The Nikon Coolpix P5100 is the new flagship model in the Nikon Coolpix
lineup, designed to satisfy photography enthusiasts. Built on a custom
application of Nikon's innovative EXPEED digital image processing concept and
incorporating the precision optics of a Nikkor lens, the Coolpix P5100 is built
to realize optimum performance and maximum image quality.
Class-leading imaging ability begins with a full 12.1 effective megapixels of
sharp resolution and a new digital image processing engine that reproduce the
finest details and subtlest tones with precision and clarity, even when taking
advantage of sensitivity settings as high as ISO 3200. (ISO 3200 is available
only for image sizes of 5 megapixels [2592 x 1944] or smaller.) It also includes
the compositional freedom of the 3.5x Zoom-Nikkor lens and compatibility with
various converter lenses that further extend wide-angle and telephoto reach.
In addition to a variety of automated and scene modes, four advanced exposure
modes offer both enthusiasts and more advanced photographers greater personal
control over the camera. The Mode dial provides easy access to these modes,
reflecting the Coolpix P5100's logical design that works to simplify and
streamline operation for the photographer.
Optical lens shift VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization counteracts
the effects of camera shake in lower light or when shooting unsteady subjects to
help achieve sharper results. Active full time, it also stabilizes images
displayed on the 2.5-inch high-resolution LCD monitor with wide 170-degree
viewing angle for easier framing and more reassured shooting.
The quality-crafted body is made of solid magnesium alloy (Mg), featuring a
quality finish, a comfortable grip covered in grid-pattern rubber, as well as an
optical viewfinder to aid composition, particularly in brightly lit conditions.
The built-in accessory shoe adds support for Nikon Speedlights and advanced
i-TTL flash control.
Nikon Coolpix P5100 Feature
Highlights
Superb image quality
Excellent imaging quality
is a priority for the Coolpix P5100, from the 12.1 effective megapixels of
imaging power produced by its 1/1.72-inch RGB CCD and new digital image
processing engine, to its powerful 3.5x Zoom-Nikkor lens and optical lens shift
VR.
Shooting modes that give the user greater control
Four
exposure modes accessed via the Mode dial provide greater control over camera
operation. Programmed Auto [P] mode automatically selects the optimal shutter
and aperture settings. Shutter-priority Auto [S] lets the user select shutter
speed, while the camera sets the optimal aperture. Aperture-priority Auto [A]
offers 10-step manual control over the aperture setting to let the user decide
depth of field, while the camera automatically adjusts the shutter speed. Manual
[M] exposure mode provides full control over both the aperture and shutter speed
settings.
Proven lens shift VR image stabilization
Optical lens
shift VR (Vibration Reduction) is field-proven technology originally developed
for interchangeable lenses used in Nikon SLR camera systems. The VR technology
provides the ability to shoot at shutter speeds as much as three stops slower
without blurring the image, as well as producing a smoother viewfinder image
which aids composition. Nikon's exclusive VR system also yields sharper results
when shooting in low light when using the 3.5x Zoom-Nikkor lens, or when
reaching farther with an optional telephoto converter lens.
ISO 3200
capability
Extended light sensitivity range up to ISO 3200 adds the power
to shoot more effectively in lower lighting conditions or to capture fast moving
subjects with outstanding clarity. And the new image processing engine produces
clear results, even when shooting with high ISO settings.
The
convenience of system expandability
Optional system components further
expand the photographic possibilities of the Coolpix P5100. Nikon's 0.67x
wide-angle converter (WC-E67) and 3.0x tele-converter (TC-E3ED) lenses are
available to extend the range of the attached 3.5x Zoom-Nikkor lens, while a
built-in accessory shoe supports the use of Nikon's advanced i-TTL flash control
for external flashes, including the Speedlight SB-400, SB-600, and SB-800. These
accessories are not included and must be purchased separately.
