    4K UHD

    4K is an emerging standard for digital motion picture resolution. 4K UHD is 3840x2160 and provides four times as much resolution as Full HD (1920x1080).

Ready for adventure

The COOLPIX W300 can go wherever the road less travelled leads.

4K Ultra HD videos with stereo sound*

With the touch of a button, the COOLPIX W300 records 4K Ultra HD or 1080p Full HD videos with stereo sound. Combine your favorite clips into a 30-second compilation with background music and special effects using Short Movie Show—ideal for sharing online. Use Time-lapse recording to condense an hour of action into a 10-second sequence, or speed up time with a Superlapse video. You can even shoot stills while recording video. The camera also features VR during movie recording (5-axis hybrid: lens-shift type and electronic type) and AE lock is now available when shooting underwater video.   *Not all video features are available when recording in 4K UHD, please refer to the owner’s manual for details.

Always be prepared

The COOLPIX W300 is more than a camera; it's a useful travel companion.

Beautiful portraits made easy

Taking great photos of the people and pets we love is easy with the COOLPIX W300.
