Image playback with transitions
When the light gets low or you find yourself
shooting in tricky backlit lighting, use the
built-in pop-up flash to brighten the scene.
It activates automatically when needed
depending on exposure mode*, or can
be enabled manually. In addition, support
for i-TTL flash control increases exposure
accuracy.
D3100 is equipped with Nikon’s Integrated Dust Reduction System. This solution
includes a special Airflow Control System that redirects dust away from the low-pass
filter located in front of the image sensor. Additionally, when powering the camera
on or off, the filter automatically vibrates at precise frequencies to release image-
degrading dust that may adhere to it.
Choose from a series of special transitions when viewing photos. For slideshows, enjoy
interesting effects like Zoom/Fade and Cube. When viewing photos individually, you can employ
Slide in and Zoom/Fade. In addition, the large, bright LCD monitor makes playback a joy.
Less camera-shake blur in images and viewfinder

Nikon’s original VR system
NIKKOR VR lenses reduce* blur in photos and full
HD movies caused by camera-shake that often
occurs when shooting at slow shutter speeds, such
as in dimly lit environments or when using micro or
telephoto lenses. Unlike in-camera image stabilization
systems, Nikon’s VR is in the lens, which allows
it to correct blur in the viewfinder thereby aiding
composition and focusing since the image remains
stable.
