Im pretty sure the upper level Nikon coolpix has manual shutter speed and F stop, iso settings. but it depends on the model, there are some consumer grade coolpix cameras (like the L15) that are so basic that they dont have full manual settings, which is ironic to me since all older cameras used to have nothing but manual settings. if its a slightly higher end model like the coolpix P5100 it does have manual settings. I am uncertain if a coolpix without manual control would have an EV control, but i would think not since they are essentially the same exact thing. 1/250th of a second at F8 is equivalent to EV14 so it would make sense to put in manual control on a consumer camera rather than an EV setting?? ( anyone with a camera like this please chime in??? ) - pro cameras have manual control of course but also have an EV range so they can make fine adjustments in values of 1/3rds 1/2 or 1 increments. but, i dont own any consumer cameras so this is just my own understanding and experience im trying to offer here.
