Back-Illuminated CMOS Image Sensor Helps Realize High Image Quality

With 16.1 effective megapixels of pure imaging power, the camera captures the high-resolution images you desire. Continuous shooting and compositing capabilities of the backside-illumination CMOS image sensor optimize performance when shooting at night or in dark indoor environments, delivering beautiful results and reproducing the finest details

42x Optical Zoom & Highly Advanced VR Image Stabilization

The 42x zoom Nikkor ED glass lens for the COOLPIX P510 features phenomenal focal range coverage of 24mm wide-angle to 1000mm super-telephoto (35mm format equivalent). At that focal length, Vibration Reduction (VR) image-stabilization technology certainly comes in handy, minimizing the blur caused by camera shake and delivering sharp images. Advanced VR is critical to aid in achieving consistently sharp results, particularly when taking advantage of the super-zoom or for macro photography

3" Vari-Angle LCD Display

The 3" vari-angle, 921k-dot (approx.) high-resolution Clear Color Display offers versatile reach and range. Featuring an anti-reflection coating to minimize glare at any angle, the display tilts as much as 90° (approx.) upward or 82° (approx.) downward

GPS Geo-Tagging & Logging Function

A high-performance GPS system records longitude & latitude location data for each shot, and you can also log your movement even when you're not taking pictures. Add a new dimension to photographic fun with geo-tagging! Track your progress as you explore, and record the location of that great image. There's also an electronic compass to record the camera's orientation, so you can later view the direction (along with location data) for each shot

Full HD 1080p Movie Recording

Record Full HD (1080p) movies with stereo sound at the touch of a button, and even capture still images while you're recording. An HDMI port is built-in for convenient display on almost any HDTV set

High-Speed Continuous Shooting Helps Capture All the Action

The COOLPIX P510 keeps you ahead of the action with high-speed shooting options. High-speed continuous shooting enables rapid capturing at 7 fps (approx.) for full-resolution (4608 x 3456) images (up to five continuous shots). Other high-speed modes include Sports continuous mode (approx. 60 fps / 120 fps) and the Pre-shooting cache

High Sensitivity

High ISO capability helps capture subjects beautifully in low light, without compromising natural light or requiring long exposure time. By enabling the selection of faster shutter speeds, it also makes it easier to capture fast-moving subjects with greater clarity

Optimized Controls & Designed for Efficient Handling

Adding to the flexibility of the vari-angle screen, the camera's handgrip is designed to help minimize camera shake. A side zoom control stabilizes handling

3D Photography

The 3D imaging capability makes it easy to create composite images that achieve realistic playback on 3D-capable TVs and computers

Smart Portrait System

Each of the advanced functions of the Smart Portrait system is designed to help produce consistently great portraits. The system comprises Skin Softening, Face-Priority AF, Smile Timer, Blink Warning, Blink Proof, and In-Camera Red-Eye Fix technologies

20 Scene Modes

20 easy-to-use Scene modes, including Scene Auto Selector, which automatically optimizes camera setting for best results

Motion Detection

Motion detection automatically selects a faster shutter speed and higher ISO (light sensitivity) setting to compensate for subject movement or camera shake

Special Effects

Special effects can be selected prior to shooting. These include Soft Focus, Sepia, High Key, Low Key, High Contrast, and Monochrome. Added for this generation are Silhouette and high-ISO Monochrome effects

Filter Effects

Filter effects can be applied after the still shot has been taken. These include Soft, Selective Color, Cross Screen, Fisheye, Painting, and Miniature

360° & 180° Panorama

Easy Panorama Mode allows seamless shooting of both 180° or 360° panoramas

Other Features

Nikkor optics, a 16.1 Mp CMOS sensor, and the Nikon EXPEED C2 image-processing engine combine to produce remarkably high image quality

Subject Tracking continuously focuses and tracks a designated moving subject

The Nikon COOLPIX P510 is not compatible with Eye-Fi X2-series cards

Enhanced Scene auto-selector

Charge the camera using the included USB AC adapter
