File and Folder Names

Pictures taken with the COOLPIX 2500 are identified by file names that begin with “DSCN” or, in the case of images created with the small picture function ( 82), “SSCN,” followed by a four-digit file number assigned automatically by the camera (e.g., “DSCN0001”). Each file name ends in a three-letter “extension” that identifies the type of picture: “.JPG” for photographs and “.MOV” for movies. Picture files are stored in folders created automatically by the camera and named with a three-digit folder number followed by “NIKON” (e.g., “100NIKON”). The folder name and file number can be viewed in full-screen review and full-frame playback, when they are displayed in the top right corner of the monitor ( 7).

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 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.
