Be confident of capturing the
moment: continuous shooting at
approx. 4 frames per second
T he m ovement , p ositio n and
expression of your subject can be
unpredictable, and you may never
know exactly when a definitive
moment might happen. For times
like these, the D3200 offers a frame
rate of approx. 4 frames per second,
allowing a burst of images to capture
a decisive moment during sporting
events and when taking pictures of
elusive pets or children at play with
full autofocus performance.
Single-point AF
Still photography with faster
response: the optical viewfinder
D - SLR cameras are noted for
showing exactly what the lens
is seeing. Use of the viewfinder
offers more stability, a clearer view
and more precise composition
for landscape, portrait and still life
photography — advantages that
enable you to better capture images
at the right moment.
Live view for easy operation and
sharp focus
D-SLR shooting is easy with “live
view.” Whether taking stills or
recording movies, there are four
convenient A F - area modes to
choose from: face-priority AF, wide-
area AF, normal-area AF and subject-
tracking AF. The combination of
subject-tracking AF and full-time-
servo AF (AF-F) maintains the focus
point as the action progresses.

Reliable, accurate and responsive
autofocus: 11-point AF system
When taking pictures through the
optical viewfinder, the 11-point AF
system quickly and precisely detects
your subject. To ensure rapid and
accurate autofocusing, choose
auto-area AF and let the Scene
Recognition System keep your
subject sharp automatically. Choose
dynamic-area AF* or 3D-tracking

composition freely while keeping the
subject in sharp focus. If you want a
specific area of your subject to stay
sharp, choose single-point AF.
*When focus mode is continuous-servo AF (AF-C) or
auto AF-S/AF-C selection (AF-A).
