Nikon Digital SLR Camera D3200 Specifications
Printed in Holland Code No. 6CE12050 (1204/A)K

Available in t wo colors: black and re d
Experience the incredibly high
image quality that you’ve been
dreaming of. Combining 24.2
effective megapixel definition with
Nikon’s all-new DX-format imaging sensor and the
superior optical performance of NIKKOR lenses,
the new Nikon D3200 brings you exceptional
pictures with smooth color gradation and Full
HD movies. Easy to hold and simple to use, this
exciting, perfectly balanced combination of lens
and camera is designed specifically to make the joy
of high-quality D-SLR photography available to all.
High resolution with
24.2 effective megapixels, and
a high-quality lens to match

At the heart of the D3200 is
a newly developed Nikon
DX-format CMOS image
sensor utilizing 24.2
effective megapixels for pictures with
incredible detail, as well as the freedom to
enlarge your images or crop them to your
preference. The camera’s image sensor
has a wide light sensitivity range, going
as high as ISO 6400* and permitting the
capture of excellent images even when the
light is low. The driving force behind these
advancements is the high-speed,
high-performance EXPEED 3
image-processing engine —
the same as that used by the
Nikon D4 flagship camera — transforming
digital data into superior quality images
with smooth color and spectacular detail.
Other Nikon advantages include a 420-pixel
RGB sensor that provides input for Nikon’s
exclusive Scene Recognition System. When
taking pictures, each scene is analyzed and
the focus, exposure, and white balance are
automatically adjusted to ensure optimum
results. Last but not least, superior image
quality requires superior optics: the Nikon
D3200 works with an extensive range of
NIKKOR lenses, the same lenses used by
experienced photographers around the world
to get the most out of their Nikon D-SLR
cameras. Add up all of the advantages and
you can see why the Nikon D3200 is an
excellent choice for experiencing D-SLR
photography.
* ISO range can be raised as high as Hi 1 (ISO 12800 equivalent), giving
you more options in extremely low-light conditions.

Step-by-step instructions for incredible images: Guide Mode
Are you new to D-SLR photography? The D3200 makes
it easy to take the pictures that you’ve always wanted.
Step by step, Nikon’s Guide Mode walks you through
the process of set-up, shooting, viewing and deleting.
Simply select Easy operation for help with taking
pictures of the most common situations and subjects,
such as Close-ups or Portraits. Choose A d vanc e d
operation for more creative options, such as Soften
backgrounds or Freeze motion. The helpful Assist
images provide visual reference examples in order to
illustrate the expected results, and help you to better
understand how to achieve the type of images you want.
Select this mode and the camera
automatically optimizes your settings
appropriately for shooting close-ups
of flowers and other small objects.

sunset shots. The white balance is
adjusted to emphasize the warm
tones of the setting sun.
If the subject is moving, the camera
suggests which faster shutter speed
is best to avoid motion blur.

Guide Mode provides step-by-step assistance with taking pictures

Be confident of capturing the
moment: continuous shooting at
approx. 4 frames per second
The movement, position and
expression of your subject can be
unpredictable, and you may never
know exactly when a definitive
moment might happen. For times
like these, the D3200 offers a frame
rate of approx. 4 frames per second,
allowing a burst of images to capture
a decisive moment during sporting
events and when taking pictures of
elusive pets or children at play with
full autofocus performance.
Single-point AF
Still photography with faster
response: the optical viewfinder
D-SLR cameras are noted for
showing exactly what the lens
is seeing. Use of the viewfinder
offers more stability, a clearer view
and more precise composition
for landscape, portrait and still life
photography — advantages that
enable you to better capture images
at the right moment.
Live view for easy operation and
sharp focus
D-SLR shooting is easy with “live
view.” Whether taking stills or
recording movies, there are four
convenient AF-area modes to
choose from: face-priority AF, wide-
area AF, normal-area AF and subject-
tracking AF. The combination of
subject-tracking AF and full-time-
servo AF (AF-F) maintains the focus
point as the action progresses.

accurate autofocusing, choose
auto-area AF and let the Scene
Recognition System keep your
subject sharp automatically. Choose
dynamic-area AF* or 3D-tracking
(11 points)* to capture fast-
moving subjects or to change your
composition freely while keeping the
subject in sharp focus. If you want a
specific area of your subject to stay
sharp, choose single-point AF.

Incredible images and movies start with incredible NIKKOR lenses
Incredible movie recording at your fingertips: Full HD
movies (1,920 x 1,080/30p)
The D3200 is not limited to taking outstanding
still pictures. It also delivers outstanding D-Movie
performance with Full HD movie capability. Together with
D-SLR advantages such as beautiful bokeh (background
blur), great low-light performance and
extensive compatibility with the NIKKOR
lens range, making your own movies has
just become easier and more creative
than ever before. The features of “live view” autofocus
like full-time-servo AF (AF-F) and subject-tracking AF
are completely compatible when recording D-Movies,
so your subject will stay in sharp focus, even when in
motion. Face-priority AF is also available during D -Movie,
which means you can stop worrying about focusing
on faces and enjoy movie recording. The
D3200 also records sound and comes
equipped with in-camera editing functions,

VR (Vibration Reduction) technology to minimize
the effects of camera shake
NIKKOR lenses incorporate the VR
function within the lens rather than within
the camera body. This ensures that blur caused by
camera shake is corrected in the optical path before
it reaches the sensor, leading to clearer images
and faster response. Furthermore, the image in the
viewfinder is stabilized, allowing easier and more
accurate composition.
