Nikon Single Lens Reflex (SLR) lenses' optical quality made compact

Lens quality is just one of the reasons why professional photographers choose Nikon. But why should pro's grab all of the advantages? Now, just like our interchangeable pro-standard SLR lenses, the Lite•Touch Zoom 150ED uses Nikon

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass to minimise chromatic aberration (for clearer colour and contrast), and two aspherical lens elements to minimise distortion.

But Why Should nges? Now, just like standard SLR lenses, D uses Nikon ED Lens Aspherical Lenses

Light up my life!

Four flash modes provide the versatility you need to capture every precious memory in a positive light.

Auto Flash

You'll never have to worry about whether you need the flash or not. The Lite•Touch Zoom 150ED determines when to use it and fires automatically.

And an intelligent SPD (silicon-photodiode)

sensor determines when a scene is backlit, firing the Auto Flash to achieve just the right balance of foreground and background illumination.

Now, you can take great photos even in low light or when your subject is lit from behind.
