Description — Nikon W100
The Nikon COOLPIX W100 is a 13MP point-and-shoot camera built on a 1/3-inch sensor, delivering a maximum still resolution of 4160x3120. Its weather-sealed polycarbonate body measures 110 x 67 x 38mm and weighs only 177g, making it easy to carry on active outings. The camera's 2.7-inch TFT-LCD with 230,000 dots is the sole framing method, as no viewfinder is included.
For video, it records at 1080p at up to 30fps in 8-bit depth. The ISO range runs from 125 to 1600, and a burst mode fires at 11fps. Autofocus uses Contrast Detection and Face Detection AF, with subject tracking enabled.
Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, and Micro HDMI output. The built-in flash supports Auto, Auto with Red-eye Reduction, Flash On, and Flash Off modes. Storage is via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and the EN-EL19 lithium-ion battery is rated for approximately 220 shots per charge (CIPA).
Five color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Black & White, Sepia, and Cyanotype — add creative flexibility at the shooting stage.
