For videographers, the Nikon COOLPIX L810 comes with several features that let your creativity run free. You can shoot movies in different colors for an entirely different feel, choosing a sepia tone for the sake of nostalgia or opting for clean-cut black and white. By picking new options, you are able to give each movie a unique look and keep your films feeling fresh. If you prefer to have more control over your shots, the Nikon COOLPIX L810 allows you to adjust certain settings manually through the Auto mode.
