Description — Nikon S02
The Nikon COOLPIX S02 packs a 13MP sensor into one of the slimmest compact camera bodies available, measuring just 77 x 51 x 17.5mm and weighing 100g. The 1/3-inch sensor captures stills at up to 4160x3120 pixels, while the 2.7-inch Fixed TFT LCD touchscreen at 230,000 dots handles all framing and menu navigation. For video, the S02 records at 1080p / 30fps in Standard color.
Autofocus is handled by a Contrast Detection and Face Detection AF system. The ISO range runs from 125 to 1600, and image stabilization is Digital/Electronic IS. The built-in flash operates on TTL auto with monitor preflashes for better exposure consistency.
Ten picture control modes — including Fisheye, Miniature Effect, Toy Camera, Cyanotype, and High-contrast Monochrome — give users a range of creative looks straight from the camera. Connectivity includes USB and Micro HDMI (Type D), and the built-in Li-ion battery (charged via the included EH-70P adapter) delivers approximately 210 shots per charge. The Plastic/Metal composite body keeps weight minimal without sacrificing structural rigidity.
