Nikon - Coolpix P530 16.1-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black
- General
- Brand: Nikon
- Model Number: 26464
- Product Name: Coolpix P530 16.1-Megapixel Digital Camera
- Color: Black
- Digital Camera Type: Point and Shoot Cameras
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 4608 x 3456 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: 1/4000 - 1 sec.; 1/4000 - 15 sec. (when ISO is set to 100 in M mode) (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Minimum Aperture: 3 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: 5.9 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Shooting Modes: Backlighting, beach, black-and-white copy, close-up, dusk/dawn, panorama assist, fireworks show, food, landscape, museum, night landscape, night portrait, party/indoor, pet portrait and more (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- Panorama Mode: true
- White Balance Modes: Auto, daylight, incandescent, fluorescent, cloudy, flash, preset (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Lens
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Not Applicable
- Flash
- Flash Modes: Slow sync, Automatic, Red-eye reduction (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
- Integrated Flash: true
- Display
- Display Type: LCD
- Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
- Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Storage
- Number of Memory Card Slots: 1
- Compatibility
- Tripod/Monopod Mountable: false (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)
- Memory Card Compatibility: Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC), Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), Secure Digital (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
- Features
- Face Detection: true (A function that automatically detects human faces and then sets focus and appropriate exposure to capture them.)
- Integrated GPS: No
- Records Audio: true
- Connectivity
- PictBridge Enabled: true (PictBridge allows digital cameras, camcorders and other image capture devices to connect and print directly to photo printers and other output devices without using a computer.)

Q: Does this camera include the battery and the charger, and the adapter to the pc? Thanks
A: Yes, the COOLPIX P530 comes with a Nikon EN-EL5 rechargeable Li-ion battery and the Nikon EH-70P Charging AC Adapter, along with a UC-E6 USB cable that is used to connect the camera to the charger or to a computer.
Q: How automatic is this camera?
A: Yes, the Nikon Coolpix P530 is a point-and-shoot camera, but with many optional manual settings. It is not a DSLR, and you cannot change lenses. It does, however, have an excellent wide-angle 42x telephoto lens, which is more than adequate for the non-professional photographer.
A: I can't offer you a comparison but I did purchase the Nikon Coolpix P530. I'm far from a professional photographer but been using various camera's for over 10 years. The Coolpix is simple to use and has a great zoom and storage capability. The auto feature takes solid pics but you have a ton of options for scene and other effects. Another cool feature is that you can transfer photo's from the camera to your smart phone using an optional WIFI dongle that connects to the camera. Ask the salesperson about this one. It connects fairly easily and I like to move some of the pics to my mobile. I think for a beginner it has many features to play with and learn the skill. I'm still working on some of the things but I've used the camera almost two months and I really enjoy it. As I mentioned, using the auto feature makes it pretty brain less which works good for me. The 60X zoom is cool so you won't have to change lenses for that feature. It's plenty for my use. Plus I thought the price was a good deal. When it first arrived it was over $400 so that's a plus. Hope this helps some.
Q: Is buying a refurbished camera safe? I mean is it as good as new?
A: If it is factory certified and comes with a full warranty, then yes. I've purchased many refurbished electronics and have had excellent service from nearly all of them. I've saved LOTS of money this way. Also, look closely at return policies before you buy. Best Buy is good about returns within their specified time frame. Their customer service is good, so they are a good retailer from which to buy refurbished items.
A: Glare can come from scratches, dust or dirt on the lens. A lens hood would help in some cases, but the Nikon P530 does not accept any filters or hoods (not threaded). However - There is very good functioning D-Lighting mode for brightly lit backgrounds (see menu in several modes). Read the manual
Q: Why does Best Buy say 4x's optical zoom
A: The COOLPIX P530 features a 42X optical zoom with an additional 4X digital zoom.
Q: viewfinder description on Best Buy website
A: It has a real view finder that fits your personal description as well as a display screen.
Q: Does this camera have a timer?
A: Yes, the COOLPIX P530 has a timer that can be set to 10 seconds or 2 seconds.
