of pictures and alter each one up to two f/stops in both the plus and minus directions.

You get five shots of the same scene, all of them slightly different in exposure values so

there is sure to be a "perfect" one in there somewhere.

The 990 has white balance options for Automatic, Cloudy, Sunny, Incandescent,

Fluorescent and Speedlight as well as a manual Preset mode to let you perfectly tune

the white balance using a known white value. Even the fixed white balance options are

variable by a factor of +/- 3 steps and there's three different temperature settings for

flourescent lighting.

Setting the white balance is only part of the overall equation of the exposure process.

You can use the Nikon-exclusive 3D color matrix metering that uses a 256- segment

area to determine the best possible exposure for the entire frame. Or the

center-weighted averaging, spot or spot-AF metering modes to nail that perfectly

exposed picture.

One of the most important parts of any modern digital camera is the color LCD display.

This gives you instant feedback on whether or not you got the shot you wanted as well

as displaying camera menus and other important exposure data or camera settings.

The Coolpix 950 had a nice 2" LCD display but it was nearly impossible to see in high

ambient light conditions, especially outdoors in the sun. The LCD used on the 990 is

slightly smaller, measuring 1.8" diagonally, but it is a higher resolution display and

considerably easier to see in bright conditions. Checking the focus or composition of

captured images is a snap using the zoomed playback feature you can freely scroll

around the entire image.

Shooting in Continuous mode with the production model 990 I have been able to

capture 3 frames at full resolution at a speed of about 1fps. Dropping the resolution

down to XGA (1024x768) it captures 8 frames at nearly 2fps. In VGA (640x480)

resolution the capture speed was still about 2fps and the buffer handles around 20

frames. Other rapid capture modes include the VGA Sequence mode that grabs 40

640x480 shots at 2fps or the Ultra High Speed QVGA (320x240) capture mode that

grabs up to 80 shots at 30fps speed.

The menu system is extensive but rather easily navigated once you learn to use the

quick tabs on the left side. With the Coolpix 950 you had to cruise through all of the

menu screens to get to the last one but with the 990 you can "jump" to different

subsections using the 1, 2, or 3 tabs. The 4-way jog switch makes things much easier

too and some of the main menu items can be selected and then quickly changed by

rotating the command dial. With this many options the camera has to have a rather

complex menu system but I think it is much easier than the way it was on the 950.

Another new feature on the 990 is the ability to select the video output format between

NTSC and PAL. This was always the major distinction between the U.S. and European

models but now the only way to tell them apart is by the color scheme used on the body

of the camera. The U.S. and North American cameras will sport a charcoal grey

textured body with a purple colored finger grip. The European model will look like the

Coolpix 950 with the familiar black and red scheme. I wasn't crazy about the "purple"
