Nikon B700 Coolpix Digital Compact Camera - Black

Product Information

Movies are encoded as MPEG-4 files and saved in the same folder as photos. The limit on continuous movie recording is 29 minutes or when the file size reaches 4GB. If you’re using the 4K mode you’ll bump up against the 4GB file size limit in around ten minutes. The B700 is the latest Nikon compact to benefit from the company’s new Snapbridge technology. The camera has built-in Wifi, NFC and Bluetooth chips. The low-power Bluetooth connection can be used to automatically transfer photos to your smartphone as well as tag photos in the camera with geolocation data and watermarks. Wifi is used for more conventional manual selection and wireless transfer of photos to your phone and the NFC chip provides tap-to-connect for suitably equipped Android phones. All of this is handled by the SnapBridge iOS or Android smartphone app.

Fixed an issue that resulted in unreliable connections between the camera and the iOS 10.2 version of the SnapBridge app.Using a card slot or card reader, copy the “firmware” folder to a memory card that has been formatted in the camera.

The B700’s 20 Megapixel sensor supports 4k UHD video and as well as PASM exposure modes for stills shooting it has a raft of scene and feature modes. There’s a 3 inch 921k dot vari-angle screen which can face any direction and a 0.2in 921k electronic viewfinder which is particularly useful when using the zoom at or near its maximum range. Selecting the PASM modes from the mode dial allows you to select aperture and shutter speed where appropriate using a combination of the multi-selector dial and the thumb-operated rear control dial. The multi-selector controls the aperture and the control dial the shutter speed. That means in Aperture and Shutter priority modes either one or the other is redundant, which is a shame. It would be good to be able to configure the redundant dial for exposure compensation, or even ISO sensitivity. Just above these controls, sitting beneath the spring-loaded pop up flash, is the button for raising said bulb. Give this a press and the flash immediately reveals itself. Interestingly, Nikon has embedded the B700’s built in stereo microphone in the hood of this flash. Shoot impressively smooth movies in 4K Ultra High Definition (3840x2160/30p) – ensuring that your recordings are state-of-the-art and future-proof as 4K UHD becomes standard – with great sound quality from the zoom microphone, which adjusts directivity along with zoom operation. Start filming instantly with a dedicated movie-record button. HDMI support means you can connect your camera to a TV or other external monitor with an optional HDMI cable.If you're looking for a lot of optical zoom, in an ultra-zoom bridge camera, designed to "Do-it-all", then the Nikon Coolpix B700 does a good job of providing almost everything you could possibly want, including 4K video recording, a 60x optical zoom lens, a vari-angle 3inch screen, a built-in electronic viewfinder, built-in Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth, manual controls, raw shooting, and more.
