For instance, the D-Lighting setting compensates for low light situations or excessive flash lights; the Best Shot Selector mode automatically selects the sharpest image while discarding others, among the series of shots simultaneously taken; the Red-Eye Fix removes red eye; and the Face-Priority AF automatically focuses on the faces of your subjects letting you to switch between them so as to ensure you that you take a clear shot of your subjects no matter where they are positioned in the frame. There are a lot more other settings in the Nikon Coolpix P5000 that will leave you feeling dazed, once you try to figure out what other features this compact digital camera houses.
