REACH FOR THE STARS: NIKON RELEASES THE COOLPIX P1100 COMPACT DIGITAL CAMERA WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY 125X OPTICAL ZOOM

Today, Nikon Inc. announced the COOLPIX P1100, a compact digital camera that features an incredible 125x optical super-telephoto zoom, with creative features that help users create amazing photos and videos from the most extreme distances.

The COOLPIX P1100 is a compact digital camera and offers further improvements in usability and connectivity. The COOLPIX P1100 covers a vast range of focal lengths beginning at the wide-angle 24mm equivalent, extending to the super-telephoto 3000mm¹ equivalent. If that is not enough, the P1100 is capable of going even farther, with up to a 250x² zoom when Dynamic Fine Zoom is enabled.

The COOLPIX P1100 makes it easy to enjoy the world of super-telephoto shooting with the ability to capture dynamic images of subjects that are difficult approach, including birds and celestial bodies. The camera features Dual Detect Optical VR, which achieves a level of vibration reduction equivalent to 4.0 stops³ at the center of the frame, effectively suppressing camera shake when handheld shooting. The P1100 is also able to capture 4K UHD/30p and superlapse movie recordings, helping the user make creative videos of nature and the night sky.

Further enhancements include a selectable AF-area mode in Bird-Watching Mode, and the same functions that can be assigned to the camera’s Fn button can now be assigned to the Fn1/Fn2 buttons on the optional ML-L7 Remote Control⁴. What’s more, a Fireworks option has been added to [Multiple exp. Lighten] scene mode. This function reduces instances of blown-out highlights that often occur when shooting long exposures, making it easier to capture impressively clear scenes of fireworks displays in which the brightness of the foreground or the background differs.

Primary Features of the COOLPIX P1100

• Incredible 125x optical zoom for super-telephoto performance up to a 24-3000mm equivalent.
• Super ED and ED lens elements provide superior chromatic aberration compensation and deliver outstanding rendering capabilities across the entire zoom range, even with super-telephoto shooting.
• Dual Detect Optical VR accurately suppresses the effects of camera shake with super-telephoto handheld shooting. This enables the capture of sharp and clear images of birds, celestial bodies, and other distant subjects at dynamic angles of view.
• Bird-Watching and Moon modes can be accessed directly using the mode dial.
• Support for 4K UHD/30p movie recording lets users beautifully record subjects with the power of super-telephoto 3000mm equivalent. Frames from movies recorded in 4K UHD format can also be saved as still images.
• Massive zoom, small size: Despite coverage of focal lengths up to 3000mm equivalent, the camera weighs only approx. 3.1 lbs. (1,410g), allowing users to enjoy super-telephoto shooting more comfortably than with DSLR and mirrorless camera systems.

Additional Features of the COOLPIX P1100:

• The camera is equipped with a focus mode selector that can be used to change the focus mode even after it has been acquired, along with a control ring that enables the adjustment of settings such as white balance and manual focus.
• Optional accessory ML-L7 Remote Control connects to the COOLPIX P1100 via Bluetooth®︎, and the same functions that can be assigned to the camera's Fn button can be assigned to the remote.
• A 3.2in. TFT LCD Vari-angle monitor with a wide-viewing angle makes it easy to compose handheld or on a tripod.
• Compatible with Nikon's exclusive RAW (.NRW) format.
• COOLPIX Picture Control5, which can be used to make adjustments in accordance with the subject, shooting situations and intentions.
• Capability to record superlapse and time-lapse movies.
• Support for Clean HDMI output6, which cleans the information display from the image output to an external monitor during recording.
• The ability to set long-exposure noise reduction to [Auto] or [Off].
• Adoption of a USB Type-C input/output connector.
• Compatible with the optional DF-M1 Dot Sight that facilitates image composition during telephoto shooting.
