Because it’s all about reach
The COOLPIX P100 features a quality wide-angle 26x zoom, NIKKOR ED glass lens with 26mm wide-angle to 678mm supertelephoto focal range.^* The compositional freedom of this versatile reach and range is further enhanced by a 7.6 cm (3-in.) vari-angle high resolution Clear Colour Display that can be tilted as much as 90 degrees upward or 82 degrees downward.

Enhanced image quality with new backside illumination CMOS sensor
CMOS image sensor with a backside illumination structure increases the amount of light that each pixel receives. The resulting improvement in sensitivity and noise reduction makes the COOLPIX P100 more capable when shooting night scenes or in dark indoor situations.

In-camera HDR and enhanced night shooting
The advanced performance of the new CMOS image sensor brings in-camera Backlit Scene HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging to the COOLPIX P100. HDR merges two different exposures of the same scene to create an image with a range of tonal detail that could not be captured in a single photo. Night Landscape mode also benefits from a function that combines six consecutive shots taken at a fast shutter speed into a single, clearer image when taking handheld shots at night.

High-speed shooting capability
The COOLPIX P100 lets you shoot consecutive images in their maximum size (3648 x 2736) at a rapid 10-fps. Other high-speed options include Sport Continuous Mode and the Pre-shooting Cache.

Full HD movies with stereo sound
Record up to 2 hours^* of Full 1080p HD movies at 30 frames per second with stereo sound by simply pressing the conveniently positioned button. Both the camera’s optical zoom and autofocus functions continue to be available while filming. A stereo microphone optimally mounted on top of the camera accurately captures the audio.
^{*Recording stops automatically after 29 minutes. This figure is based on in-house testing standards and stated for recording at 25°C with a fully charged EN-EL5 battery. Actual results may vary greatly depending on factors that include differences in ambient temperature, and the amount of zoom and autofocus operations used.}
