5.0 effective megapixels

Conventional 1/1.8-inch-type CCD

Outstanding details,

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.

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.

The lens, which

consists of nine

elements in seven

groups, features

three glass-

molded

aspherical lens

elements, including

a large-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.

Minimum distortion at 28mm (35mm [135] equiv.)

Five-Area Multi Autofocus

The COOLPIX 5000's Five-Area Multi

Autofocus with 7,514 steps provides

unprecedented focusing precision. And for

clarity and colors

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.

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.

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.

4x Digital Zoom (approx. 340mm)

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

Five-Area Multi Autofocus

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.

Saturation Control

Four steps of color saturation adjustment allow you to select from a

28mm (35mm [135] equiv.)

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.
