24.2 MEGAPIXELS ENSURE BEAUTIFUL TRIMMED IMAGES: The D3300 packs a punch with a powerful image sensor featuring 24.2 effective megapixels, the same as that used by the D5300.

KIT LENS THAT ALSO MAXIMIZES THE 24.2-MEGAPIXEL RESOLUTION: AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55MM F/3.5-5.6G VR II: Generally, the further off-center subjects are placed, the more sharpness of a lens deteriorates. Despite being a kit lens, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II provides superb optical performance, taking full advantage of the camera’s 24.2-megapixel capability, and achieves sharp depiction even in peripheral areas.

The D3300 has a wide light sensitivity of ISO 100 to 12800, and setting it high enables you to shoot at faster shutter speeds, thus reducing the effect of camera shake

The D3300 incorporates six types of preset Picture Control — standard, neutral, vivid, monochrome, portrait and landscape — which you can select according to your subjects and situations before shooting. Each Picture Control option lets you fine-tune image characteristics, such as sharpening, contrast, etc., depending on your own creative intentions. Picture Control can also be set using the guide mode.
