Product Features
- 12.1 effective megapixels back-illuminated CMOS sensor makes it simple to shoot clear photographs under demanding lighting conditions
- 36x wide-angle optical zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens - Its optical zoom (22.5—810mm) pulls you in from wide panoramas to crisp close ups. Plus, a side zoom control marks the end of shaky zooms—you can capture great action photos with minimal blur
- So whether you're shooting a mountain vista or zooming in on a snowboarder, say goodbye to missed shots. This lens catches it all. It even allows for macro shooting as close as 0.4 inches
- 3" vari-angle ultra-high resolution (920,000-dot) LCD not only makes it easy to capture, review and share images, but it also lets you shoot from unusual angles and difficult vantage points
- The Clear Color Display has a brightness adjustment and an anti-glare coating, so it remains vivid in the most challenging lighting conditions
- Full HD movie (1080p) with stereo sound - When a single picture just isn't enough, this camera features a One-Touch record button that lets you shoot Full HD (1080p) movies at 30fps while recording audio with a built-in stereo microphone
- It's great for sporting events because it will record high speed activity in slow motion, catching action missed by the human eye. The COOLPIX P500 also has an HDMI-CEC output for simple playback on your HDTV or computer
- 5-way VR image stabilization system reduces the streaky images associated with shaky cameras. Even has a motion detector that identifies moving subjects and then adjusts the camera's settings to ensure that you won't miss a frame of the action
- ISO speeds up to 3200 so it captures the fastest skateboarders, skiers and windsurfers. It is ideal for sports scenes or other fast action because it minimizes motion blur
- Dual image processors and Nikon's EXPEED C2 image processing engine ensures images with minimal noise and distortion
- Eye-level 0.24" TFT LCD viewfinder (approximately 230,000 dot with diopter adjustment) for those who want even more compositional freedom
- Selectable aperture and shutter priorities, and Manual Exposure Mode puts you in complete control
- Advanced Night Landscape and Advanced Night Portrait Modes makes shooting at night easy. A single press of the shutter release is all it takes for this camera to shoot multiple shots and automatically combine them into a single, superior image
- Easy Panorama Mode combines multiple shots into a seamless 180- or 360-degree panoramic picture. Simply move the camera as you shoot and let the COOLPIX P500 combine the shots for you
- Choose from 19 different Scene Modes or let the camera automatically select the most appropriate settings. Either way, you'll have a panoramic shot that captures the size, scope, and splendor of the most majestic scenes imaginable
- Smart Portrait System includes a Blink Warning that warns you when your subject may have blinked
- It also includes in-camera Red-Eye technology that automatically fixes red-eye, a Face-Priority feature that can focus up to 12 faces and a Skin Softening feature that smoothes out skin tones at three different levels
