Nikon Lite-Touch Zoom 110s

September 2, 2002

TOKYO - Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the Lite•Touch Zoom 110s on August 30, 2002. (Already announced in the US market in June.)

Inheriting many of the design aspects of the latest Nikon Lite•Touch-series and One•Touch Nikon compact cameras, the Lite•Touch Zoom 110s is a camera of sophisticated design with a combination of Nikon quality, portability and convenience that is certain to strengthen the Nikon “Touch Zoom” series lineup.

The new camera targets picture-takers who are looking for a compact telephoto zoom camera at a reasonable price, combined with ease of use and sophisticated design.

The Lite•Touch Zoom 110s's slim body houses a powerful 2.9x (38-110mm) zoom lens with protective sliding lens cover. Simplified zoom operation makes it easier to shoot everything from open sweeping landscapes to intimate close-ups. The built-in flash comes with four modes for greater flash shooting creativity. And fully automatic operation makes for easier film loading, rewinding, and various other functions.

The Lite•Touch Zoom 110s QD model comes with a date and time imprint function, and can be used with optional remote controller ML-L3.

  • Note: Specifications, design, product name and standard accessories may differ by country or area.

The Lite•Touch Zoom 110s's powerful 2.9x zoom lens boasts a focal length of 38mm (wideangle) to 110mm (telephoto), with simplified zoom operation that enables you to frame each shot any way you want. Users can even shoot highly detailed photos at 110mm telephoto as close as 80cm (2.6 ft.) from the subject.
Versatile auto flash
Slide open the lens cover, and the built-in versatile flash pops up, ready to fire automatically in situations where ambient light is insufficient. Four flash modes -- Auto Flash, Flash Cancel, Anytime Flash and Night Portrait (Slow Sync Flash) -- offer the versatility to capture any scene in just the right light.
Just Point and Shoot
Frame your subject in the viewfinder focus area and press the shutter release button. With its high-precision autofocus and programmed auto exposure, the Lite•Touch Zoom 110s will take care of the rest.
