Nikon COOLPIX 5000 - Manual

NEW
E5000
3x Zoom Digital Camera with 5.0 Effective Megapixels
Something truly special in digital photography
Rapid response
The COOLPIX 5000 is surprisingly fast: instant startup, high-speed autofocus, rapid
zoom, and a shutter release that conveys the easy confidence of an AF SLR film
camera. For Nikon, speed is a prerequisite, and with the COOLPIX 5000, speed has
been engineered into every function and feature to create a camera that produces the
results your photography demands and rival cameras can only strive to attain.
Creative potential
A photographer’s camera, the COOLPIX 5000 is ready to extend your creative
possibilities with a host of digital features: versatile exposure and image controls
such as white balance setting; an all-new clear image mode; noise reduction
mode; numerous auto and manual focus functions; an extensive shutter speed
range of 1/4,000 to 8 seconds; and precision aperture settings. Lighting needs
are handled with a built-in Speedlight and an accessory shoe for an external Nikon
Speedlight.
Remarkable image quality
with 5.0 effective megapixels
At the heart of the rugged cast-magnesium alloy body lies a 2/3-inch type CCD.
5.0 effective megapixels can capture razor-sharp pictures at a recording image size
of up to 2,560 x 1,920 pixels. Nikon makes this new image-sensing CCD even more
powerful using the latest image processing technology — an area in which Nikon is
the undisputed leader — rendering crisp, brilliant images that leap off the page at
print sizes as large as A3 size (297 x 420mm; 11 x 14 in.).
Superfine Zoom-Nikkor lens
Visibly different, the large, bright Nikkor lens confirms that, when the aim is perfection,
optics come first. Indeed, Nikon lens designers responded to the challenge of this new
camera by incorporating no less than three aspherical lens elements in an
outstanding execution. Light is introduced via a large-diameter aspherical lens that
pares image distortion to an absolute minimum. The resulting 3x Zoom-Nikkor lens is
the embodiment of Nikon optical performance, offering a focal range of 7.1-21.4mm
(equivalent to 28-85mm in 35mm [135] format).
