Take your photography to the next level

You know how to take a snapshot, but point-and-shoot just isn't doing it for you anymore. You need the flexibility and high quality that comes with a DSLR camera. How do you know where to start, though? Nikon's D3300 may be just the camera to help you take your photography hobby to the next level.

Take your photography to the next level

You know how to take a snapshot, but point-and-shoot just isn't doing it for you anymore. You need the flexibility and high quality that comes with a DSLR camera. How do you know where to start, though? Nikon's D3300 may be just the camera to help you take your photography hobby to the next level.

With a large CMOS sensor and 24 megapixels on board, this camera will produce high-resolution images you'll be proud to frame and hang on the wall. Track a moving subject with 11 auto-focus points, then fire off up to five frames per second to capture the action. The new EXPEED 4 image processor makes sure you're getting subtle, accurate colors in any type of light. All of that power and speed comes in a lightweight body that fits comfortably in your hand, along with an included lens.

Room to grow

As you become more comfortable with your camera's settings, it's natural to want to take charge of the details. The rotating Mode Dial on the upper right side of the chassis is your gateway to full creative control. Each function that can be handled automatically by the camera can be turned over to you in manual mode. Dip your toes in the water with shutter and aperture priority modes, or dive into the deep end on full Manual. The D3300 lets you find your own comfort level while you grow as a photographer.

If you need moving pictures to tell your tale, the D3300 is also an excellent video camera that records high-definition video at 1080p resolution. There's a mono mic built in, but you have the option of adding an external microphone via the included 3.5mm jack for even better sound.

The perfect starter lens

The ability to change lenses to match your environment is one of the exciting features of a DSLR camera, but deciding which one you need as a first lens can be daunting. Nikon has bundled the 3300 with the durable, all-purpose AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II lens to help get you started. The 18-55mm focal length gives you the flexibility to shoot portraits as well as landscapes, zooming in to bring details closer when necessary. The vibration reduction feature will keep your image steady even when you're shooting without a tripod.

Share your vision

Want to start editing and sharing your images right away? Use the optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter (sold separately) to upload photos instantly to your smartphone or tablet, where they can go live on social media. If you're on an adventure, the GP-1 GPS module will help tag your photos with all of the relevant geographical details. When you're home relaxing, or there's no Wi-Fi handy, the 3300 offers built-in USB and mini-HDMI connections to help you display your photos on your high-definition television, print copies on your printer, or save them to your hard drive.

    Recording Features

    Overview: The Nikon D3300 18-55mm VR Kit includes the Nikon D3300 digital SLR camera body and the AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm, f/3.5-5.6G II VR Image Stabilization Zoom Lens. The kit also includes a EN-EL14a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery pack and a battery charger.

    LCD Monitor: The Nikon D3300 has a 3" TFT LCD monitor featuring approximately 921,000 dots and adjustable brightness (-3 to +3). The large 3" LCD monitor has large fonts with easy-to-view menus. The monitor can display shooting information such as shutter speed, aperture, and number of exposures remaining as well as the settings currently applied. You can choose from a classic information display or a graphic display.

    Live View: The camera features Live View, which allows you to frame your photographs in the monitor instead of the viewfinder. When the Live View button is pressed, the mirror is raised and the view through the lens will be displayed in the monitor. The subject will no longer be visible in the viewfinder. The Live View display will show up to 13 items, including shooting, focus, and AF-area modes, along with other status indicators. You can opt to hide many of the indicators, or overlay a framing grid in the monitor.

    Optical Viewfinder: The D3300 uses a fixed eye-level penta-mirror single-lens reflex viewfinder with a built-in diopter adjustment to set the viewfinder to your personal eyesight (with or without glasses). The viewfinder's coverage area is approximately 95% horizontal and vertical. During self-timer or remote control operation when your eye does not cover the viewfinder eyepiece, stray light may enter the eyepiece and affect the exposure when the image is captured. To prevent this, you can use an optional eyepiece cap to cover the eyepiece.

    Image Sensor: The D3300 features a 23.5mm x 15.6mm DX-format CMOS image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately 24.78 million pixels and an effective pixel count of approximately 24.2 million.

    Dust Reduction System: The image sensor is equipped with a low-pass filter to remove dust or dirt on the sensor. You can set the camera to clean the image sensor automatically at startup, or at shut down, or both. It can also be set to turn the auto cleaning function off.

    Recording Media: The camera records images on Secure Digital (SD) memory cards up to 2 GB in size, SDHC memory cards of 4 GB to 32 GB, and SDXC cards of 64 GB to 128 GB. No SD cards are included with the camera. The camera has no internal memory.

    Still Image Formats: The D3300 records still images in JPEG and NEF (RAW) formats. You can choose from the following Image Quality and Image Size settings:

    Quality Option
    (Compression ratio)
    Available Image Sizes Description
    NEF (Raw) 6000 x 4000 Raw 12-bit data from the image sensor is saved directly to the memory card in compressed Nikon Electronic Format (NEF). Settings such as white balance and contrast can be adjusted in the camera or on a computer after shooting.
    NEF (Raw) + JPEG Fine 6000 x 4000 Two images are recorded, one NEF image and one fine-quality JPEG image.
    JPEG Fine

    Easy Panorama: You can record panoramic photographs in multiple sizes. With the Easy Panorama feature, you can pan horizontally or vertically in either direction while the camera takes continuous shots. The panoramas can be displayed in full-frame motion in the LCD monitor. You can choose from the following image sizes:

    • Normal Horizontal Pan: 4800 x 1080
    • Normal Vertical Pan: 1632 x 4800
    • Wide Horizontal Pan: 9600 x 1080
    • Wide Vertical Pan: 1632 x 9600

    Movie Recording: The D3300 records movies in High Definition in 16:9 aspect ratio and Standard Definition in 3:2. Movies are recorded in MOV file format, with H.264/MPEG-4 advanced video coding, and Linear PCM audio, recorded by the built-in monaural microphone or optional external stereo mic. Movies can be recorded in the following frame sizes and rates:

    Frame Size (pixels) Frame Rate (fps) Maximum Length
    High/Normal Quality
    1920 x 1080 (16:9) 60p (59.94 fps) (NTSC) 10 min/20 min
    50p (PAL)
    30p (29.97 fps) (NTSC) 20 min/29 min 59 sec
    25p (PAL)
    24p (23.976 fps) (NTSC)
    1280 x 720 (16:9) 60p (59.94 fps) (NTSC)
    50p (PAL)
    640 x 424 (3:2) 30p (29.97 fps) (NTSC) 29 min 59 sec/29 min 59 sec
    25p (PAL)

    Focus Modes: You can choose from the following autofocus and manual focus modes:

    • Auto-servo AF (AF-A): Camera automatically selects single-servo autofocus if subject is stationary, and continuous-servo autofocus if subject is moving.
    • Single-servo Autofocus (AF-S): For stationary subjects. Focus locks when shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
    • Continuous-servo Autofocus (AF-C): For moving subjects. Camera focuses continuously while shutter release button is pressed halfway.
    • Manual (M): Manual focus is available for lenses that do not support autofocus (non-AF Nikkor lenses) or when autofocus does not produce the desired results.

    AF Assist Illuminator: The built-in AF assist illuminator enables the camera to focus even when the subject is poorly lit. This feature will light automatically to assist the autofocus operation when the shutter release button is pressed halfway. It has an operating range of 1'-8" to 9'-10". The length of some telephoto or zoom lenses may block the illuminator's light, making the feature ineffective or unavailable.

    AF-Area Modes: The D3300 offers a choice of four focus areas that together cover a wide area of the frame. The AF-area mode determines how the focus area is selected and what happens if the subject moves out of the selected focus area while the camera is still focusing. You can choose one of the following AF-area modes:

    • Single Point: You select the focus area manually and the camera focuses on the subject in the selected focus area only. The selection can be made from any one of the eleven AF spot sensors.
    • Dynamic Area: In AF-A and AF-C modes, the user selects focus point manually but camera will focus based on information from surrounding focus points if subject briefly leaves the selected point.
    • Auto Area: Camera automatically detects subject and selects focus point.
    • 3D-Tracking (11 points): In AF-A and AF-C focus modes, you select the focus point using the multi-selector. If subject moves after camera has focused, camera uses 3D tracking to select new focus point and keep focus locked on original subject while shutter release pressed halfway. If subject leaves viewfinder, you will need to remove finger from shutter release button and recompose photo with subject in the selected focus point.

    Focus Lock: Focus Lock can be used to change the composition after focusing, making it possible to focus on a subject that will not be in one of the focus points in the final composition.

    Release Modes: The camera can take pictures one at a time, or continuously as long as the shutter release button is pressed. You can also take photos using the self-timer or with an optional remote control. The camera allows you to choose from the following Release Modes:

    • Single Frame: The camera takes one photograph each time the shutter release button is pressed
    • Continuous: The camera records photographs up to 5 frames per second while the shutter release button is held down.
    • Quiet Shutter Release: The camera takes a single photograph, as in Single Frame mode, except that the camera makes no shutter sound when shooting or beep when focusing.
    • Self-timer: This mode can be used to reduce camera shake or for self-portraits. The shutter is released about 2, 5, 10, or 20 seconds after shutter-release button is pressed depending on setting. You can set the camera to take 1-9 exposures.
    • Delayed Remote: Shutter is released 2 seconds after the shutter release button on the optional ML-L3 remote is pressed.
    • Quick-response Remote: Shutter is released when the shutter release button on the optional ML-L3 remote is pressed.

    Nikon 3D Color Matrix Metering II: The D3300's 3D Color Matrix Metering II evaluates each scene for brightness, color, contrast, size and position of shadows and highlights, selected focus area and camera-to-subject distance, comparing that information against an onboard database of more than 30,000 actual photographic scenes. The result delivers instantly and precisely determined exposures for each scene, even in challenging lighting conditions. It is active when using type G or D lenses.

    Metering: You can choose from the following Metering Modes to determine how the camera sets exposure:

    • Matrix: Produces natural results in most situations. Camera uses 420-pixel RGB sensor to meter a wide area of the frame and set exposure according to tone distribution, color, composition, and with type G or D lenses, range information. (See 3D Color Matrix Metering II above). With other CPU lenses, the camera uses color matrix metering II, which does not include 3D range information.
    • Center-weighted: The camera meters the entire frame but assigns greatest weight (75%) to center area.
    • Spot: The camera meters exposure in active focus point only. This ensures that the subject will be correctly exposed, even when background is much brighter or darker.

    Shooting Modes: The Mode Dial on the top of the camera offers a choice of shooting modes, divided into the following categories:

    • Guide Mode: The Guide Mode gives you access to a variety of frequently-used and useful functions. In the Guide Mode, you can shoot photos, view and/or delete pictures, or change camera settings.
    • Auto Modes: You can choose from two Auto modes for simple point-and-shoot photography: Auto and Auto (Flash Off).
    • P, S, A, and M Modes: Select one of these modes for full control over the camera settings: Programmed Auto, Shutter-priority, Aperture-priority, and Manual.
    • Scene Modes: The camera automatically optimizes the settings to suit the scene selected with the mode dial. Scene modes include Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sports, Close Up, and Night Portrait.
    • Special Effects Modes: Special effects that can be used during shooting include: Night Vision, Super Vivid, Pop, Photo Illustration, Color Sketch, Toy Camera Effect, Miniature Effect, Selective Color, Silhouette, High Key, Low Key, HDR Painting, and Easy Panorama.

    Scene Auto Selector: When in Live View in Auto or Auto Flash Off modes, the camera will automatically analyze the subject and select the appropriate shooting mode when autofocus is enabled. Modes that can be selected include: Portrait, Landscape, Close Up, and Night Portrait.

    AE/AF Lock: If your subject is off-centered in the frame, it can become difficult to achieve proper exposure and focus. By engaging the AE/AF Lock feature, you can focus and meter on your subject, lock the exposure and focus by pressing the shutter release button halfway, then recompose your shot before taking the picture. You can choose from the following AE/AF Lock settings.

    • AE/AF Lock: both focus and exposure lock while the AE/AF lock button is pressed
    • AE Lock: exposure locks while the AE/AF lock button is pressed while the focus is unaffected
    • AF Lock: focus locks while the AE/AF lock button is pressed while the exposure is unaffected align
    • AE Lock Hold: exposure locks when the AE/AF lock button is pressed and remains locked until the button is pressed again
    • AF-On: the AE/AF button initiates autofocus while the shutter-release button cannot be used to focus

    Exposure Compensation: You can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure from -5.0 to +5.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps while shooting in P, S, A, and M modes.

    White Balance: White balance is used to preserve natural colors under different types of lighting. When the camera is set to one of the exposure modes, you can choose one of the following white balance options: Auto, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Direct Sunlight, Flash, Cloudy, Shade, and Preset Manual.

    Note: In addition to the the basic White Balance options, the camera features Color Temperature settings for specific types of lighting. You can choose from Sodium-vapor lamps, Incandescent/Warm-white fluorescent, White fluorescent, Cool-white fluorescent, Day white fluorescent, Direct Sunlight, Flash, Cloudy, Daylight Fluorescent, Shade, and high temp Mercury-vapor lamps.

    ISO Sensitivity: ISO Sensitivity is the digital equivalent of film speed. When lighting is poor, the camera will automatically increase sensitivity, permitting faster exposures, and minimizing blur caused by inadvertent camera movement, up to a maximum equivalent of ISO 12800. In most shooting modes, you can manually select from ISO settings 100 to 12800, with incremental steps of 1 EV. You can also choose HI 1 (ISO 25600 equivalent) for even higher sensitivity.

    Active D-Lighting: Nikon's Active D-Lighting can correct exposure issues due to difficult lighting conditions instantly and automatically while you shoot. Active D-Lighting preserves details in highlights and shadows, creating photographs with natural contrast.

    Built-in Flash/Optional Speedlights: The camera comes with a convenient built-in pop-up flash, and an accessory shoe for adding an optional Speedlight for more creative flash photography. Nikon Speedlights offer intelligent through-the-lens (i-TTL) flash control and bounce flash capability for a more natural lighting effect without strong shadows. Some Speedlights give you wireless multiple-flash operation through the Nikon Creative Lighting System. The D3300 offers the following flash sync modes depending upon the shooting mode selected:

    • Off: Flash does not fire even when lighting is poor or subject is backlit
    • Auto: When lighting is poor or the subject is back lit, flash pops up automatically when shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
    • Red-eye Reduction: Reduces the red-eye effect sometimes caused by flash
    • Slow Sync: Flash is combined with shutter speeds as slow as 30 seconds to capture both subject and background at night or under dim light.
    • Slow Sync + Red-eye Reduction: combines red-eye reduction with slow sync
    • Rear-curtain Sync: The flash fires just before the shutter closes, creating effect of stream of light following moving subjects.
    • Slow Rear (Rear-curtain + Slow Sync): Like Rear-curtain above, but shutter speed slows automatically to capture background lighting at night or under low light.
    • Fill Flash: Flash will fire whenever a picture is taken.

    Accessory Shoe: The camera's integrates accessory shoe located above the viewfinder allows you to connect optional SB-series Speedlights. The shoe is equipped with a safety lock for flash units with a locking pin, such as the SB-910, SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, SB-400, and SB-300. The camera supports the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS) and can be used with CLS-compatible flash units.

    Histogram: The D3300 features the ability to view a histogram on the LCD monitor screen. A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. Separate histograms of the red, green, and blue channels are also available for viewing.

    Picture Controls: You can choose from the following Picture Control options:

    • Standard: Standard processing for balanced results--recommended for most situations.
    • Neutral: Minimal processing for natural results. Choose for photos that will later be extensively processed or retouched.
    • Vivid: Pictures are enhanced for a vivid photoprint effect. Choose for photographs that emphasize primary colors.
    • Monochrome: takes photos in black and white
    • Portrait: lowers contrast while lending natural texture and rounded feel
    • Landscape: produces vibrant landscapes and cityscapes

    Optional GPS: The optional GP-1 or GP-1A GPS unit (sold separately) can be connected to the camera's accessory terminal to allow information on the camera's current position to be recorded when photographs are taken.

    Optional Wi-Fi: With the optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter (sold separately), you can automatically send images to your smartphone or tablet, or use your smartphone as a remote shutter release. The D3300 supports two-way communication between the camera and other smart devices running the Wireless Mobile Adapter Utility.

    Compatible Lenses: The D3300 is equipped with the standard Nikon F bayonet mount. The camera supports autofocus with AF-S and AF-I CPU lenses only. Autofocus is not supported with other AF lenses. Other compatible lenses include: Type G or D AF NIKKOR, PC-E NIKKOR, PC Micro (85mm f/2.8D), AF-S/AF-I teleconverters, Other AF NIKKOR, and AI-P NIKKOR.

    Lens Features

    18-55mm Lens: This package includes an AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II lens. The lens includes a 52mm snap-on front lens cap (LC-52) and a slip-on rear lens cap.
