Nikon COOLPIX 5000 User Manual

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 creative potential surpassing that of any other
consumer digital camera. It all adds up to expressive refinement
that is simply extraordinary.
