The D3100 provides an easy-to-use and affordable entrance into the world of Nikon digital SLRs with its powerful features, such as the enhanced Guide Mode that makes it easy to unleash creative potential and capture memories with still images and full HD video. With the D3100, it’s like having a personal photography tutor at your fingertips. The unique Guide Mode feature provides a simple graphical interface on the camera’s LCD that guides users by suggesting and/or adjusting camera settings to achieve the desired end result images.

Packed into the compact and lightweight body of the D3100 is a host of advanced Nikon technologies, such as the new EXPEED 2 image processing engine. EXPEED 2, in conjunction with Nikon’s new 14.2 megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor, is the driving force behind the camera’s enhanced performance and rich image quality. The D3100 features split-second shutter response and a blazing fast 11-point AF system to help ensure tack-sharp images. For shooting in challenging lighting conditions such as indoors or in the evening hours, ISO 3200 (expandable to 12,800) enables versatility to capture the moment.

The Nikon D3100 digital SLR allows users to capture stunning full HD, 1080p resolution (1920x1080) video. Users can record cinematic quality 24 fps video clips, or shoot at 24 or 30 fps at 720p, ideal for online sharing. With the array and versatility of NIKKOR lenses, users can create a variety of photographic effects to video, such as isolating subjects with a shallow depth of field or recording in low-light conditions. NIKKOR lenses also deliver the sharpness needed for HD video and Nikon’s Vibration Reduction (VR) II technology helps to eliminate camera shake.

The D3100 leverages proven Nikon technologies to create the most positive picture-taking experience for consumers of any skill level. With its new 14.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor and Nikon’s new EXPEED 2 image processing system, the D3100 delivers exceptional image quality with low noise. The EXPEED 2 image-processing engine enhances camera performance and helps to ensure high image quality while managing colour, contrast, exposure, noise and speed for optimal results. The D3100’s normal ISO range extends from ISO 100 to 3200, allowing users to capture sharp images, even in low-light conditions. Additionally, the D3100’s ISO range can expand to a Hi-2 setting of ISO 12800, furthering the opportunities for low-light shots that other cameras miss.

Other exclusive Nikon technologies include the Active D-Lighting system, which automatically rescues dark or backlit images to achieve even tones. This is especially useful when photographing subjects that are backlit by lights or the sun to provide an even exposure. What’s more, Nikon’s Scene Recognition system draws upon the 420-pixel RGB colour 3D matrix meter for outstanding exposures under a variety of lighting conditions by integrating a database of tens of thousands of sample images. The result is a camera intelligent enough to recognize when photographing a specific scene (such as a portrait or landscape) and automatically choose the proper camera settings.

To make taking great pictures even easier, the D3100 elevates Nikon COOLPIX technology and incorporates an Auto Scene Selector feature in Live View. This innovative function automatically selects the best scene mode to match shooting conditions. When engaged, the camera will automatically recognize when shooting a lush landscape or fast action sports and adjust the camera settings to create an astounding image. Six preset scene modes can also be accessed with the command dial on top of the camera to overcome many common shooting challenges.

Nikon has also introduced the ideal companion to the D3100, the new AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm VR lens, which gives users super-telephoto zoom capability for an affordable price. This is a perfect complementary lens when combined with the AF-S 18-55mm VR kit lens, and is great for capturing images of sports and wildlife. Photographers can also appreciate the D3100’s system expandability, as it is compatible with more than 40 legendary NIKKOR AF-S interchangeable lenses. While the D3100 offers a versatile built-in flash, the camera also operates with Nikon’s Creative Lighting System and is capable of Advanced Wireless Lighting when using the SB-900 Speedlight or the SU-800 Wireless Commander. Included with the camera is a new version of Nikon’s powerful image-editing application, View NX2. The latest edition of this software allows users to organize and edit both photos and video files easily. The D3100’s design also supports Eye-Fi memory card functionality, enabling the convenient wireless transfer of images from the camera to a computer, when using Eye-Fi memory cards.
