D3000 - A Nikon DSLR That Anyone Can Use

Nikon D3000 is a new Digital SLR camera that uses DX-series Nikon lenses. It’s aimed at new digital photographers who want to exercise their creativity. Whether it’s grabbing point-and-shoot snapshots or exploiting techniques commonly used by more advanced photographers, the D3000 offers an inviting transition for anyone seeking to explore digital photography in a quick, simple way.

The D3000 features a new Guide mode — a hassle-free way for less-experienced picture-takers to master the capabilities of digital SLR cameras. Through its intuitive user-friendly interface, Guide mode assists users in choosing shooting modes for a variety of situations and, if they choose, in exploring advanced photographic techniques. From close-ups and landscapes to portraits with soft backgrounds and picture-taking opportunities of fast-moving action, Guide mode eases users into the world of digital SLR photography. In addition, settings made with Guide mode can even be fine-tuned before the shot in order to achieve the best possible photos.

With a 10-megapixel sensor, still pictures offer outstanding color, sharpness, and detail at up to 3,872 x 2,592 pixel resolution. Extending the D3000’s excellent performance is Nikon’s exclusive Scene Recognition System, Active D-Lighting, continuous shooting up to 3 frames-per-second, advanced 3D Color Matrix Metering II, and 11-point selectable autofocus. The D3000 also has a sharp, 3-inch LCD viewer for comfortable viewing.

After shooting, the D3000’s photo editing functions allow for in-camera retouching, lessening the need for a computer to enhance or modify images. The D3000 introduces a new Miniature effect under its Retouch Menu that modifies images to look like pictures of miniature models. Each editing function is applied to a copy of the image, with the original left unmodified.

Dust and small air particles have always been an annoyance to even the most seasoned photograppher. Nikon’s engineering team have come up with auto airflow technologies to help solve the problem. Dust reduction is handled by the Nikon Integrated Dust Reduction System. This is a comprehensive solution that reduces generation and accumulation of dust and also provides measures to remove dust.

Pictures are stored on removable SDHC memory cards. The Nikon D3000 also has a USB port for convenient connection to a computer and a Video output for viewing on a TV.
