A photographer’s eyes are vital for
seeking out inspiration, but the right camera can take us above and
beyond what the naked eye is capable of. From soaring aircrafts to
astronomical wonders, the 83x optical zoom and 166x Dynamic Fine Zoom1 2 of
the Nikon P950 lets you capture subjects that the typical portable
camera simply cannot, effectively doubling its reach to a 4000mm
equivalent.
For smaller subjects that require a closer look, Macro AF means you can focus on subjects as close as approx. 1 cm/0.4 in.
Versatility and reaction time can be the difference between a stunning
photo and a spurned opportunity, and this camera’s fast response with
increased autofocus speed at the telephoto side enables you to be quick
on the draw when shooting decisive moments.
Increased buffer memory allows users to take the best shot easily with continuous shooting up to 10 frames3 4 with 7 fps enabled up to two times in a row. This camera thrives long after the sun has set thanks to its EXPEED image-processing engine and high-sensitivity back-illuminated CMOS sensor which allows ISO up to 6400, ensuring high quality image in even the darkest scenarios.
Crystal Clear Precision
Clarity should never stand
in the way of inspiration. This compact camera makes fine use of the
Dual Detect Optical VR, which provides compensation effect to a shutter
speed of approximately 5.5 stops5 faster, allowing capture of sharp images and videos with optimal exposure regardless of shooting situations. On top of that, the camera provides NORMAL and ACTIVE framing modes, which suppresses shifts in composition between the intended framing and resulting viewfinder image – a particularly effective feature when shooting super-telephoto.
Amplify your Creativity
A great camera should let
you harness your creativity, not impede it. Equipped with both Moon and
Bird Watching modes, the P950 lets you photograph those subjects without
fiddling for complicated settings. Bulb and Time shooting options let
you ramp up the creative possibilities of long exposure photography,
with shooting performance that lives up to your lofty standards.
The cherry on top? The P950 also supports RAW image output, meaning that data from the image sensor and setting information can be recorded to maintain the highest image quality, which expands the image enhancement and post-processing possibilities.
Share your Vision
Let the world see your life in high
definition. Clean HDMI output is a hugely beneficial feature for
videographers who like to use an external monitor during shooting. The
camera’s ability to shoot 4K UHD (2160/30p) is unmistakable when posting
on social media channels, letting none of your inspiration or image
quality get lost in the process.
While it excels
shooting stills, this camera’s wealth of speed options during movie
recording is a standout feature. The ability to select from high-speed,
medium-speed and to low-speed of approximately 30s makes for wonderfully
smooth videos to achieve your desired outcome.
If time-lapses are your thing, the camera lets you reflect dynamic landscape changes over approximately 10 seconds at 30fps or 25fps which can be automatically produced from still images captured in interval timer shooting. For those who like greater control of exposure settings in videos, the movie manual allows users to express their images in line with what their creative vision requires.
Intuition Meets Operation
What is a camera without its bells
and whistles? The P950’s accessory shoe lets you incorporate speedlights
and external microphones amongst other accessories, all of which
expands your creative horizons.
The ultra-high
definition, 0.39-inch electronic viewfinder equipped with an eye sensor
enables you to shoot with precise composition, crisply and clearly.
Operability is a strong point of the P950, with useful functions like
the Snap-back zoom, Side zoom control and Side dial, allows for
super-telephoto zoom for wild birds, hang gliders and balloons, to close
distance wide-angle shooting for butterflies and flowers. These
intuitive control keeps stunning optical performance at your fingertips.
Creative freedom and the ability to pursue unique compositions is
expanded by the inclusion of a 3.2-inch vari-angle TFT LCD monitor
equipped with an anti-reflection coating to ensure clear visibility even
under direct sunlight.
For those moments when you
need to step away from your camera, Snapbridge allows your smartphone to
function as a Bluetooth-enabled remote controller, letting you to take
stills and movies, as well as zoom and adjust manual focus settings,
even from a distance. You can also send photos from the camera straight
to your smartphone, then edit and share like instantly on social media.
With everything weighing in at approximately 1005g, the impressive P950 won’t be a burden on any photography mission.

1. *1 Battery life does not reflect the use of SnapBridge
and may vary with the conditions of use, including temperature, the
interval between shots, and the length of time that menus and images are
displayed. *2 Individual movie files cannot exceed 29 minutes in
length, even when there is sufficient free space on the memory card for
longer recording. The maximum size of a single movie file is 4 GB. If a
file exceeds 4 GB even when you record for less than 29 minutes, it is
split into multiple files and cannot be played back continuously.
Recording may end before the maximum recording time is reached if the
camera temperature becomes elevated.
