Capturing life in rich detail, the Nikon D3200 is a powerful, entry-level D-SLR that delivers beautiful, high-quality pictures and cinematic quality movies. With easy operation thanks to the step-by-step Guide Mode and features like the Scene Recognition System and Retouch functions, the D3200 provides everything you need to create a masterpiece. Comfortable to hold and simple to use, this exciting camera is designed specifically to make the joy of high quality D-SLR photography available to all.
Available in black or red, the Nikon D3200 is packed full of Nikon innovations and a high-megapixel sensor so you can shoot the images you’ve always wanted.
At the heart of the D3200 is an incredible 24.2 megapixel DX-format CMOS image sensor that works with the powerful EXPEED 3 image processor to provide remarkably clear images and excellent colour reproduction. Operating to an exceptional standard in all light conditions, the High ISO capability (100-6400 and extendable up to 12800) delivers brilliant shots and sharp images of fast moving subjects, even in poorly lit environments. With the exceptional speed and power this camera has to offer, you have the freedom to enlarge your images or crop them without losing any of the refined quality.
With the desire to inspire more photographers and help users to get the most out of feature-rich cameras like the D3200, Nikon’s Guide Mode offers clear step-by-step explanations and example images. Easily accessible through the mode dial found on top of the camera body, Guide Mode teaches you to set-up the camera, and shoot, view, delete or retouch images, as well as showing you how to take portraits with beautiful background blur, freeze the action, or obtain clear shots in low light. Building confidence in budding photographers, Guide Mode makes it easy for anyone to master key features and controls, without ever needing to open the camera manual.
For those who want to take their creative vision to video, Nikon’s D-Movie function gives you great compositional freedom. Recording in Full HD (1080p) at frame rates of 30p, 25p or 24p, this versatile camera offers superior video performance. 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. On the large 7.5cm (3 inch), 921k-dot, high-resolution LCD monitor you can playback movies, view photos in a slideshow or employ interesting effects like Zoom, Fade and Cube. Nikon D3200 movies can sound as good as they look too. Thanks to the camera’s built-in microphone and compatibility with Nikon’s external ME-1 Stereo Microphone, it’s easy to capture footage with crisp, clear sound. When it comes to sharing your latest creation, the HDMI output lets you connect the camera directly to an HDTV to enjoy your movies and photos in superb high-definition[1].
The D3200 has a range of automatic settings to help compose beautifully balanced photos and video 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 Face-priority AF instantly detects up to 35 faces in a scene, continuing to track and focus in on them even if they are moving. Capturing beautiful stills is also made 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 which mode, like Sports or Night Portrait, has been selected for your next shot.
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 accuracy of the 11-point AF system the D3200 delivers razor sharp images by maintaining focus on even the smallest subjects, however unpredictable their movements may be. Offering a frame rate of around 4fps in Continuous Shooting, a burst of images capture that decisive moment. When facing extremely high-contrast lighting beyond the camera’s dynamic range, Nikon’s exclusive Active D-Lighting helps maintain details in the highlights without losing them in the shadows. If you prefer to take greater control of exposure, the PSAM modes offer a complete range of semi-automatic and manual options. For greater creative control, effects like Selective Colour or Colour Sketch let you determine the look and mood of your photos or video, and with extensive in-camera editing options you can quickly enhance images with functions such as Red-Eye Correction and Quick Retouch.
Achieving superior images, the feature-rich D3200 will make sure your photos stand out from the smartphone crowd on any social network. Sharing your images is simple with the help of Nikon’s optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter. By attaching the adapter to the D3200’s USB connector you can transfer images directly to a smartphone or tablet and control the camera remotely via the smart device; a great way to easily share high-quality images, preview shots on a larger screen, or experiment with full-frame self-portraits[2].
With outstanding Nikon technologies behind every lens kit, you can feel confident that you will take amazing, high-quality photos. The D3200 is compatible with the full range of DX-format NIKKOR lenses and is available separately or in a lens-kit with the small retractable NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G VR II lens[3]. Whether you’re shooting fast action, taking a wide-angle group portrait in low light, or zooming in to capture distant subjects, Vibration Reduction (VR II) stabilisation enables up to 4 stops (16 times) faster shooting, helping ensure clear, blur-free images.
With incredible power, in-built photographic tuition and creative in-camera editing features, the Nikon D3200 achieves image perfection with ease.
