5.0 effective megapixels

Conventional 1/1.8-inch-type CCD

Large, new 2/3-inch-type CCD

The COOLPIX 5000 delivers an impressive

5.0 effective megapixels for truly superb image quality.

The large, 2/3-inch-type CCD provides a wider dynamic range to capture shadows and highlight details more faithfully, and ensures a smoother reproduction of the complete tonal range.

The maximum recording image size of 2,560 x 1,920 pixels ensures incredibly sharp pictures, enabling reproduction of fine details on images up to A3 size (297 x 420mm) or 11 x 14 in.

Five-Area Multi Autofocus

The COOLPIX 5000’s Five-Area Multi

Autofocus with 7,514 steps provides

unprecedented focusing precision. And for easy, flexible composition, the thumb- operable Multi Selector allows you to target any of five focus areas in the frame.

Macro mode lets you get as close as 2cm (0.8 in.) to your subject.

When control is paramount, a 50-step

Manual focus with convenient LCD monitor focus confirmation

indication enables precise determination of the focus point.

TTL White Balance

Matrix Auto White Balance precisely and automatically measures the white balance in a scene, making adjustments for the many and varied ambient lighting conditions you'll encounter.

For greater creative control, five Manual settings (Fine/Incandescent/Fluorescent/Cloudy/Speedlight) allow you to select the optimum conditions for your vision and needs.

Yet another convenience, Preset mode measures, analyzes and memorizes white balance values from any available neutral reference.

White Balance Bracketing

Precision 28-85mm Zoom-Nikkor lens

Nikon lens designers spared no effort in creating the advanced optics that bring the COOLPIX 5000’s

5.0 effective megapixels to life.

The 3x Zoom-Nikkor lens offers a 28-85mm zoom range (35mm [135] equiv.) that covers everything enthusiastic photographers find most

exciting in photography. With the Nikon COOLPIX system of accessory converters, this range can be extended, and

for even greater magnification, there’s an auxiliary

4x digital zoom.

Intelligent metering system

Nikon's exclusive 256-segment Matrix Metering [] delivers optimal exposures in even the most difficult lighting conditions, while Center-Weighted [] and Spot Metering [] enhance your versatility. In Spot AF Area Metering, the metering automatically targets your selected focus area as the area of optimal exposure.

For more difficult conditions, such as settings with mixed light sources, the COOLPIX 5000 offers White Balance Bracketing. This feature automatically captures the same scene with three different white balance settings (reddish, selected value, and

bluish) — all with a single release of the shutter — allowing you to make creative choices later in your digital darkroom.

Clear Image Mode*

Available for recording image sizes of 1,280 x 960 pixels (SXGA size) or smaller, Clear Image Mode takes full advantage of the camera’s 5.0 effective megapixels — adding and

The lens, which consists of nine elements in seven groups, features

three glass- molded aspherical lens elements, including

alarge-diameter element up front.

Lens elements have been treated with Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating (SIC) to deliver super-sharp, clear images. Distortion, chromatic aberration and color

blur have all been reduced to negligible levels. Indeed, you’ll be amazed at how fine details — such as hair and skin texture — can be reproduced, even in larger format printing.

Nikon’s advanced image- processing algorithm

When you view the images you’ve captured — on your computer screen or as a print — you will immediately appreciate the Nikon difference. The superior color reproduction and white balance are the outcome of Nikon’s unceasing research and analysis of images and image quality. The end result is a camera that captures not only the widest range of tones but also nature’s finest gradations, a camera that responds equally well to both high saturation and delicate subtlety. Photographers know they can trust Nikon; now, the COOLPIX 5000 extends the boundaries.

Saturation Control

Four steps of color saturation adjustment allow you to select from a vibrant, highly saturated image suitable for home printouts or a more subtle image with a wider tonal range that provides better response to retouching on your computer.

It also includes a Black and White mode that renders beautiful gray tone images.

averaging two pixels vertically — to give you a wider dynamic range and superior S/N ratio.

Using a multiple exposure technique that incorporates noise reduction and electronic processing, it produces an outstanding image with minimum noise and beautiful color gradations.

*This feature is not recommended for moving subjects. Camera shake or subject movement may result in a blurry image. Use of a tripod is advised.

Best Shot Selector

The Best Shot Selector (BSS) automatically selects the “sharpest” image from a series of consecutive shots of a subject, giving you a measure of safety that proves particularly valuable when taking macro and telephoto pictures.

This feature can be usedMacro with BSS even with uncompressed [HI]

image data.
