Building on the success of previous L series cameras, the L5 includes new technology designed to enhance the experience of the point and shoot consumer. The L5 is equipped with a high-powered 5x zoom lens for creative control and freedom in a variety of settings from intimate personal portraits to large or wide outdoor scenes.

Nikon’s In-Camera Image Innovations add to the convenience of the L5 by giving users the power to automatically improve images in-camera. For ease of use, the COOLPIX L5 is equipped with a One-Touch Portrait Button, which activates Nikon’s In-Camera Innovations. This system includes Face-priority AF, which automatically finds and focuses on a subject’s face, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, which automatically corrects red-eye, and D- Lighting, an innovation that automatically corrects images with insufficient light. The L5 is equipped with Blur Warning, which alerts the user when an image is blurred and Best Shot Selector, a feature that identifies and saves the sharpest image from a series automatically.

Compact and easy-to-carry with a smooth and elegant design, the L5 packs an incredible amount of technology into a palm-sized camera. The L5 is compatible with AA-size batteries in alkaline, lithium, oxy-nickel and rechargeable batteries to keep you shooting while on the move. For storage, the camera has 8 MB of internal memory and is compatible with an array of SD memory cards.
