Recording Features

Overview: The Nikon Coolpix W100 can go anywhere with you. Built to withstand trips to the pool or playground, it is waterproof and shockproof. It has a 2.7" LCD monitor, a 3x wide angle zoom lens, and a 13.2 MP image sensor for shooting still images and Full HD movies.

2.7" LCD Monitor: The Coolpix W100 has a 2.7" TFT LCD monitor, featuring approximately 230,000 dots, and an anti-reflection coating. The LCD monitor has approximately 96% horizontal and vertical coverage in the shooting mode and approximately 100% coverage in playback mode. There is no separate viewfinder on the camera.

Image Sensor: The Coolpix W100 features a 1/3.1" CMOS image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately 14.17-million pixels. The effective pixel count is 13.2-million.

Optics: The Coolpix W100 digital camera uses a 3x Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens for superb image quality. The 4.1-12.3mm lens has an angle of view equivalent to that of a 30-90mm lens in 35mm photography. Coupled with the 4x digital zoom, the camera's total zoom capability is 12x. The angle of view is equivalent to that of an approximately 360mm lens (35mm format).

Waterproof-Shockproof-Dustproof: The W100 is designed for extreme conditions:

• Waterproof: rated equivalent to IEC/JIS waterproof class 8 (IPX8) for shooting images underwater at a depth of 10 meters (33 feet) for up to 60 minutes.
• Shockproof: rated compliant with MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock (drop test from a height of 3.9 feet onto a 2 inch thick plywood panel).
• Dustproof: rated equivalent with JIS/IEC protection class 6 (IP6X)

Vibration Reduction: The Nikon Coolpix W100 offers Electronic Vibration Reduction (VR). Vibration Reduction reduces blurring caused by camera shake when shooting. Slight hand movements causes blurred photos, especially when shooting at slow shutter speeds or when zoomed in.

SnapBridge: Nikon's SnapBridge app for smartphones and tablets helps you to stay connected to your camera. Using Wi-Fi, NFC, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), the Coolpix W100 can automatically transfer photos directly to your smartphone or tablet for sharing, editing, or uploading to social media. The SnapBridge app also lets you control the camera remotely. SnapBridge is compatible with Android devices (requires version 4.4 and up), and with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (running iOS 8.4 or later).
