42x optical zoom and highly advanced VR image stabilization
A 16.1 megapixel Back-illuminated CMOS image sensor is paired with a 42x zoom
NIKKOR ED glass lens that covers the phenomenal focal range of 24 mm wide-angle
to 1000 mm super-telephoto*. Newly advanced Lens-shift VR image stabilization
compensates more effectively than ever** for camera shake. This serves as a big aid in
achieving consistently sharp results, particularly when taking advantage of the
super-zoom or shooting macros.
*35mm format equivalent **Among Nikon COOLPIX cameras
*Up to five consecutive images.
Optimized controls and designed for efficient handling
The 7.5-cm (3-in.) vari-angle 921k-dot (approx.) high-resolution Clear color display
can be tilted as much as 90 degrees (approx.) upward or 82 degrees (approx.)
downward. You can assign often-used functions to the new
Function button for quick one-touch access. The handgrip is
designed to help minimize camera shake. And the body includes a
side zoom control for stable handling.
Bright f/1.8, 24mm wide-angle lens and highly
advanced VR image stabilization
A specially crafted f/1.8 zoom NIKKOR lens, which includes
the use of High refractive index glass elements, yields sharp
images with high contrast. Its design also helps achieve a highly
compact form factor. The lens’ fast aperture, 4.2x optical zoom
and 24 mm wide-angle coverage* expand creative possibilities,
particularly when shooting indoors or at night. Newly advanced
Lens-shift VR image stabilization helps consistently sharp results
by realizing the equivalent of using a faster shutter speed
setting to effectively compensate for camera shake.

High-speed continuous shooting
helps capture all the action
The COOLPIX P510 keeps you ahead of the
action with high-speed shooting options. High-
speed continuous shooting enables rapid
capturing at 7-fps (approx.) for full-resolution
(4608 x 3456) images*. Other high-speed modes
include Sports continuous mode (approx.
60fps/120fps) and the Pre-shooting cache.
Manual and custom settings for
creating your envisioned image
The dedicated Mode dial provides easy access
to the P/S/A/M exposure modes, while its User
setting mode labeled “U” lets you save your
favorite settings for use at any time. Often-
used functions can be assigned to the new
Function button on the face of the camera
for quick access. And, there’s an independent
Command dial that provides finer creative
control over settings while shooting, as well
as convenient functions during playback and
menu operation. In addition, COOLPIX Picture
Control lets you select a profile defining
sharpness, saturation, color adjustment and
other settings before shooting that help
achieve the ideal result.
Beautiful handheld still images at
night
The continuous shooting and compositing
capabilities of the Back-illuminated CMOS image
sensor help you take beautiful Night landscape
or Night portrait pictures while shooting with
the camera in hand.
