Available for the very first time, the Pictmotion function lets users create so much more than a slideshow – in fact, it’s an imaginative function offering totally new in-camera entertainment. Allowing users to select favorite image and movie files, pick a style, and then select a music file from one of 5 pre-installed in the camera, or even add their own music (via PictureProject for Windows only) to suit the show, Pictmotion automatically analyzes all the aforementioned elements to produce highly entertaining shows with pace and transition selected to match music and style. These shows can then be played back anywhere, anytime on the ample-sized LCD monitors (COOLPIX S5: 2.5-inch; S6: 3.0-inch), and because each of these monitors offers a surprisingly wide viewing angle of 170° (both horizontal and vertical), such in-camera entertainment can be enjoyed by everyone at the same time. Both cameras also feature Auto Image Rotation, which detects pictures that have been taken with the camera held vertically, automatically rotating them to suit in-camera LCD playback.

With the COOLPIX S5 and S6, image quality is also pleasingly high. Both cameras offer a 1/2.5-inch CCD and 6.0 effective megapixel resolution to produce images that stay sharp even when significantly enlarged. They also each feature a superior quality 3x Zoom-Nikkor ED lens with a range of 35-105mm (35mm equivalent) that gives the photographer the freedom to zoom out for beautiful landscapes, zoom in for tightly composed portraits, and enjoy macro photography from as close as 4cm.
