ISO 1600:1990 Plastics - Cellulose acetate - Determination of light absorption on moulded specimens produced using different periods of heating This method is intended for cellulose acetate having an acetic acid yield of 54% ± 2.5%. It may also be applicable to other transparent plastics which are not strongly coloured and which can be moulded under the specified conditions. Two measurements of absorption, one at the red end and one at the blue end of the visible spectrum, are sufficient to characterize the absorption of light by the material. Describes the preparation of the material, two methods for the incorporation of plasticizers and die moulding of the test specimen. For the determination of the initial optical density, specimens given the smallest practicable amount of heating are used.
The optical density at 25 mm thickness is calculated as the initial light absorption. The light absorption after further heating is obtained by similar measurements on specimens prepared using a longer period of heating during moulding.
DCRP Review: Nikon Coolpix S7c by, DCRP Founder/Editor Originally posted: January 30, 2007 Last Updated: January 22, 2012 Advertisement The ($350) is the update to the Coolpix S6, which was one of Nikon's first cameras to support Wi-Fi. The S7c supports Wi-Fi too - in fact, it's been enhanced over its predecessor. While before you could just transfer photos to your computer wirelessly, the S7c lets you e-mail photos right from your camera, from almost any Wi-Fi access point. It's even preset for T-Mobile Hotspots (usually found at Starbucks), so you can send some photos while sipping your double americano. Other new features on the S7c include more pixels (7MP vs 6MP on the S6), a slightly different lens (in terms of maximum aperture), a more powerful flash, Electronic Vibration Reduction, and new high ISO options.
What hasn't changed? The S7c still has a huge 3-inch LCD, fancy slideshow feature, and VGA movie mode. Before we start the review, I have to knock Nikon for some rather questionable product labeling. If you're shopping for a camera and look at the S7c or its box, you might be mislead about its Vibration Reduction (image stabilization) capability. Have a look at this: On the box: VR - Vibration reduction 'VR' is not only on the sticker, it's even on the camera itself. Nowheredoes it say that it's electronic So, according to the labels on both the camera and the box, the S7c has Vibration Reduction / image stabilization.
And that's what I thought for a while, until I started using the camera. I noticed that there was only an 'electronic VR' option available. After checking the manual (and confirming with Nikon), it turns out that VR on the S7c is nothing more than some post-shot sharpening.
Nikon Camera Accessories
Pretty misleading if you ask me. Okay, rant over. Read on to find out how the S7c performs in the crowded ultra-compact field! What's in the Box? The Coolpix S7c has an average bundle. Inside the box you'll find:. The 7.1 Megapixel Coolpix S7c digital camera.
EN-EL8 rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Battery charger / AC adapter. Cool-Station camera dock. Wrist strap. USB cable. A/V cable.
CD-ROM featuring Nikon PictureProject / Wireless Camera Setup Utility. Fold-out Quick Start guide + 185 page camera manual (both printed) Last year Nikon started building memory into their cameras instead of putting a memory card in the box. And, in one of those 'what were they thinking?' Moves, Nikon put less memory into the higher resolution Coolpix S7c than they did on the S6. That camera had 20MB, and the S7c has just 14MB.
You can fit just four photos at the highest quality setting into that amount of memory, so consider a large memory card to be a required purchase. Since it's 7 Megapixel, I'd recommend getting at least a 512MB memory card for the S7c. The camera can use SD or MMC memory cards, and spending the extra bucks on a high speed card is worth it (no need to go overboard, though).
The Coolpix S7c uses the same EN-EL8 lithium-ion battery as its predecessor. With just 2.7 Wh of energy, you wouldn't expect stellar battery life numbers out of the camera. So what does it get?
ISO 100 ISO 200 ISO 400 ISO 800 ISO 1600 The results are very nice at ISO 50 and 100, as you'd expect. We start to pick up a bit of noise at ISO 200, but its not enough to prevent you from making fairly large prints.
Things get a bit worse at ISO 400, limiting you to smaller sized prints, but the S7c is competitive with other cameras in its class at this point. Things go downhill rapidly at ISO 800, with significant smudging from noise reduction, and let's not even talk about ISO 1600.
These are for desperation only! The Coolpix S7c has basically inherited the same image quality traits (both good and bad) from its predecessor, the Coolpix S6. That means you get well-exposed, colorful images, with low noise levels and minimal purple fringing. Unfortunately, that also means that you get significant blurring around the edges of the frame, noticeable vignetting, and an overall soft appearance to photos ( is a wonderful example of all three).
The S7c's poor lens is really being pushed to the limits, and it shows. All ultra-compact cameras have some issues like this, but the S7c is definitely worse than average. These things won't matter too much if you're primarily making small prints, but large prints and on-screen viewing will show the negatives that I just mentioned. As always, don't just take my words as gospel. Have a look at our and decide for yourself if the S7c's photo quality meets your expectations. Movie Mode The Coolpix S7c has a very good movie mode.
You can record video at 640 x 480 (30 frames/second) until the memory card is full. It takes just 12 seconds to fill up the internal memory, so you'll want a large memory card for longer movies. A 1GB card holds about 14 minutes worth of video.
For longer movies you can lower the resolution or the frame rate (or both). You can drop the resolution down to 320 x 240 or 160 x 120, with frame rates of 15 or 30 fps for the former and 15 fps for the latter. There are a few other interesting movie features worth a mention. The Pictmotion mode records up to a minute of video at 320 x 240 (15 fps), which Nikon says is perfect for the Pictmotion feature that I'll tell you about in a minute.
The time-lapse movie mode works a lot like the interval shooting feature that I mentioned in the previous section, except that you get a VGA-sized silent movie instead of individual images. Finally, the S7c has a stop-motion movie mode, which lets you take a bunch of shots (up to 1800) and then assemble them into a silent VGA movie - so if you want to make your own 'Nightmare Before Christmas', here's your chance. As is usually the case, you cannot use the optical zoom while recording your movie. You can, however, use up to 2X worth of digital zoom. The camera can focus before you start recording or continuously, though the noise from the latter may be picked up by the microphone.
The electronic vibration feature can be used here as well. Like other recent Nikon cameras that I've tested, there appears to be a audio/video sync issue in the movie mode. Check out our sample movie below to see what I mean. Can't view them? Playback Mode The Coolpix S7c has a pretty nice playback mode.
Basic features such as DPOF print marking, image protection, voice captions (up to 20 seconds worth), thumbnail mode, and zoom and scroll are all here. This last feature lets you enlarge your photo by as much as ten times so you can make sure everything's in focus. I don't like how the camera jumps from one area of the photo to another, though (it's not smooth scrolling like on most other cameras). The S7c has a fancy slideshow feature, similar to those found on select Sony cameras. The Pictmotion feature lets you select the photos you want, pick transitions and a soundtrack, and off you go. You can view your movies or create custom soundtracks on your Windows-based PCs, but Mac users are left out in the cold here. While the S7c supports in-camera resizing and cropping, I can't seem to find a way to rotate images.
Both the D-Lighting and eVR features can be found here, and I described both of these earlier in the review. There are two ways to navigate your photos by date. You can just pick the date in via a menu option, or you can bring up the calendar shown above. A copy function lets you move photos from the internal memory to a memory card and vice versa. I also like how you can delete a group of photos, instead of just one or all of them, Unfortunately the S7c doesn't tell you much about your photos. What you see above is all you get!

The cameras move through photos at an average pace, showing a low resolution image instantly, with the higher resolution image arriving about a second later. How Does it Compare? The Nikon Coolpix S7c tries to be the ultimate ultra-compact camera. Offering a 7.1 Megapixel CCD, 3X Nikkor lens, a huge 3-inch LCD, Wi-Fi, and the two gimmicks du jour (face detection and high sensitivity mode), it does just about everything. Unfortunately, it doesn't do them terribly well.
The S7c is mediocre at best, especially with the tough competition out there. While the S7c has some nice features, there are better cameras out there for the money. The Coolpix S7c looks almost identical to its predecessor, the S6. It has a graphite-colored metal body with a unique 'wave design '. The camera has a conventional 3X zoom lens with a 35 - 105 mm focal range, though the folded optics design used here (and on many other cameras in this class) really hurts image quality - but more on that later. The camera is fairly easy to hold, but the 'micro buttons' on the top of it are just terrible. You can't miss the LCD on the S7c - it's huge.
Three inches in size and packing 230,000 pixels, the LCD is a sight to behold. It's sharp, and has a wide viewing angle. Visibility was good in both dimly lit rooms and bright outdoor light. As you might expect, there's no optical viewfinder on the camera. The S7c is one of the few non-Kodak cameras to have an IMAGELINK port on the bottom, which mates the camera to its dock and/or power cable.
The dock is, unfortunately, required for USB or A/V output. To make matters worse, the S7c does not support the USB 2.0 High Speed protocol.
The camera can also be used with Kodak's printer docks. The S7c is chock full of point-and-shoot features. You've got your scene modes (including Nikon's trademark 'assist modes'), Best Shot Selector, D-Lighting, and face detection. I wasn't terribly impressed with the face detection feature - other cameras do it better. D-Lighting works as promised, though. If you read the intro to this review then you already know about the deceptive labeling on the camera.
Despite what it says on the box and on the camera, the camera does not have 'real' Vibration Reduction - it's only a post-shot sharpening filter. This feature didn't impress me much anyway - the camera chooses when it can be applied, and quite often it wouldn't let you use it when a photo needed it. If you like fancy slideshows, then you'll enjoy the Pictmotion feature, which supports transitions and background music. The camera also has a VGA movie mode that records at 30 frames/second, though it suffers from the same A/V sync issues that the Coolpix L5 and S10 did. The interval shooting and stop-motion features are a nice bonus. Undoubtedly one of the biggest selling points for the Coolpix S7c is its Wi-Fi support.
You can e-mail photos wirelessly from almost any Wi-Fi network, and the camera is able to connect to the thousands of T-Mobile Hotspot locations right out of the box. On your home network you can transfer photos and movies to your Mac or PC wirelessly - even as you're shooting.
The whole process (especially e-mailing) is on the clunky side, though. You can also print wirelessly, to either a printer attached to your computer or via the optional PD-10 wireless printer adapter. The Wi-Fi feature does put a pretty significant strain on the battery, so don't expect to get anywhere near the 200 shot per charge number if you use it frequently. Camera performance was mixed. The S7c starts up in about 1.4 seconds, which is average.
Focus times were snappy when the lighting was good, but in low light the camera really struggled, despite having an AF-assist lamp. Shutter lag wasn't a problem, and shot-to-shot delays were average, except if the eVR feature is doing its thing (just do yourself a favor and turn that feature off). The camera's continuous shooting mode wasn't terribly exciting, shooting at about 1.3 frames/second. Battery life was average (with Wi-Fi turned off) for an ultra-compact. Most people buy a camera for the quality of the photos it takes, and the S7c is a letdown in this area. On the positive side, it takes well-exposed photos with pleasing colors, low noise levels, and minimal purple fringing. The bad news the camera suffers from above average barrel distortion, significant blurring around the edges of the frame, and noticeable vignetting.
These are the same issues that plagued the Coolpix S6 as well. It's disappointing to see a company like Nikon make a less-than-stellar lens like this. As with nearly all ultra-compacts, the S7c has a redeye problem, and its built-in removal tool did not help. A few last critiques to slip in before I wrap things up.
The camera has no manual controls (save for white balance), and the poor night shot is a direct result of that. And finally, I'm not a fan of the plastic tripod mount or the fact that you can't swap memory cards while the camera is on one. At the end of the day, my job is to help people spend their hard-earned money wisely on a digital camera. While it has much to offer, the S7c falls short of the competition - mostly due to sub-par photo quality - but for plenty of other reasons as well.
If you must have Wi-Fi then I suppose the camera is worth a look, but for just about everyone else I'd recommend looking at one of the other cameras listed below.
