Get serious with the brilliant COOLPIX P310.
The bright f/1.8 lens delivers pin-sharp images, and the highly sensitive backlit CMOS sensor provides superb results in any light. Nikon’s second-generation lens-shift vibration reduction enables clear results and steady images on the large VGA LCD screen.
You can give full expression to your creative side with manual mode and access your favorite setting instantly via the function button. When you want to shoot movies, Full HD (1080p) is only a touch away thanks to the dedicated movie-record button.
The COOLPIX P310 — An astonishing performer.
Bright NIKKOR 4.2x optical zoom lens with fast f/1.8 aperture (24–100mm), and ultra wide-angle coverage. Offers outstanding precision, sharp resolution and high contrast.
Back-illuminated 16-MP CMOS sensor: with each pixel receiving more light, this highly sensitive image sensor works with the EXPEED processor to deliver clear shots in any light.
Advanced lens-shift Vibration Reduction VR: Nikon’s second-generation vibration reduction system reduces the effect of camera shake in real time and lets you use shutter speeds that are up to four stops slower.
Full HD (1080p) movie recording with stereo sound: a dedicated video-record button makes it easy to begin filming.
7.6 cm (3.0-in.) 921k-dot LCD screen: whether you shoot in bright sunlight or in low light, the large LCD screen with anti-reflective coating offers sharp contrast and clear viewing.
Advanced movie features: you can use the optical zoom with autofocus when recording, and film in slow or fast motion using speeds of up to 120 fps. A built-in HDMI connector lets you connect the camera directly to an HDTV.
Customizable function button (Fn): bypass the menu and set a shortcut to your favorite camera setting.
Auto HDR mode: capture images with impressive tonal detail in any situation when you shoot in HDR mode. The camera combines two shots taken at different exposures during a single shutter release to create an image with wide dynamic range and rich color gradation.
Easy Panorama 360°/180°: pan vertically or horizontally to create dynamic panoramas.
3D shooting mode: create a 3D image of any still subject to be played back on 3D-capable TVs and computers. The camera combines two images taken from different positions; the second shot is taken automatically when the camera detects that you are in the right position.
Mode dial with manual exposure modes (P/S/A/M) and User mode, where you can recall your preferred camera settings instantly.
High-speed continuous shooting: shoot up to five full-resolution shots at 6 fps, or up to 30 full-resolution shots at 1 fps.
Fast and accurate AF: when you want to capture complex subjects, you can shoot in manual focus with a 99-point autofocus system for extra-sharp results.
Subject Tracking AF: capture sharp shots of subjects that can’t or won’t stay still. Subject Tracking AF keeps the camera focused on a selected subject even if it is moving around.
Wireless transfer: compatible with Eye-Fi X2 (or later) cards. Transmit your digital photos (in JPEG format) directly to your phone or personal computer, and then connect to the Internet to take advantage of Nikon’s photo sharing service, my Picturetown.
Retouch menu: enhance your photos in-camera with a range of filter effects. Includes options such as Selective Color, which converts your image to monochrome then adds a splash of color to an area of your choice, and Cross Screen, which lends a starry effect to bright objects.
EXPEED C2: Nikon’s fast and powerful image processing system provides high-speed operation, enhanced movie recording, high-sensitivity performance and maximum image quality.
*When the aperture value is set to f/1.8 (largest aperture), the fastest shutter speed is 1/1600 second. When the aperture value is set to f/8 and the zoom is at the maximum wide-angle position or moved one increment to the telephoto position, the fastest shutter speed is 1/1600 second (except during S and M modes). **Based on CIPA Standards for measuring life of batteries. ***When recording a single movie. | |
