A Photography Lesson
Using your very own in-camera assistant, the intelligent guide mode not only helps you to create great pictures, but helps you understand how the shot was achieved so you can develop your photographic skills for the future. Through guide mode you can choose a setting that matches the scene you want to create, this quick and easy-to-use feature will then do the rest. You can even view sample images of what you can expect from each setting, for example if you change the aperture or shutter speed settings.
Automatic Simplicity
The D3100 has a range of automatic settings to help create beautifully balanced photos at decisive moments. When Nikon’s highly praised live view is activated and Full-time-servo AF (AF-F) is selected, the camera will go to work even before you press the shutter release. Subject-tracking AF keeps your subjects in focus, even when they are in motion and the face-priority AF can instantly detect up to a maximum of 35 faces in a scene and even if the faces move the camera continues to track and focus in on them. Composing beautiful images is made so much easier with scene auto selector which automatically selects a scene mode suited to the shooting situation and subject. For added convenience, an icon of the selected scene mode appears in the top-left corner of the LCD monitor so you’ll know whether the camera has selected Landscape or Night Portrait mode for your next shot.
Flip the switch and you're ready to go - live view gives you an intuitive, familiar way to photograph subjects on the move.
Effortless Shooting
A variety of practical and innovative in-camera tools help to make the most of every shooting opportunity and ensure your pictures are captured to perfection. Some shots are so easy to miss but with the high-speed superior accuracy of the 11-point AF system the D3100 delivers razor sharp images by maintaining focus on even the smallest subjects however unpredictable their movements may be. And when facing extremely high-contrast lighting beyond the camera’s dynamic range, Nikon’s exclusive Active D-Lighting helps you maintain details in the highlights without losing them in the shadows. Boosting your creativity in picture control you can customise images before you shoot. Choosing from six creative settings you can determine the look and mood of your photos or video by choosing to change the image to Monochrome or Neutral. And with the extensive in-camera editing functions you can enhance images with techniques such as Red-Eye Correction and Quick Retouch, as well as a range of Filter Effects.
The D3100's precision high-speed 11-point AF system responds immediately to changes in scene or composition.
Breathtaking Movies
The D3100 isn't just a great stills camera; it’s equally at home shooting movies. Recording full 1080p HD at 24fps you benefit from the same exceptional optics and processing capability as in photo mode. And using Subject-tracking AF your action sequences will keep perfect focus. Once filming is complete you can make simple edits in-camera like trimming scenes before or after a designated point, saving specific frames as still images or deleting unwanted scenes.
