Overview
Thank you for your purchase of Nikon COOLPIX 100, an easy-to-use digital
camera that fits in your pocket. COOLPIX 100 uses an electronic image
sensor in place of film and a mechanical shutter, making the camera
extremely light and compact. Up to forty-two images can be stored in the
camera’s built-in PCMCIA memory card, giving you a simple way to transfer
your photographs or visual memos to a computer.
COOLPIX 100 offers the following features:
• Digital image sensing using a CCD (charge-coupled device) with 330,000
pixels
• Digitally controlled electronic shutter with auto exposure, automatic gain
control, and auto white balance
• Built-in automatic flash with red-eye reduction
• Macro close-up for taking photographs at ranges as close as 14 cm (5.5˝),
allowing you to take full-frame photographs of business-card–sized
documents
• One megabyte of flash memory, allowing storage of up to forty-two
normal images (up to twenty-one high-quality photographs) even when the
camera’s main batteries are removed
• COOLPIX 100 can be inserted directly into computers with a PCMCIA
Type II or Type III card slot, allowing you to display photographs directly
on your computer or to transfer image data to disk rapidly for editing or
long-term storage. Pictures are recorded as MS-DOS files in JPEG
format, which can be read by a wide variety of graphics programs and
browsers.
