HDMI support means you can connect your camera to a TV or other external monitor with an optional HDMI cable.The Nikon COOLPIX B700 is an SLR-styled super-zoom with a 60x range, 20 Megapixel resolution and 4k video capability. It also has a detailed electronic viewfinder as well as a 3 inch monitor that’s hinged and can be adjusted to face in any direction. The COOLPIX B700’s lens has a 60x optical range starting at 24mm and extending to 1440mm in 35 equivalent numbers. If you want to see what that looks like practice take a look at the two images below which show the coverage at either end of the range. Working just as well for shooting video as well as stills shots when your subject’s in the distance, quality may not be up there with a CSC or DSLR but in truth it’s pretty respectable, especially given the standard 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor at its heart. This may just mean that you take the Nikon Coolpix B700 to your own heart also... The B500’s flash has a quoted range of 6.9 metres, which might suggest they’re the same, but the B700’s flash is physically bigger and I wouldn’t mind betting that the B500’s flash specification is quoted at a higher ISO rating. Either way, the flash is useful for close subjects and fill-in illumination, but won’t be of much use to you with the lens zoomed in much beyond a portrait focal length of around 80-100mm equivalent. Select Firmware version in the Set up menu and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the firmware update.

A device with Bluetooth ® 4.0 or later (i.e., a device that supports Bluetooth Smart Ready/Low Energy) is required. Next to the viewfinder is a small sensor which automatically turns the viewfinder on and the screen off when you raise the camera to your eye. There’s also a button to turn off the sensor and switch views manually if you prefer. Why would you want to do that? Well sometimes, for example if the camera is mounted on a tripod and you’re shielding the screen from sunlight with your hand, or when you’re shooting from the waist with the screen flipped up, the sensor can detect your hand or body and toggle to the viewfinder when you don’t want it to.

Trade. Create. Here are two 100% crops - the right-hand image has had some sharpening applied in Photoshop. The out-of-the camera images from the Nikon Coolpix B700 are slightly soft at the default sharpening setting and benefit from some further sharpening in a program like Adobe Photoshop. You can alternatively change the in-camera sharpening level to suit your tastes. Want to get closer to your photographic subjects from afar? As in really close?
