Nikon D3000 Body
The 10.2 megapixel D3000 makes it easier than ever to step-up to digital SLR photography and achieve great pictures with the new Guide Mode, which aids new users with step-by-step assistance when needed.
Through its intuitive user-friendly interface, the Guide mode assists users in choosing shooting modes for a variety of situations and, if they choose, exploring advanced photographic techniques. The Guide mode is easily accessed by the program dial on the top of the camera and displays a variety of shooting situations via the LCD screen, indicating the most appropriate setting for a particular scenario. There are also sample photos, which illustrate the effects of different photo-taking techniques.
The D3000 leverages proven Nikon technologies to create the most positive picture-taking experience for consumers. The D3000 delivers highly detailed images with vibrant colour reproduction and low noise across a broad ISO range, due to its 10.2-megapixel CCD image sensor coupled with Nikon’s exclusive EXPEED™ advanced digital image processing system technologies. The D3000’s normal ISO range extends from ISO 100 to 1600, allowing for low-light versatility. Additionally, the D3000’s ISO range can expand to a Hi 1 setting of ISO 3200, furthering the opportunities for shots that other cameras miss.
