Features
Rugged Design: The Nikon Coolpix AW110's rugged design
protects the camera from the following extreme conditions:
- Waterproof: Capacity to shoot pictures underwater up to a depth
of 59 feet (18 meters) for 60 minutes. (JIS/IEC protection class 8
(IPX8) equivalent)
- Dust-proof: Protection against dust (JIS/IEC protection class
6
(IPX6))
- Shock-proof: Capacity to withstand a drop of up to 6'-6"
onto a surface of 2" thick plywood (MIL-STD
810F Method 516.5 Shock)
- Freeze-proof: Operating temperature -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F) for land use, 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) for underwater
use.
Note: These tests do not guarantee that the camera will
be free from damage or trouble under all conditions.
Action Control: The Action Control feature lets you easily
adjust specific camera settings, even with gloves on. The Action Control button,
which activates the feature, is conveniently located on the left side of the
camera. You can perform the functions by shaking the camera with your wrist in a
single up/down or forward/backward stroke. Functions that can be performed
include:
- Shooting Mode: select Easy Auto Mode, Auto Mode, Beach, Snow,
Landscape, or Underwater modes.
- Start Movie Recording: Press the Action Control button to
begin/end movie shooting.
- Quick Playback: display images in full-frame playback mode
- Current Position: Display the current GPS location on a map
GPS: The camera has a built-in GPS (Global Positioning
System) receiver, which allows you to record GPS data with your photographs.
During shooting, GPS data is displayed in the monitor, including the current
location by place name or its coordinates. The built-in GPS can track your
progress with the included Nikon View NX2 software, or such online sites as Google Earth
or Google+. The camera also
has an electronic compass to help show you the way.
Note: Because GPS data is received from overhead
satellites, you must be in an outdoor location with relatively few
obstructions in order for the GPS to work properly.
3" OLED Monitor: The Coolpix AW110
has a 3" TFT OLED monitor featuring
approximately 614,000 dots, an anti-reflective coating and a five-level
brightness adjustment. The LCD monitor has approximately 97% horizontal and vertical coverage in the
shooting mode and approximately 100% in playback mode. There is no separate viewfinder on the camera.
Image Sensor: The Coolpix AW110 features a
1/2.3", high-density CMOS image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately
16.79-million pixels. The effective pixel count is 16.0-million.
Optics: The Coolpix AW110 digital camera uses a NIKKOR
5x wide optical zoom glass lens for superb image quality. Every aspect of the
lens manufacturing process is controlled by Nikon. The Zoom-Nikkor ED lens is
designed for the specific camera and image sensor combination. The Coolpix AW110
uses a 5-25mm lens, which is equivalent
to 28-140mm in 35mm photography. Coupled with the 4x digital zoom, the
camera's total zoom capability is 20x. The angle of view is equivalent to that
of approximately 560mm lens (35mm format).
Filter Adapter: The camera includes a snap-on Filter Adapter
that attaches over the lens of the camera. The Filter Adapter allows you to
attach a commercially-available 40.5mm filter, such as a polarizing filter or
color filter. The Filter Adapter includes a cord for attaching it to the camera
for storage.
Vibration Reduction: The Nikon
Coolpix AW110 offers Vibration Reduction (VR) to reduce blurring caused by
camera shake when shooting. For still images, there are three options: Standard
VR (using the lens shift method), Hybrid VR (combining lens shift and electronic
VR), or Off. For movies, you can use Standard (lens shift) VR or turn it off.
Recording Media: The camera uses SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory
cards to record still images and HD movies. In addition, the S9500 has a
built-in 21MB internal memory for saving images.
File Formats: The Coolpix AW110 records still images in JPEG
format. HD and SD movies are recorded in MOV format (Video: H.264; Audio: AAC
stereo). You have a choice of seven still image size options and nine movie

8 frames per second while the button is pressed and held.

detection to detect human faces, and automatically release the shutter when a
smile is detected (Smile Timer).
AF Area Mode: You can select
between the following AF Area Modes to determine where the camera focuses.
- Face Priority: When the camera recognizes a face (front view
only), the camera will focus on the face automatically. The camera can
recognize up to 3 or 12 faces depending on shooting and exposure mode. This
is the default setting.
- Auto: The camera
automatically selects the focus area (up to 9) containing the subject closest
to the camera.
- Manual: You can manually select one of 99 focus areas
in the monitor. This method is handy when the intended subject is not
positioned in the center of the frame, and is relatively still.
- Center: The camera focuses
on the subject in the center of the frame.
- Subject Tracking Mode: For taking pictures of moving
subjects. The camera moves the focus area automatically to track the
registered subject within the frame.
Macro Mode: Macro mode is used for taking pictures of objects as close
as 0.4". The flash may be unable to light the entire subject at distances less
than 1 feet 8 inches.
Focus Lock: The Focus Lock
feature is used to focus on off-centered subjects in the frame while shooting in
Center AF mode.
AF-Assist Illuminator: If lighting is poor, the AF-assist
illuminator may light to assist the focus operation when the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway. The illuminator has a range of about 9'-10" at the maximum
wide-angle and telephoto positions. You can turn this function on or off.
Blink Warning Function: The Blink Warning function is
available when you are shooting in Face Priority mode. When the camera detects
that one or more human subjects may have blinked, the blink warning screen is
displayed. The subject is framed by a yellow border, allowing you to check the
picture and decide whether or not to take another picture.
Exposure
Compensation: You can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the
camera, making pictures brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure from
-2.0 to +2.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps.
ISO Settings: Sensitivity is
the measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the
sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. The camera features the
following ISO settings:
- Auto: Sensitivity is set to ISO 125 when there is sufficient
lighting, and raises the sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 3200 when lighting
is dim.
- Fixed Range Auto: The
camera automatically sets the sensitivity between ISO 125-400 and ISO 125-800.
- Manual: Sensitivity is locked at the set value: ISO 125, 200, 400, 800, 1600,
or 3200.
White Balance:
You can set the White Balance to Auto, Daylight, Incandescent, Fluorescent,
Cloudy, or Flash. You can also choose Preset White Balance and use a
neutral-colored object as a reference to set the white balance under unusual
lighting conditions.
Built-in Flash: The Coolpix AW110 has a built-in flash with a range of
1'-8" to 17' (Wide angle) and 1'-8" to 14' (Telephoto). You can choose from the following flash modes:

Auto with Red-eye Reduction: Pre-flash fires before main flash to reduce
red-eye effect.
-
Flash Off: Flash will not fire, even when lighting is poor.
-
Fill Flash: Flash will fire whenever a picture is taken.
-
Slow Sync: Auto flash combined with slow shutter speeds.
In-Camera Red-Eye Fix: If the camera detects red-eye after the pre-flash has fired, advanced
red-eye reduction processing is used to further reduce red-eye, slightly
increasing the time required before the next picture can be taken.
AF Modes: When shooting still images or movies you can choose between two auto-focus modes:
- Single AF: The camera focuses when the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway and locks at this position during recording.
- Full-time
AF: The camera constantly adjusts focus, even when the
shutter-release button is not pressed.
Voice Recording: Audio voice memos for pictures can be recorded over
the camera's built-in microphone and played back over the unit's built-in
