Photo Scenarios

As you go about your business each day, there are moments or situations that come up that you'll want to capture on camera. The Nikon COOLPIX A10 makes for a great partner for taking those everyday shots, whether planned or spontaneous. 

Its important to ensure the celebrant (or special guests) are in clear view in every photo taken. Keeping them in focus while they're moving about is one of the great features that comes with the COOLPIX A10.

Taking photos while underwater is a lot of fun. You'll be able to bathe the subject of your photograph with the colours and hues only found when taking shots in an aquatic environment.

As you make trips around the world, every moment tells a story. For this, a good camera is crucial and the COOLPIX A10 is a great option for travel. It's got a combined zoom capability allowing you get a closer look at items that can't be reached easily.^506^*}

This model from Nikon has got this capability making it a suitable option for your needs. In addition, this model has the ability to select what parts of your frame you would like to focus on before you take the shot.

Style

When you want to stand out from the crowd, the COOLPIX A10 uses bright colours and funky designs to turn heads. This is not your average camera.
