Easy and comfortable
A familiar way to shoot: Large LCD monitor
When you want to make the D3300 as easy to
use as a compact camera or smartphone, simply
switch to Live View shooting and use the large
7.5 cm/3.0-in LCD monitor to capture photos and
movies. An intuitive, familiar way to shoot, Live
View makes it easy to confirm every aspect of
the scene you want to capture.
Take it easy: Scene auto selector
To quickly capture perfect shots without any effort
at all, simply set the mode dial to auto or auto (flash
off)*, and shoot with Live View. The camera will
automatically activate scene auto selector and
choose the scene mode that best suits the scene
or subject you’re shooting.
* When using autofocus
Note: For the situations not covered by portrait, landscape, close-up, or
night portrait, auto or auto (flash off) will be selected.
Sharp focus in Live View:
Four AF-area modes
Four AF-area modes help focus on your subject
when shooting photos or movies in Live View.
Face-priority AF detects and tracks faces
within the frame; normal-area AF is ideal for
stationary subjects; and wide-area AF is perfect
for landscapes. Subject-tracking AF focuses
on a moving subject and when combined
with full-time servo AF, it maintains focus on
unpredictable subjects that are moving around
in all kinds of directions.

D-Movie
With the D3300 you don’t just get superb
photos, you can create impressive movies, too.
The camera’s D-Movie function can record
Full HD movie footage at frame rates up to
50p/60p with full-time autofocus, meaning you
get smooth recordings of even fast-moving
action, plus a remarkable level of sharpness and
clarity. The camera’s newly incorporated special
effects mode lets you add a unique touch to
your movies, and the built-in microphone—plus
compatibility with Nikon’s external ME-1 Stereo
Microphone—means you can film movies that
don’t just look good, but that sound great as
well.
