Nikon Coolpix P530 16.1 MP Digital Camera - Black

The P530 is the compact camera for those who demand superior quality and control. With an ultra-powerful 42x optical zoom and 84x Dynamic Fine Zoom, this camera offers super-telephoto shooting in a compact body. Its advanced 16.1-megapixel CMOS captures incredible detail and colour. Night photography is made possible by its maximum ISO sensitivity of 6400. With a host of special effects, this camera opens up a new world of possibilities.

Incredible close-ups
The P530 gives you the power of a super-telephoto lens in an easy-to-carry camera. Capture the action up close in amazing details with the 42x optical zoom lens. For even more extreme close-ups, the P530 features an 84x Dynamic Fine Zoom*.

Brilliant shots day and night
Capture sun-drenched days and sparkling nights with ease. With a maximum ISO sensitivity of 6400, the P530 delivers breathtaking clarity and vivid colours in a wide range of lighting conditions.

Images that are out of this world
Among the P530’s many Scene Modes, you’ll find the unique Moon Mode. This innovative function lets you capture sharp super-telephoto shots of the moon – a high-contrast shot that many cameras simply cannot capture. If you’re a bird lover, use the fast and precise Bird-Watching Mode to shoot close-ups of wild birds in action.

Ready when you are
Never miss the moment again. Its fast autofocus takes as little as 0.20 seconds to lock on to your subject. For fast-paced action, the P530 features continuous shooting of up to 7 frames per second at maximum resolution.

Unshakeable quality
Achieve crisp images while shooting in motion or at full zoom, thanks to its high-performance lens-shift Vibration Reduction (VR) and ACTIVE mode. Used together, these functions reduce camera shake so well that they produce an effect similar to a shutter speed that is 3.5 stops faster. This means optimum sharpness for your photos and videos.

Special occasions deserve Full HD
The P530 records true-to-life Full HD videos in 1080p/60i format and with stereo sound. While recording, a precise autofocus ensures perfectly sharp subjects. You can even create a high-quality still image from a video frame.

Bring your imagination to life
Get creative with the P530’s wide range of Special Effects and Filter Effects. These include Soft Portrait, Photo Illustration, Multiple Exposure and more.

Built-in support for wireless sharing
Sharing your shots right from the camera is easy. Simply use an optional Eye-Fi card or the optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter to instantly transfer files to your computer or smart device using the downloadable Wireless Mobile Utility app.

Get close with 42x optical zoom super-telephoto capability
Capture faraway landmarks and wildlife with ease. The NIKKOR lens offers 42x optical zoom from 24 mm* wide-angle to 1000 mm* telephoto, and using Dynamic Fine Zoom provides amazing 84x** zoom capability without compromising the high resolution. New Scene modes such as Bird-watching mode and Moon mode let you easily take beautiful wild birds and lunar shots without complicated settings.

Shoot steady even on the move
High-performance lens-shift VR (Vibration Reduction) provides an effect equivalent to a shutter speed 3.5 stops faster* for a steady picture even in the extreme telephoto range, and is equipped with ACTIVE mode to further minimize camera shake when shooting from a moving vehicle or while walking.

Advanced technologies for high-quality photos and movies
The Backside illumination CMOS image sensor, EXPEED C2 image-processing system and NIKKOR lens work in concert to deliver high-quality photos and movies even in low light.

Comfortable D-SLR-like operability in a compact body
Design details such as the electronic viewfinder, enhanced grip, and Function button provide operational flexibility and comfort similar to a D-SLR. Precise image composition and image confirmation can be performed using the 7.5 cm/3-in., approx. 921k-dot high quality monitor.

Abundant functionality to shoot the way you want
Explore your creative side by using the P/S/A/M exposure modes to your best advantage. Count on COOLPIX Picture Control if you want to further customize your shots by adjusting vividness and sharpness.

High-speed response
The fast AF and shutter response lets you react to photo opportunities instantaneously. Clearly capture rapid action using Continuous H (in maximum image size at 7 fps, up to 7 frames) mode.

Focus precisely with Peaking
When adjusting the focus manually, the edges of a focused area are emphasized with white on the monitor image to help you focus accurately.

Maintain optimum contrast with Active D-Lighting
Nikon's exclusive Active D-Lighting function offers the ability to preserve details in the highlights and shadowy areas of images shot in high-contrast scenes such as those that are backlit.

Shoot creatively as you’ve envisioned with Multiple exposure
Exposes the image multiple times to enable experimentation with advanced photographic technique and personalization of your photographic expressions.

Save time by charging the battery at high speed
Highly efficient Charging AC Adapter and improvements in the camera’s charging system contribute to a major reduction in the time it takes to charge the battery.

Full HD 1080/60i movie recording*
P530 delivers high-quality Full HD 1080/60i movies. It renders various fast-moving scenes naturally, such as galloping horses, the splashing of water or the view from a moving car.
