Tutorial— First Steps

The Clock Battery

The camera’s internal clock-calendar is powered by a separate, rechargeable power source, which is charged as necessary when the main battery is in- stalled. If the camera has been stored for an extended period with the main battery removed, the clock may need to be reset. The clock power source can provide several days of back-up power after charging for about ten hours.

Removing the Battery

The battery can be removed without affecting pic- tures on the memory card. Before removing the battery, turn the camera off. Remove the battery by hand, holding it between your finger and thumb as shown at right. Do not use your fingernails.

Alternative Power Sources

To power your camera continuously for extended playback or while the cam- era is connected to a computer, we recommend the EH-60 AC adapter (avail- able separately; 95).

COOLPIX 2500 specifications

The Nikon COOLPIX 2500 is a compact digital camera that was introduced in the early 2000s, showcasing a blend of innovative features and user-friendly design. It is known for its portability and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for casual photographers and those just beginning their journey into digital photography.

One of the standout features of the COOLPIX 2500 is its 2.0-megapixel image sensor, which allows users to capture decent quality images for that time. Although the resolution may seem modest by today’s standards, it was suitable for printing 4x6 inch photos and sharing images online in the early 2000s. The camera also boasts an 8x digital zoom, which provides users with the flexibility to capture distant subjects without the need for an additional lens.

The camera's lens is a 5.2-15.6mm lens, equivalent to a 37-111mm lens in 35mm film terms, making it versatile for a range of shooting situations, from close-ups to portraits. The COOLPIX 2500 features a built-in flash that automatically adjusts according to the lighting conditions, ensuring better image quality in low-light situations.

Another impressive aspect of the COOLPIX 2500 is its user-friendly interface, which allows even novice photographers to operate the camera with ease. It comes with several scene modes, such as portrait, landscape, and night portrait, that provide optimal settings for different scenarios. The camera also features a 1.5-inch LCD display, enabling users to preview their shots instantly.

In terms of battery life, the COOLPIX 2500 operates on AA batteries, which is convenient for users who may not want to invest in specialized camera batteries. This feature allows for easy replacement and compatibility with commonly available batteries.

The Nikon COOLPIX 2500 remains a noteworthy model for its technological advancements during its era. It introduced users to the world of digital photography with a combination of simplicity and performance. Although outperformed by modern digital cameras, it serves as a nostalgic reminder of the early days of digital photography. Its portability, ease of use, and several intuitive features make it a significant model in the Nikon legacy.
