Shooting Modes

(full-size images up to 1.5 frames
per second for as long as the shutter is

thumbnails displayed in a single frame)
◆ Multiple Movie Modes let the Coolpix
3100 record a 40- second movie clip at
320 x 240, 15 fps (frames per second)
and a 20-second TV movie (640 x 480) at
15fps. The 2100 can shoot 15 seconds
and 7 seconds, respectively. Movies can
be shot in color, black and white and
sepia tone (at 5 frames per second),
opening the door for new creative ideas.
◆ Best Shot Selector (BSS) mode takes up
to 10 shots automatically and records
the the “sharpest” (most detailed)
image while discarding the others.
◆ 14 Scene modes make capturing a great
exposure of that perfect moment as
easy as "point and shoot." Allows even
the most novice photographer to take
great pictures in almost any situation:
Party/Indoor – Captures the details of
dimly lit scenes. The Speedlight fires auto-
matically in extremely low-light situations
Beach/Snow –Vividly captures the bright-
ness of subjects such as snowy fields,
beaches, or sunlit expanses of water
Dawn/Dusk – Capture the natural light
beauty or dim or hazy situations, like
before sunrise or after sunset

trolled, enabling you to preserve the
exquisite natural beauty of a sunset

scene using only ambient light

Short shutter release time lag, slow shut-
ter speed, focus set at infinity, lets you
capture fireworks in their original beauty
Close-Up – With precise manual focus area
selection and appropriate coloration, this
mode makes detailed subjects stand out
Copy – Ideal for shooting characters print-
ed on a white board or pages from a book
Back Light – Speedlight fires automatically
to illuminate shadows that cover a subject
Museum – Disables flash for indoor shoot-
ing in venues that don’t allow flash
Conveniences
4 Scene Assist Modes
Nikon’s new Scene Assist takes 4 of the most popular
Scene Modes
(Portrait, Night Portrait, Landscape,
Sports)
to another dimension using transparent
technology to guide the photographer toward the
ideal composition, focus area and exposure for each
and every shot. Scene Assist acts as a photography
expert built right into the camera and ready upon
command. For example, when taking an off-center
portrait using the Scene Assist mode, a graphical overlay visible on the LCD helps the
photographer compose the shot, and then adjusts focus and exposure automatically—
solving the most common photography problems, such as out-of-focus subjects, which are
frustrating for most novice photographers.
How about a camera so advanced, it offers
assistance when taking pictures like off-center
portraits or scenic landscapes? Imagine a
camera where a frame line appears on the
LCD to guide you to correct composition. No
more cut off heads or out-of-focus subjects.
Yellow guide lines help line up subjects/objects
any way you want, from justifying left/right to
centering them perfectly.
