When the light gets low or you
fi
nd yourself
shooting in tricky backlit lighting, use the
built-in pop-up
fl
ash to brighten the scene.
It activates automatically when needed
depending on exposure mode*, or can
be enabled manually. In addition, support
for i-TTL
fl
ash control increases exposure
accuracy.
D3100 is equipped with Nikon’s Integrated Dust Reduction System. This solution
includes a special Air
fl
ow Control System that redirects dust away from the low-pass
fi
lter located in front of the image sensor. Additionally, when powering the camera
on or off, the
fi
lter 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.

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 view
fi
nder thereby aiding
composition and focusing since the image remains
stable.
