•Digitally controlled electronic shutter with auto exposure, automatic gain control, and auto white balance

•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.
