Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Introducing the first digital camera to remove red-eye effect in the camera--the Nikon Coolpix 5200. This metal-bodied compact digital camera features a thinner body and more stylized feature than its predecessors (the Coolpix 2200 and 3200 models) It offers a 5-megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom, and image storage via the 12 MB built-in memory or Secure Digital memory cards.

Optics and Resolution
The 5.0-megapixel CCD lets you capture spectacular images at resolutions up to 2592 x 1944 (15 MB file) and print enlargements at sizes up to 16 x 20 inches. It also features 2048 x 1536 (3MP), 1600 x 1200 (2MP), 1280 x 9600 (1MP), 1024 x 768 (PC), and 640 x 480 (TV) resolution modes. The retractable 3x Nikkor zoom lens has a focal range of 7.8 to 23.4mm (equivalent to a 38-114mm lens in 35mm format), and features aspherical elements and an ED glass element. The Coolpix 5200 also has a 4x digital zoom.

Movie Mode
Capture video with audio at 30 frames per second (fps) at three different settings: 640 x 480, 320 x 240, or 160 x 120 pixels. Movie length is only limited by the amount of storage you have on hand (either internal memory or external memory cards).

More Features
The exclusive Nikon In-Camera Red-Eye Fix function analyzes image data and corrects typical instances of red-eye in less than 3 seconds. It's activated when the camera is set to the red eye reduction flash mode, where a the typical pre-flash first minimizes red eye effect. The camera then analyzes the picture using powerful image processing and analysis technology, which is completely automatic and transparent.

You have a choice of automatic, preset, and 7 manual white balance modes. Additionally, the Coolpix 5200 divides the shooting area into segments to determine the most appropriate setting for the capture of faithful colors. There's also a white balance bracketing function, which takes a series of three shots at different white balance settings with just a single press of the shutter release button.

Other features include:

• 1.5-inch, 110,000 pixel LCD and real-image zoom viewfinder
• Built-in flash with red-eye reduction, auto, anytime flash, flash cancel, and slow sync modes
• 15 scene modes, including four with Scene Assist (Portrait, Night portrait, Landscape, Sports); others include Sunset, Close up, Museum, Beach/Snow, Fireworks show, Back light, Party, Copy, Dusk/Dawn, and Night Landscape
• Best Shot Selector (BSS) takes a series of shots, then automatically picks and records the clearest one
• Macro shooting capability as close as 1.6 inches

Printing
The Coolpix 5200 is PictBridge compatible, which enables you to transfer pictures from your digital camera to your printer, without a PC or image-editing software. All PictBridge devices share three basic features: camera-to-printer connecting, single-image printing, and uniform error messages (in case something goes wrong)

Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on either the internal 12 MB flash RAM memory (storing approximately 10 high-resolution images) or on optional Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB 1.1 connectivity, which means the camera can be connected to any USB-based Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.

Power and Size
The camera is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (EN-EL5), which has an approximate battery life of 150 frames. It measures 3.5 x 2.3 x 1.4 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 5.5 ounces without battery or memory card.
