Description — Nikon S32
The Nikon COOLPIX S32 is a 13MP point-and-shoot camera built on a 1/3-inch sensor and processed by Nikon's own image processor. Housed in a water-resistant plastic body measuring 108 x 66 x 40 mm and weighing just 175g, this camera is designed for portability and everyday durability. Maximum still resolution reaches 4160x3120 pixels, and a burst mode of 4.7 fps lets you fire off sequences without missing a beat.
The autofocus system combines contrast detection, face detection AF, and subject tracking for a single center focus point. For video, the S32 records at 1080p at 30fps (or 15fps) in 8-bit Standard color. The 2.7-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots is your primary composition and review tool.
The ISO 125–1600 range keeps exposure options manageable, while digital image stabilization provides electronic steadying during handheld shooting. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and the EN-EL19 battery delivers approximately 220 shots per charge. A built-in TTL auto flash is included, and USB connectivity enables wired file transfer.
