Lenses that take full advantage of a
high pixel count: NIKKOR lenses
Image quality largely depends on the
lens you’re using. Employing years of
experience, Nikon’s entire NIKKOR lens
series, including the kit lenses, delivers
sharp rendering and fully brings out the
power of the D3300’s high-pixel-count
image sensor.
The difference is in the details: 24.2
effective megapixels with DX-format
image sensor
The image sensor is the heart of your
camera. The D3300 provides 24.2
effective megapixels, the same as the
D5300. Designed without an optical
low-pass filter, the sensor captures
fabulous high-definition images rendered
by high-performance lenses.
Extremely low noise and true-to-life
color: New EXPEED 4 image-processing
engine
The new EXPEED 4 image-processing
engine really excels in color reproduction,
as well as noise reduction at high ISO
sensitivities. Photos are beautifully
rendered, with rich color gradation and
minimized noise, in both still images
and movies. It also lets you easily create
smooth Full HD videos at 60p.
Helping you to achieve the desired
image: Picture Control
Picture Control is Nikon’s image creation
system. Thanks to the new EXPEED 4
image-processing engine, the D3300’s
Picture Control renders your subjects
even clearer and with more depth. Before
shooting, select one of six preset options
to match your subjects and situations. You
can also adjust the image characteristics
of each option based on your own creative
ideas.
The secret behind beautiful images
Remarkably beautiful
Amazing performance in low light with minimum noise:
ISO sensitivity range 100-12800
Have you ever found your images blurring when taking pictures
of dark scenes? The D3300 has a wide light sensitivity of ISO
100 to 12800, and setting it high enables you to shoot at faster
shutter speeds, thus reducing the effect of camera shake. This
can sometimes cause a grainy texture in the picture, but with
the new EXPEED 4 image-processing engine’s excellent
noise-reduction performance, this is minimized. With the D3300
you can enjoy shooting striking night landscapes, even without
a tripod.

Beautifully balancing light and shade: Active D-Lighting
In pictures of children playing in the sunlight or in a room with a
bright window, details and color gradation in bright sky or dark
areas may sometimes be lost. But thanks to the new EXPEED 4
image-processing engine, the D3300’s Active D-Lighting
preserves more tones in both areas, capturing moments in true-
to-life brightness!
