understand what the 3100 can do quickly and easily. Capture
beautiful pictures and amazing Full HD 1080p movies with sound

miss with a fast start up time, split-second shutter release, 3
frames per second shooting and 11-point autofocus. Capture
pictures and make movies in near darkness with an ISO range of
100 to 3200 (expandable to 12800-Hi2). EXPEED 2, Nikon's new
image processing engine, assures breathtakingly rich image
quality, managing color, contrast, exposure and noise. One-touch
Live View and movie lets you see the action on the 3"
monitor and the Scene Re System automatically chooses
the ideal settings. You can also select from 6 Automatic Exposure
Scene Modes- Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sports, Close-up or
Night Portrait for stunning results in otherwise challenging
conditions. Active D-Lighting restores picture-enhancing detail
in shadows and highlights. A built-in pop-up flash is ready for
those times when there just isn't enough light and in-camera
image editing allows creative freedom and effects, without the
need for a computer.

Exceptional image detail

DX-format 14.2-megapixel CMOS sensor
------------------------------------
Nikon equipped the D3100 with a newly developed CMOS sensor for
outstanding subject detail and smooth color gradation. Whether
shooting photos or Full HD movies, the sensor is crucial to image
quality. The high pixel count of D3100's sensor produces photos
of striking clarity, revealing all the nuance of the original
scene with minimum noise—ideal for intricately detailed textures
and noise-free background defocus.

Discover the difference a digital SLR makes when shooting movies.
A wide selection of NIKKOR lenses gives you freedom to explore
different angles and obtain lovely defocused backgrounds while
the D3100's advanced imaging system assures outstanding quality.
And for action sequences, new Subject-tracking AF keeps subjects
properly focused. After the shoot, view movies on the large
3-inch LCD and perform simple editing tasks like trimming scenes
before or after a designated point. HDMI compatibility lets you
connect the D3100 to an HDTV with an optional HDMI cable, with
playback managed by most TV's remote controls.

At only approx. 1 lb. 1.8 oz., the compact and lightweight D3100
goes where you go. And it's so easy to use thanks to the
ergonomic grip that simplifies shooting, both in horizontal and
vertical positions. New dedicated controls for frequently used
functions like Live View,

Nikon's Guide Mode
------------------
The sure way to obtain desired results
--------------------------------------
An enchanting portrait against a softly defocused background, or
a radiant couple surrounded by sparkling lights. Taking photos
like these is easy with the D3100's Guide Mode—in-camera guidance
that shows you step-by-step how to change camera settings. Just
select a Guide Mode setting that matches the scene then let Guide
Mode assist. Not only will you obtain the desired results, you'll
understand how you achieved them. Guide Mode even displays sample
photos so you'll know what to expect from each setting.
Catch the decisive moment
-------------------------
Split-second shutter response and continuous 3 fps shooting
-----------------------------------------------------------
D3100 can shoot approximately 3 frames per second—great for
capturing dynamic motion and elusive facial expressions that are
a challenge for any photographer. Simply rotate the release-mode
selector and shoot away. Split-second shutter response eliminates
the frustration of shutter delay, capturing moments that other
cameras miss.
