It all began when Nikon’s top camera designers got together with
the aim of producing a unique digital camera for the photography
enthusiast. The goal was to meet the demands of someone who
understands photographic tradition, yet is passionate about the
advantages of digital. The result of their vision, the new
COOLPIX 5000, is here.
Take the camera in hand. Its compact, magnesium-alloy body and
full-size grip feel secure, comfortable and designed for a lifetime of
fine photography. At the heart of the COOLPIX 5000’s durable body
lies a large, 2/3-inch-type CCD. In front is a superhigh-precision
28-85mm* Zoom-Nikkor lens. Together they offer an unsurpassed
5.0 effective megapixels. And integrated into the electronics is
Nikon’s unique image processing algorithm, for rich,detailed
resolution and vibrant colors.
The result is a digital photography instrument of unprecedented
design, combining quality, durability, rapid response and ease of
use. The new Vari-angle LCD monitor, versatile exposure controls,
convenient accessory shoe, and smart, ergonomic engineering give
the COOLPIX 5000 creativepotentialsurpassing that of any other
consumer digital camera. It all adds up to expressiverefinement
thatis simply extraordinary.

5.0 effective megapixels
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
3
x 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 glassmolded
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.
Five-Area Multi Autofocus
The COOLPIX 5000’s Five-Area Multi
Autofocus with 7,514 steps
provides
unprecedented focusing precision. And for
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.
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 modemeasures, analyzes and memorizes
white balance values from any available neutral reference.
White Balance Bracketing
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
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.
Noise Reduction Mode
This feature takes you beyond the limits of
conventional digital photography, employing
a multiple exposure technique to eliminate
intrusive background noise buildup from the
CCD, and deliver extended time exposures
with excellent results.
Clear Image Mode*
Available for recording
image sizes of 1,280 x 960
pixels (SXGA size) or
smaller,
Clear Image
Mode takes full advantage
of the camera’s 5.0 effective
megapixels — adding and
averaging two pixels
vertically — to give you a
wider dynamic range and
superior S/N ratio.
Using a multiple exposure technique that incorporates noise reduction and
electronic processing, it produces an outstanding image with minimum noise
and beautiful color gradations.
* This feature is not recommended for moving subjects. Camera shake or subject movement may
result in a blurry image. Use of a tripod is advised.
Best Shot Selector
The Best Shot Selector
(BSS)
automatically selects
the “sharpest” image from a
series of consecutive shots
of a subject, giving you a
measure of safety that
proves particularly valuable
when taking macro and
telephoto pictures.
This feature can be used
even with uncompressed [HI]
image data.

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.
