Main Features of the Nikon D3000 Digital SLR:
Nikon D3000 Digital SLR - Let the D3000 GUIDE you
For those tricky shots that cant afford to be missed, simply set the Mode dial to Guide, then let the D3000 assist in adjusting camera settings. Guide mode helps capture the moment to obtain the kinds of pictures expected from a quality digital SLR camera. The camera’s intelligent Guide mode helps take photography to new heights.
Nikon D3000 Digital SLR - Nikon DX-format CCD sensor; 10.2 effective megapixels
Combining a CCD sensor with Nikon’s famed EXPEED image processing system, the D3000 produces finely detailed photos that exhibit exceptional colour and sharpness as well as smooth gradation, and does so at lightning-quick speed. The highresolution enables beautiful enlargements without loss of sharpness.
Nikon D3000 Digital SLR - 11-point autofocus system for tack-sharp results
The diamond-shaped array of 11 autofocus points provides outstanding coverage for achieving focus no matter where the subject is located in the frame. Additionally, four AF-area modes Single-point, Dynamic-area, Auto-area, and 3D-tracking cover any situation, from fast or unpredictable action to static, off-center subjects.
Nikon D3000 Digital SLR - Active D-Lighting What you see is what you get
Shooting in bright sunlight often produces pictures with extreme contrast between light and dark areas, resulting in loss of tone and detail. Active D-Lighting effectively combats this by preserving important details in shadows and highlights. The results are optimally exposed photos that better reflect the scene as you saw it.
Nikon D3000 Digital SLR - 3.0-inch LCD monitor goes easy on the eyes
Image playback and viewing menus is now easier than ever thanks to the 3.0-in., 230k-dot TFT LCD monitor. The large monitor also results in text size that is 20% larger than on previous Nikon digital SLR cameras.
Nikon D3000 Digital SLR - In-camera photo editing
After shooting, the D3000’s photo editing functions allow for in-camera retouching, lessening the need for a computer to enhance or modify images. Each editing function is applied to a copy of the image, with the original left unmodified.
