Description — Nikon S4100
The Nikon COOLPIX S4100 pairs a 14MP sensor on a 1/2.3-inch chip with the Expeed C2 image processor in a body weighing just 131g. The headline feature is the 3.0-inch TFT LCD touchscreen at 460,000 dots, which makes menu navigation and focus selection feel natural and direct. Autofocus uses contrast detection and face detection AF across 9 points, keeping the experience simple for everyday use.
A sensor-shift IBIS system works to reduce camera shake without relying on digital processing. Creatively, shooters can choose from five color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Black and White, Sepia, and Cyanotype — directly in-camera. The ISO range spans 80 to 3200, and video records at up to 30fps.
The built-in flash covers a range of up to 4.5m. The body measures 95.0 x 56.8 x 19.9 mm in a plastic and metal composite shell, and accepts SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards. The EN-EL19 battery delivers approximately 190 shots per charge.
