Full 24.2-megapixel power

Full 24.2-megapixel power

Specifically designed without an optical low-pass filter (OLPF), the D3300’s image sensor makes the most of its 24.2-megapixel resolution to sharply capture even the finest textures and render images with incredibly crisp detail.

Special effects: With 13 different effects to choose from, the D3300 makes it easy to add a touch of artistry to your photos and movies. Simply select Effects Mode and choose the option you want to apply before shooting. Try Pop to brighten colours; fit the whole view in with Easy Panorama; or use Toy Camera to create a retro effect.

Razor-sharp 11-point AF syste No matter how quickly or erratically your subject is moving, the D3300 keeps everything in focus. Its razor-sharp 11-point autofocus system with a cross-type sensor in the centre will quickly lock onto your subject and keep it in sharp focus whether it’s off-centre, moving fast, or it’s completely unpredictable.

Go cinematic—Full HD movies: Use the camera’s D-Movie function to make movies you’ll be proud of. You can record sharp Full HD (1080p) video clips in any light at frame rates up to 50p/60p with continuous autofocus, meaning you get smooth recordings of even fast-moving action, plus a remarkable level of sharpness and clarity.

Large LCD screen: make the D3300 as easy to shoot with as a compact camera or smartphone by using the large 7.5 cm (3.0-in) LCD monitor to capture photos and movies. Compose or review shots and apply special effects with clarity thanks to the wide viewing angle and 921k-dot resolution.

Intuitive operation: Access D-Movie and Live View via dedicated one-touch buttons. Use the i button on the back of the camera to bypass the camera’s main menu and quickly change settings while you shoot. When shooting with the viewfinder, you can choose between a classic interface and a graphic interface that animates settings, so it’s easier to see what you’re doing.

Optical viewfinder: Shooting through the D3300’s clear, wide viewfinder makes it easy to capture perfectly timed photographs, especially when shooting fast-moving subjects from a distance.

Small syste Weighing just 410 g (body only) and boasting a small retractable kit lens, the lightweight D3300 makes it more comfortable than ever to carry a D-SLR. Despite its compact dimensions, a large comfortable grip makes it easy to hold the camera steady as you capture vibrant images of important moments wherever they take place.

NIKKOR lenses: Take advantage of Nikon’s renowned DX-format NIKKOR lenses that are designed to make the most of the D3300’s high pixel count. Enjoy photos and movies with vivid colour, striking contrast, and crisp detail: Use fast prime lenses for stunning portraits, try a micro lens for life-size close-ups, or a telephoto for clear images of distant subjects.
