effects
Pictmotion users can select from a range of muvee production styles comprising "Classic", "Moody", "Motion", "Pro-slow" and "Pro-fast". Once the images, movies, music and styles have been chosen, users are free to proceed, with the Pictmotion function cleverly processing all elements in-camera to produce an impressive slideshow with pace and transitions determined by the music and choice of style. Users can then enjoy the finished Pictmotion show, with three superior design elements of the Nikon Coolpix S5 and S6 working together to make the very most of the experience: the Rotary multi selector enabling easy control the larger, improved speakers of the Nikon S5 and S6 providing a higher quality of sound playback the large 2.5- and 3.0-inch LCDs of the respective cameras offering an impressively wide 170-degree viewing angle that make it easy for everyone to see.
Nikon Pictmotion creative software - Portable entertainment
The joy and fun of using Pictmotion extends beyond the camera. The latest version of Nikon’s unique PictureProject software that comes bundled with both the Nikon Coolpix S5 and S6 offers a Pictmotion function with a broader range of features for use on PCs (such as the ability to save and play back each Pictmotion show on a PC) or to save it to a DVD for sharing. This means users can enjoy Pictmotion whenever they are at home and take the more accessible, in-camera version with them when they are out and about with their camera.
