Design that fires the creative spirit
Take hold of the
COOLPIX 5000, and
experience the
measure of Nikon’s
vast heritage. Using
a
tough but
lightweight magnesium (Mg) alloy,
the
camera’s contours have been sculpted for a
secure, comfortable grip.
Nikon designers have
paid meticulous attention to every detail — from
delicate curves to finely textured finish — for
optimum shooting comfort.
The dial and buttons on the camera have been ergonomically arranged for
instant, intuitive control.
The all-new
Vari-angle LCD monitor
gives you unprecedented freedom in
choosing when and where to shoot — or, if you prefer, simply close the
monitor and use the
bright optical zoom viewfinder.
Versatile Exposure Controls with
1/4,000 sec. top shutter speed
Choose from four exposure modes
—
Programmed Auto [P]
with Flexible Program,
Shutter-Priority Auto [S], Aperture-Priority
Auto [A]
and
Manual [M]
— for every
possible combination of creative control.
When the situation demands, [P] and [A]
modes give you a
top shutter speed of
1/4,000 sec.
And even with the maximum
aperture selected, the shutter operates at
up
to 1/2,000 sec. in any exposure mode.
A
seven-blade precision-rounded iris
diaphragm
allows you to control aperture
values with exceptional accuracy.
Exposure Compensation
allows you to shift
the exposure value (EV) manually from -2 to
+2 in 1/3 EV steps.
Auto Exposure Bracketing
does it for you,
automatically.
Quick Review
One press of the
Quick Review button
lets you check any previously
captured images in quarter-screen while still in record mode.
Another press fills the screen with the image full frame, yet at any moment,
pressing the shutter button once reactivates record mode.
Impressive speed
Rapid response
has been engineered into
the heart of the COOLPIX 5000 so you’re
always ready for that decisive moment.
Shutter release time lag and all other
functions — from start-up to zoom, autofocus
to image processing — have been
dramatically improved.
When shooting continuously, the COOLPIX 5000 lets you take three
consecutive full-size (2,560 x 1,920-pixel) pictures at
3 frames per second
in Continuous High
mode, or at 1.5 fps in
Continuous Low
mode.
Multi-Shot 16
takes 16 VGA-size (640 x 480-pixel) pictures consecutively
at 3 fps, and records them as a single full-size image.
If speed is essential, turn on
Ultra High-speed Continuous
mode and take
up to 100 QVGA-size (320 x 240-pixel) pictures at 30 fps.
Getting the pictures into your computer is fast too – simply connect via the
USB 1.1 interface
(Mass Storage Class) and the camera shows up on your
computer screen as another hard disk.
Speedlight system
The built-in Speedlight offers impressive
versatility — and when you require even
more light, simply attach an external Nikon
Speedlight, such as the SB-80DX, SB-28DX or
SB-50DX, to the built-in accessory shoe.
Fitting the external Speedlight automatically
cancels the built-in Speedlight’s firing —
but you can also choose to fire both
simultaneously.
