Take it all in

High-flying birds. Frame-filling aerobatics. The COOLPIX P950 bridge camera packs an incredible 83x optical zoom (2000 mm equivalent) into a robust body. Whether you're at the air show or on safari, this superzoom gives you the freedom to get up close for standout photos and 4K movies.

Standout shots

You get great results from dawn to dusk thanks to the backside-illuminated CMOS sensor and bright NIKKOR lens with wide f/2.8 maximum aperture. Nikons EXPEED image-processing engine and Super ED glass reduce distortion at high zoom. Whether you're zooming in on a banking plane or filming shy wildlife, you#re ready for every opportunity.

WINDOW ON THE WORLD

The large 1 cm (0.39 in) 2359k-dot OLED electronic viewfinder gives a clear view. An eye sensor automatically switches from monitor to viewfinder shooting as you lift the camera to your face.

EXPLORE EVERY ANGLE

Compose incredible shots with the bright 8.1 cm (3.2 in) 921k-dot LCD monitor, which can be tilted and twisted in almost any direction. It#s easy to frame images when holding the camera up high or down low.

RAW IMAGE CAPTURE

Edit with high-quality files. The COOLPIX P950 supports RAW (NRW) image capture, letting you save and export uncompressed image files to your processing/editing program of choice.

Thrilling 4K superzoom movies

Easily record stereo 4K/UHD 30p footage, or Full HD (1080p) video at frame rates of up to 60p. Clean HDMI out lets you output videos to an external monitor during recording. A built-in microphone jack lets you use an external mic for better sound. Movie Manual mode lets you adjust key exposure settings while filming: ideal in changing light.

Star trails and dawn skies

The in-camera time-lapse function is perfect for showing skyscapes, star trails, or plants opening in a forest glade. You can record magical time-lapse movies of approx. 10 seconds duration, which play back at either 25 fps or 30 fps. Scene modes automatically set the most appropriate shooting interval for your subject

Always steady

Get steady photos and video footage, even when shooting handheld at super-telephoto lengths, or in low light. Nikons Dual Detect Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) lets you shoot up to five shutter stops slower than otherwise possible. VR Active mode delivers a more stable viewfinder and monitor image, ideal when you#re on the move

Catch anything

Bird-watching mode lets you select three different AF areas to keep fast-moving subjects in focus. Moon mode optimises camera settings for clear astronomical images: ideal for capturing the moon in all its phases.
