Stylish elegance meets advanced performance.
High-quality, compact stainless
steel body
From the solid feel and comfortable wraparound grip of the world's smallest* compact
stainless steel body to its large, easy-access
control buttons and 2.5-inch high-resolution
LCD monitor, the COOLPIX S500 is a joy to carry
and to take pictures with.
*Among competing models equipped with optical vibration reduction
as of February 20, 2007.
High response
All functions are optimized for immediate
response, freeing you to capture special moments
as you experience them. The COOLPIX S500
powers up within 0.6 seconds, and the shutter
releases in less than 0.005 seconds.
VR image stabilization
Nikon's optical lens shift VR (Vibration
Reduction) system compensates for camera
shake to produce clearer, sharper results in
lower light or unsteady conditions. Active
full time, VR's stabilizing effects also aid in
smooth, easy framing and shooting.
VR Unit
ISO 2000 capability
Light sensitivity range up to ISO 2000 with
manual control or auto control (up to ISO 1000)

more natural looking photos in lower lighting
conditions, or to capture fast-moving subjects
with outstanding clarity.
Anti-Shake button
One press of the button
simultaneously activates
the High-ISO, lens shift
VR and BSS (Best Shot
Selector) features of
Anti-Shake mode for
clearer results in low
light or when zoomed in
for close-ups.
