Sensor

The Nikon Coolpix L16 features a 7.1-megapixel CCD (Charge Coupled Device sensor. The camera's ISO is set automatically and has the ability to record images up to a speed of 1600, allowing for low-light photography and the ability to capture faster moving objects. Using a higher ISO setting lets the photographer select a faster shutter speed for sports photography.
Lens

The lens on the Nikon Coolpix L16 is a 3x optical NIKKOR zoom lens. The zoom lens has a 35mm equivalent range of 35mm to 105mm. The maximum aperture for the lens is f2.8 at 35mm and f4.7 at 105mm. The lens does not have image stabilization, but the larger aperture, particularly at the 35mm position, will allow the photographer to use a shutter speed that should help in minimizing the camera shake associated with slower shutter speeds.
Image Quality Improvements
-
While there are no shooting modes to choose from, the camera includes three "innovative" functions to improve image quality, according to Digital Photography Review. Nikon's "Face Priority" automatically locates and focuses on faces for crisp pictures. "In-Camera Red Eye Reduction" fixes red-eye in-camera so you don't have to do it afterward. Finally "D-Lighting" is a feature that can be applied to underexposed images; the camera creates a copy of the image with added detail where the processor feels it is required.
