The
Nikon D3200 Provides New D-SLR Shooters a Powerful Combination of
Effortless Operation, 24.2-Megapixel High Resolution and Wireless
Connectivity to Mobile Devices
MELVILLE, N.Y. (APRIL 19, 2012)
– Today, imaging leader Nikon Inc. introduced the new 24.2-megapixel
Nikon D3200 HD-SLR; a camera designed for photo enthusiasts ready to
step up to a D-SLR or for the busy family memory keeper with an active
lifestyle who demands a camera that can keep pace. From low-light to
fast action, the D3200 delivers the amazing image quality Nikon is known
for, either indoors or outside. Whether new to photography or upgrading
from a point-and-shoot, the D3200 features Nikon’s acclaimed
instructive Guide Mode to help unleash the photographer in everyone.
From candid action shots to staged portraits that flatter, the Nikon
D3200 provides the power to capture every moment easily and beautifully
with stellar image quality and in stunning Full HD (1080p) video.
Ready
to tag along for any outing, the Nikon D3200’s compact, lightweight
body makes it easy to pack for a quick day trip or the long haul. A host
of advanced features, including a super high resolution 24.2-megapixel
DX-format CMOS sensor, Full HD (1080p) video recording with full time
autofocus (AF) and 4 frames-per-second (fps) high-speed continuous
shooting mode, prepare the D3200 for challenging lighting conditions and
fast paced action. Also, Nikon D3200 users will be able to take
advantage of the new WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter. When connected to
the camera, this optional adapter can wirelessly send images to mobile
devices like smartphones and tablets, preview an image before shooting
and control the camera remotely.
“When
every moment is as precious as the next one, having a camera that takes
the guesswork out of photography is important,” said Bo Kajiwara,
director of marketing, Nikon Inc. “The Nikon D3200 HD-SLR offers
effortless functionality and easy-to-use connectivity to mobile devices
that answers the call for a capable, entry-level D-SLR that will change how you share amazing images with your friends and family.”
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 3™ 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 ExistenceAn
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 Android™ 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
