The key to effortless shooting and satisfying results.
Quick, accurate autofocus ready for the decisive moment
•
11-point AF system
D3100's precision high-speed autofocus responds immediately to
changes in scene or composition, maintaining tack-sharp focus
to capture fleeting expressions and fast-moving sports. The all-
important central focus point features a cross-type sensor while the
new superimposed display achieves a clear, uncluttered viewfinder.
Various autofocus modes cover nearly any situation, including auto-
area AF that automatically selects the subject on which to focus, and
3D-tracking* that maintains focus on a subject regardless of changes in
composition as long as the shutter-release button is pressed half way.
* When autofocus is set to AF-A or AF-C.

Active D-Lighting
Shooting in bright sunlight often produces pictures with extreme
contrast between light and dark areas, resulting in loss of tone
and detail. Active D-Lighting
effectively combats this by
preserving important details in
shadows and highlights. The
results are optimally exposed
photos that better reflect the
scene as you saw it.
