The joy of simplicity.
Shooting great photos and full HD movies was never so easy.
New AF modes capture moving subjects
•
Live View with new AF modes and
large 3-in. monitor
Live View gives you an intuitive, familiar way to photograph
playful pets or children on the move. Just flip a switch and
you're ready to go. When Live View is activated and new Full-
time-servo AF (AF-F) is selected, the camera keeps subjects
in focus without having to press the shutter-release button —
convenient for photos and movies. There is also new Face-
priority AF that locks focus on faces, even on people not
directly facing the camera. Live View makes D3100 as easy to
use as a compact camera.

Letting D3100 decide the best mode to match the scene

Scene Auto Selector
D3100 automatically selects the Scene Mode that matches the
shooting situation and subject. During Live View shooting with
the Mode dial on Auto or Auto (flash off), Scene Auto Selector*
automatically activates Portrait, Landscape, Close up or Night portrait
modes depending on the scene. For added convenience, an icon
appears in the top-left corner of the LCD monitor that shows the
selected mode.
