Shoot brilliantly, share instantly with Nikon’s all-new D3400 DSLR (17.08.2016)

Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 17^th August 2016: Nikon presents the D3400, the DX-format DSLR that makes it spectacularly easy to shoot high-quality images—and then share them instantly. The D3400 is Nikon’s first entry-level DSLR to boast SnapBridge*¹, making it the perfect camera for those who want to step up from snapshots to photography, and who care about sharing their images on the go.

Nikon’s SnapBridge utilises Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) technology^*2 to let the camera maintain a constant, low-power link with a smartphone or tablet. D3400 users can automatically sync photos as they shoot, from wherever they are. Pick up the smart device that’s paired with the camera and the photos will be there, ready to share: no fuss, no waiting. And these won’t be just any photos. Images are richly detailed thanks to the camera’s large 24.2 MP DX-format sensor, powerful EXPEED 4 processor, and NIKKOR lens. Users can revel in the freedom to achieve dazzling shots in low light, and create portraits with smooth background blur. Beyond photos, Nikon’s renowned D-Movie makes it simple to create cinematic-looking video footage. Even novice moviemakers can easily film with available light and make subjects stand out against beautiful background blur with a fast NIKKOR lens.

Jordi Brinkman, Product Manager, Nikon Europe, says: “The D3400 is an exciting addition to Nikon’s successful D3000 series. It inherits proven top-class technology from Nikon’s higher-end DSLRs and continues to deliver on the ease of use for which this range of entry-level cameras is known. In particular, the always-on connection enabled by SnapBridge means that people can explore ‘real’ photography and still retain the kind of connectivity they’re used to with smartphones.”
