Casual shots never looked so good. Beautiful photos were never so easy.

Imagine all the high-tech wizardry of advanced digital SLR picture taking in an easy-to-use camera. Now imagine the Nikon D3000, a camera that combines Nikon technology with simplicity never before found in a camera so advanced. The Nikon D3000features a new Guide mode, intuitive in-camera assistance that allows even first-time users to transform everyday moments into stunning pictures.

Not sure of what to do? Let the D3000 be your guide.

For shots you can’t afford to miss but aren’t sure how to take, simply set the Mode dial to GUIDE, then let the Nikon D3000 assist you in adjusting camera settings. Guide mode helps you capture the moment to obtain the kinds of pictures you expect from a quality digital SLR camera.

 
Create pictures of breathtaking beauty by getting close to the subject. This mode optimizes camera settings to soften the foreground and background in order to draw attention to the subject, making it ideal for close-ups of flowers, jewelry, and other highly detailed objects.

Record the majesty of a dynamic city or natural beauty of a breathtaking vista. This setting enhances the vibrancy and liveliness of the scene while disabling flash, allowing the Nikon D3000 intelligent metering to set exposure and capture the scene as you see it. Even when shooting at dusk or under a cloudy sky, you are assured of beautiful pictures containing well-saturated color.

Want to elevate your photo skills? Let the D3000 assist.

The Nikon D3000 intelligent Guide mode helps you take your photography to new heights, revealing techniques you thought were the exclusive realm of professional photographers but which you can now call your own. Artistry like blurring backgrounds or freezing fast-moving action is easily accomplished with the Nikon D3000.

Obtain beautiful portraits without distracting backgrounds. This setting keeps the subject in sharp focus while softly blurring the background, resulting in portraits with a studio-like feel.

Capture moments that can slip away in the blink of an eye. This setting places priority on maintaining shutter speeds faster than 1/1000 second in order to freeze action such as fast-moving cars and other vehicles. The results are exciting photos that display all the dynamic action of the original scene.

The savvy new D3000. The camera that shows you how.

How to preserve precious memories. How to improve your pictures. And how to do it all, easily. The new Guide mode demystifies the often complex world of digital SLR photography.
