Stunning Images to Last a Lifetime

The new Nikon D3200 delivers outstanding image quality no matter the
user's skill level by leveraging Nikon's renowned technologies. The
new 24.2-megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor allows for incredibly sharp
images with stunning detail and less noise, while Nikon's EXPEED 3TM
image processing engine helps to create clear, lifelike images and
video with vivid colors, smooth tonal gradations and low noise.The
Nikon D3200 grants users impressive performance in low-light,
affording the ability to shoot with assurance even during night games
and school plays. With a native ISO range that extends from ISO 100 to
6400, the D3200 can also be expanded to a high of ISO 12,800 for
extreme low-light situations resulting in previously impossible
photos. Additionally, Nikon's Scene Recognition System works in tandem
with the camera's 3D Color Matrix Metering II to recognize factors
such as color and brightness for balanced exposures, accurate AF,
faithful white balance and beautiful flash photos.

Effortless Operation
\
Beginner photographers as well as those looking to expand their
repertoire of shooting techniques will appreciate the Nikon D3200's
Guide Mode which provides step-by-step photo instructions to capture
amazing images. Easily accessible through the Mode Dial found on top
of the camera body, the Guide Mode walks beginning D-SLR users through
the process of set-up, shooting, viewing and deleting images. Because
it asks the user what kind of creative photo technique they would like
to learn, the Guide Mode has been widely acclaimed for its ability to
build confidence and give users the tools to create amazing images. As
more people discover the benefits of replacing their camcorder with a
D-SLR, the Guide Mode also walks users through the best video settings
to create home movies with blockbuster flair. For those with a more
advanced skill level, the Guide Mode features helpful Assist Images
that serve as a visual reference to inspire users and illustrate the
desired result, while guiding them through easy-to-follow techniques.
Further taking the guesswork out of photography, the D3200 also
includes six Scene Modes. Photographers can set the Mode Dial to
Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sports, Close-Up or Night Portrait, and
the D3200 will automatically adjust camera settings for optimal
results in a variety of conditions.

Beautiful Home Movies in Full HD

When images alone can't tell the whole story, the Nikon D3200 offers
the full HD experience of high quality 1080p video. Users can create
memorable, cinematic quality videos at 24 or 30 fps and easily share
HD content online with friends and family or on their own HDTV via the
HDMI output.
Continuing down the path that its predecessor, the Nikon D3100,
started, the D3200 implements full- time AF during video recording to
help capture crisp video even during the most action-packed
situations. To boost the production value of any home video, the
camera offers manual or automatic exposure control, and a stereo
microphone input to attach an optional external microphone such as the
compact ME-1 Stereo Microphone. Furthermore, the D3200 offers other
HD-SLR advantages including the ability to create a shallow depth of
field, amazing low-light video performance and NIKKOR lens
versatility.

Capturing videos on the D3200 is simple, even when in Live View. With
a dedicated video record button and easy access to the Live View
switch, users can capture video clips before the moment is gone.
Additionally, videos play with astonishing detail and clarity on the
D3200's 3-inch, high resolution 921,000-dot LCD screen.

A Camera to Keep Pace with an Energetic Existence

An active lifestyle requires a capable camera that is ready at a
moment's notice, and the Nikon D3200 packs powerful technology to
tackle just about any challenge. Delivering up to 4 fps in high-speed
continuous shooting mode, the D3200 helps ensure that important,
spontaneous and easy-to-miss memories are captured, from a baby's
first smile to a game winning grand slam. Additionally, the
D3200's advanced 11-point AF system allows the user to find and keep
focus while maintaining a clear view of that subject. This advanced
focusing system is ideal for capturing tricky subjects like a dancer
mid-leap during the big recital or a dive for the line drive in
centerfield.

The Nikon D3200's power is amplified when combined with the
versatility of Nikon's legendary NIKKOR optics and powerful
accessories. Compatible with Nikon's dedicated DX-format lenses and
over 50 FX- format lenses as well as Nikon's Speedlight System, the
Nikon D3200 puts creativity at the user's fingertips. The optional
WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter for the D3200 allows the connected user
to easily share photos taken on the D3200 to an AndroidTM platform
based smartphone or tablet, so friends and family can enjoy the moment
almost as quickly as it happens.1 Android platform users are able to
wirelessly transfer images from the camera to a mobile device, preview
the image before shooting photos, and even remotely control the camera
from up to 49 feet. The Application for use with an Android platform
smartphone (2.3 series) and tablet (3.x series) is expected for
release in May 2012.2 Additionally, an Application for the iPhone® and
iPad® mobile digital device is expected for release in Fall 2012.3
