High Resolution LCD monitor
A superb performer with incredible range, the compact Nikon Coolpix P500 boasts an astounding 36x zoom, a tiltable high resolution 921K dot LCD monitor and Full (1080p) HD movie recording. Whether capturing a sweeping vista or getting up close to wildlife, the camera’s ultra 22.5mm wide-angle to 810mm super-telephoto coverage will make sure you get the shot you want.

Superzoom camera lens
Perfect for capturing distant objects and bringing them closer, such as in sports or wildlife photography, the 36x superzoom lens of the Nikon Coolpix P500 offers impressive capabilities. A unique side control lever also enables smooth, steady zooming throughout the long zoom range when shooting photos or movies.

Anti-blur technology
Anti-blur technology within the camera counters blurred images in seven key ways:
- Hybrid VR (Sensor-shift and Electronic Vibration Reduction) reduces the effect of camera shake and can be set simultaneously for additional protection
- High ISO (up to 3200) light sensitivity reduces the risk of blurred images with fast-moving subjects or in low-light
- Motion detection compensates for camera and subject movement
- Best Shot Selector (BSS) automatically selects the sharpest of up to 10 sequential shots
- Night Portrait Mode combines images with varying exposure to counter blur
- Night Landscape mode lets you shoot sharp images at low ISO
- HDR backlight mode offers impressive tonal detail in any situation

Film in Full HD
When filming in Full (1080p) HD with stereo sound, not only are the optical zoom and autofocus functions available, but you can also capture a photo at any time. Giving even more options, the Nikon Coolpix P500 can film in slow or fast motion using recording speeds of up to 240fps (QVGA). What’s more, a built-in HDMI connector with HDMI-CEC support enables you to link the Nikon P500 directly to an HD-enabled TV, and view your photos and films with family and friends.

Advanced EXPEED C2 Processing System
The original EXPEED image processing system incorporated all of the accumulated expertise and technologies developed throughout Nikon’s long history. Now, the latest evolution of Nikon’s renowned system, EXPEED C2, expands the possibilities of photography even further, with enhanced movie recording, high-sensitivity performance and maximum image quality. Nikon EXPEED C2 maximizes sensor performance for clear, life-like images that exhibit vivid colors, reduced noise and smooth tonal gradations for outstanding photos and movies.
