Nikon Coolpix P5000 Major Features
- 10.0 megapixel effective
resolution
- 3.5x Zoom-Nikkor
lens with VR image stabilization: The Nikon Coolpix P5000 features optical
lens shift Vibration Reduction (VR ) technology, originally developed
for interchangeable lenses used in Nikon's SLR camera systems. Angular
velocity sensors measure camera movement, calculate the amount of compensation
required, and the VR lens unit instantly adjusts position to offset
camera shake. Nikon's exclusive VR system provides the ability to shoot
at shutter speeds as much as three stops slower without blurring the
image, while also providing a clearer image on the LCD monitor.
- The 2.5-inch 230,000-dot
LCD monitor with anti-reflection coating makes the menus easier to read
in bright sunlight.
- The Coolpix P5000
lightweight body features a magnesium alloy front panel
- Button design similar
to Nikon DSLR's like the D40, D80, D200
- ISO 3200 sensitivity:
Fixed sensitivity settings up to ISO 3200* are available in Manual exposure
mode. In Anti-Shake and High-Sensitivity modes, AUTO ISO control automatically
selects the optimal sensitivity setting for the shot across a range
up to ISO 800.
*ISO 3200 is available
only for image sizes of 5M (2592 x 1944) or smaller.
- Anti-Shake mode:
A turn of the Mode dial activates High ISO and BSS (Best Shot Selector),
in addition to VR, automatically setting the optimal ISO for steady
results, and selecting the sharpest image from up to 10 sequential shots.
- Manual and Auto exposure
control settings: Programmed Auto [P] mode automatically selects shutter
and aperture settings for optimal exposure, while Shutter-priority Auto
[S] lets the photographer select a desired shutter speed, setting the
optimal aperture setting accordingly. Aperture-priority Auto [A] offers
10-step manual control over the aperture setting in 1/3EV increments
to let the photographer decide depth of field, while the camera automatically
adjusts the shutter speed to achieve optimal exposure. Manual [M] exposure
mode gives the photographer full control over both the aperture and
shutter speed settings.
- Aselection of 16
scene-optimized Scene modes and seven different movie modes can be easily
accessed via the Mode dial and high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD.
- Compatibility with
system-expanding accessories: The Nikon Coolpix P5000 is compatible
with optional lens accessories, including the 0.67x Nikon Wide-angle
Converter WC-E67 (24mm equivalent) and 3.0x Telephoto Converter TC-E3ED
(378mm equivalent). A built-in accessory shoe supports the use of Nikon's
advanced i-TTL flash control for external flashes, including the Speedlight
SB-400, SB-600 and SB-800.
- The Coolpix P5000's
new image optimization settings offer a choice of four colour filters
for shooting with monochrome filter effects, as well as barrel distortion
control, which can correct images when using the WC-E67 wide angle converter
and display the corrected image in real-time on the LCD monitor.
- The Coolpix P5000
features a selection of Nikon Image Innovation's, which provide the
ability to improve image quality within the camera. The Face-priority
AF** feature automatically detects and focuses on human faces in the
frame, while In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically overcomes the red-eye
effect sometimes caused by flash photography. Nikon's D-Lighting feature
can rescue underexposed images or shots taken with too much backlight
by creating a copy of the image and adding light and detail where necessary,
while leaving properly exposed areas alone.
Nikon Coolpix P5000 Press Release
Mississauga, ON, February
20, 2007 - Nikon Canada Inc. today introduced the Coolpix P5000, a compact
digital camera offering advanced functions and intuitive operation sure
to satisfy camera enthusiasts.
High performance and
outstanding image quality are the hallmarks of the Coolpix P5000. Its
10.0 megapixel resolution gives users the power to capture the finest
details, perform creative cropping and produce beautiful enlargements.
The Coolpix P5000 incorporates 3.5x optical zoom capability with a 36-126mm
Zoom-Nikkor lens (35mm equivalent), which proves to be equally useful
when zooming in for tight compositions or zooming out to capture sweeping
vistas.
Nikon's Vibration
Reduction (VR) image stabilization technology enhances the shooting
experience by counteracting the effects of camera shake in lower light,
or when shooting unsteady subjects. Automatically activated upon start-up,
VR also automatically stabilizes images displayed on the wide-viewing
angle 2.5-inch LCD, making it faster to frame shots and capturethe intended
moment, The benefits of VR image stabilization also extend to achieving
smoother action in the movie shooting modes.
Extended light sensitivity
range up to ISO 3200* opens new worlds of photographic opportunities
by adding the power to shoot more effectively in lower light conditions,
or to capture fast moving subjects. The Coolpix P5000's new image-processing
engine, with enhanced noise reduction and an improved signal-to-noise
(S/N) ratio, preserves high image quality, even when shooting at higher
ISO settings.
Logically placed for
easy access, the P5000's buttons and controls simplify camera operation.
The new Mode dial provides quick access to a selection of 16 scene-optimized
modes and seven movie modes, as well as Anti-Shake and High-Sensitivity
modes. The Mode dial also offers learning and advanced photographers
a choice of Programmed Auto [P], Shutter-priority Auto [S], Aperture-priority
Auto [A], and Manual [M] exposure modes for even greater control over
camera operation.
The Coolpix P5000
is highly responsive, offering a swift start-up time and fast continuous
shooting. The lightweight body features a magnesium alloy front panel,
an optical viewfinder, a textured finish and comfortable new grip.
Compatibility with
add-on system components further extends the creative possibilities
presented by the Nikon P5000. Converter lens options include a Wide-angle
Converter that realizes a focal length of 24mm (35mm equivalent), and
a Telephoto Converter that extends the reach of the zoom to 378mm (35mm
equivalent). The built-in accessory shoe supports the use of Nikon's
advanced i-TTL flash control for external flashes, including the Speedlight
SB-400, SB-600 and SB-800.
The Nikon
Coolpix P5000 is packaged with Nikon's exclusive PictureProject software
for easy transfer, organizing, editing and sharing of photos with family
and friends. PictureProject software is powerful, yet exceptionally
easy to use. The Coolpix P5000 will be available March 2007
