TOKYO-Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the release of the S1200pj, a COOLPIX S-series compact digital camera with built-in projector that incorporates advanced functions in a stylish design.
The S1200pj, Nikon's third projector-equipped model, offers a 40% increase in projection brightness and three times greater projection contrast, enabling projection of vivid images at a projection size of up to 60-inch display. In addition, the S1200pj can be connected to an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch via the dedicated cable, allowing users to project images and movies stored on these devices as well as online content from websites such as YouTube™. The S1200pj truly offers new ways of using a camera by overcoming distance with the ability to view and project images and movies users have recorded themselves as well as images and movies acquired from around the world via the Internet.
Projector brightness has been increased from 14 lumens available with the previous COOLPIX S1100pj to 20 lumens for an increase in brightness of approximately 40%. This enables projection at a maximum size of 60-inch display at a distance of up to 310 cm . What's more, clearer, more vivid projection is now possible with the switch from a single-lamp (color) projection system to a three-lamp (red, green and blue LEDs) projection system, display reproduction of roughly the entire sRGB gamut and a contrast ratio of 200 : 1 or better.
When the new dedicated cable is connected to an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, still images and movies stored on those devices can be projected by the S1200pj. In addition, the camera can also project streaming content from Internet sites such as YouTube™. This allows users to project not only their own images, but to overcome distance to enjoy images from around the world.
When the camera is connected to a Windows or Macintosh computer via the supplied USB cable, images and materials in a variety of formats and displayed on the computer monitor can be projected by the camera.
Adoption of a sliding projector cover that also serves to turn the projector on and off prevents dust and foreign matter from adhering to the projector lens. Operation has also been improved with the automatic illumination of frequently used buttons on the rear of the camera during projection, making it easier to use these buttons in dark surroundings.
The S1200pj has a more modern design with rounded detailing around the photographic and projector lenses and the camera's general elongated rectangular shape. A slim and elegant body has been achieved with a curved form and flat surfaces that emphasize the metal texture.
