Nikon Coolpix L5 News Release Summary:
Nikon’s new COOLPIX L5 compact digital camera combines a number
of high quality features with simple operation to deliver
outstanding performance and unrivalled results.
Such features include the powerful 5x Zoom-Nikkor lens which
offers a focal length of 38-190mm (35mm equivalent) to give
compositional freedom to the user. Intimate personal portraits
can be captured by zooming in and expansive outdoor scenes are
shot by zooming out. The same advanced lens shift Vibration
Reduction (VR) mechanism that was originally developed for
Nikon’s renowned SLR systems has also been integrated into the
new model, effectively complimenting the 5x zooming.
The CCD provides enhanced precision with minimized dimensions,
greatly adding to the camera’s compact portability. Boasting a
generous 7.2 effective megapixels, the new model matches the
refined image clarity that is expected of the COOLPIX family.
Images can be viewed instantly and clearly on the large, bright
2.5-inch LCD that features backlight to help compose superb
images and allows the user to play back at their convenience.
Three unique Nikon in-camera image innovations can be directly
accessed via a One-touch portrait button to help create a top
quality image. Face-priority AF* can automatically detect and
achieve accurate focus on a person’s face, no matter where they
are in the frame. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix can automatically detect
the red-eye effect sometimes caused by flash and compensate
in-camera. The D-Lighting function rescues underexposed images
or shots with too much backlight by creating a copy of the image
and adding light and detail where necessary.
A choice of 15 different Scene modes provides ideal settings for
everything from night portraits to beach parties. The user
simply selects the Scene mode best suited to the subject at hand
and the COOLPIX L5 automatically opts the perfect setting. Four
of the scene modes are complete with scene assist to help the
user compose the most successful shot.
The COOLPIX L5 is compatible with SD memory cards and features
8MB of internal memory to allow the user to continue shooting
when no additional memory is available, as well as easily moving
images from one SD card to another. The COOLPIX L5 offers movie
recording with sound in three modes: TV size (640) for viewing
on TV or computers, convenient Small size (320), and Smaller
size (160) for extended recording or Internet use. Despite the
fact the COOLPIX L5 is compatible with AA-size batteries in
alkaline, lithium, ZR6 oxyride, rechargeable or other forms, it
is rather compact.
The COOLPIX L5 even simplifies printing, with PictBridge
capability enabling direct connection to compatible printers
without the need of a computer in between. USB connectivity
eases transfer of data to computers and other peripherals.
Complimentary PictureProject accessory software completes total
convenience by greatly simplifying the importing, editing and
organizing of your images, and includes other options that add
to the fun of digital photography.
* Face recognition capability may be limited in some shooting
conditions.
Note: Specifications, design, product name, standard
accessories, and release schedule may differ by country or area.
Nikon COOLPIX L5 Feature Highlights
Lens shift Vibration Reduction (VR)
Impressive Lens shift VR technology, initially developed for
Nikon’s highly respected SLR camera systems, efficiently
compensates for varying levels of camera shake, enabling sharp,
clear images in active shooting situations. The new VR button
conveniently located on the top panel allows a choice of three
settings: Normal, Active and Off. The Normal setting compensates
for the minor and horizontal camera movement common to normal
shooting and panning. The Active setting is designed to
compensate for more pronounced camera movement, or when shooting
from an unsteady location such as a moving vehicle, delivering
image precision comparable to shooting at shutter speeds more
than two stops faster (wide-angle as well as telephoto).
High quality from a small CCD
Space efficiency helps facilitate the compact size of the
COOLPIX L5, its 1/2.5-inch CCD adding the advantage of
outstandingly high performance. Boasting an effective pixel
value of 7.2 million, the CCD enables the capture of crisply
focused, high-quality images that easily stand up to significant
enlargement.
5x zoom prowess
The COOLPIX L5’s remarkably compact dimensions belie the
incorporation of a powerful 38-190mm Zoom-Nikkor lens (35mm
equivalent), ensuring the expansive freedom of 5x zoom. This
high-precision lens allows zooming in for tightly composed
portraits, or zooming way out for expansively wide views,
providing greater compositional independence than the average
compact digital camera. Revolutionary VR technology ensures
no-blur images even in the telephoto range of the zoom.
Simplified features improve images in-camera
The One-touch portrait button on the top panel provides
convenient direct access to Nikon’s image innovations:
Face-priority AF*, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix and D-Lighting.
Face-priority AF automatically finds and then focuses in on a
person’s face, regardless of where they are in the frame, for
consistently crisp portraits. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix
automatically corrects any accidental red-eye that can occur in
flash photography, producing more natural-looking portraits.
D-Lighting rescues images with excessive backlight or
insufficient flash illumination by automatically creating a copy
of the selected image and adding light and detail wherever
needed.
* Face recognition capability may be limited in some shooting
conditions.
AA-size battery compatibility
Despite its compact dimensions, the COOLPIX L5 is compatible
with AA-size batteries, one of the most widely available battery
sizes in the world. A battery life of approximately 490 shots
with lithium, 150 shots with alkaline, or 250 shots with EN-MH1
batteries greatly augments its compact convenience.
