The Nikon Coolpix 3200 digital camera was designed to be easy use. It offers lots of automatic settings that make taking digital photos as easy as select, point, click, and view. This camera is ideal for casual photographers making their first transition to the world of digital photography.
Optics and Resolution
Featuring a 3.2-megapixel CCD sensor, the Nikon Coolpix 3200 digital camera delivers images up to 2,048 by 1,536 pixels, which is sharp enough for photo-quality prints up to 11 by 14 inches. The 3x Optical Zoom-Nikkor lens will help get those far away shots properly framed, while the camera's macro mode allows photographers to close in on details just 1.6 inches away from the lens. The camera also features 15 scene modes, which are designed to automatically optimize the camera settings to make the most of typical photo-shooting environments. These scene modes are: Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Night Portrait, Party, Beach/Snow, Sunset, Fireworks Show, Night Landscape, Close up, Museum, Dusk/Dawn, Copy, Back light, and Panorama assist. And the four-part Scene Assist feature guides you to better pictures in Portrait, Landscape, Sports and Night Portrait modes.
Movie Mode
Shoot small amounts of Quicktime video with sound at resolutions up to 640 x 480 pixels at 15 frames-per-second. The movies aren't camcorder quality, but they're fun and convenient, and they're perfect as e-mail attachments.
More Features
- Included Nikon View 6 software lets you remove the "red eye" problem common to flash photography with just the click of a button once you transfer your photos to your computer.
- One-touch upload: Once your software is installed on your computer, uploading photos is done by connecting the USB cable between your camera and computer and pressing the upload button on your camera.
- Optional date and time imprinting
- In-camera cropping lets you select an area inside your photo and save it in your camera as a separate file.
- Best Shot Selector helps sharpen photos taken without the use of a tripod in those tricky telephoto or macro photo opportunities that often make images blurry.
Storage and Transfer
Images and video are stored on either 14.5 MB internal memory or optional Secure Digital (SD) cards (not included). Files can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB connectivity, which means it can be connected to any USB-based Windows 98/Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.
Printing
The camera's 3.2 megapixel resolution is high enough to print photo-quality enlargements up to 11 x 14. The camera is PictBridge compatible, which is a standard that allows cameras to connect directly to some printers (learn more about Pictbridge).
