Auto mode disables ISO settings, white-balance, exposure-compensation, flash-compensation, program-shift, metering options and image parameters. Specifically, only 3 flash modes are available and focus modes are limited to AF-A and MF. The Auto mode almost completely automatic. The mode-dial also includes 7 scene modes and an Auto mode.

The available modes include the four ubiquitous exposure modes: program (P), shutter-priority (S), aperture-priority (A) and full manual (M) mode. For people who like to be able to lock focus and exposure independently and to lock both without changing settings, you must set the AE-L/AF-L function to AE-L Only and lock exposure first when desired.Įxposure modes on the Nikon D3200 are controlled by a typical mode-dial. There is a combined AE-L/AF-L button which can be set to lock both exposure and focus, to lock either focus or exposure, to lock and hold exposure or to activate the auto focus Setting this button to trigger auto focus has the unexpected side-effect of disabling AF activation when pressing the shutter-release halfway. There is an option to enable exposure-locking on the half-press. By default, pressing the shutter-release halfway locks focus but not exposure. The shutter-release on this DSLR is a standard 2-stage release with a distinct halfway point. The Nikon D3200's power-switch surrounds the shutter-release and works in the most obvious way. This mode swaps the exposure indicator in the viewfinder with a focus direction indicator. The D3200 includes a Rangefinder indicator to help focus manually. Lenses using a mechanical coupling still work but only in Manual Focus mode. This limits the D3200's choice of lenses to recent Nikon and third-party offerings. This Nikon DSLR features a lens mount with no mechanical coupling for driving non-CPU auto focus lenses. It also has a built-in dust-reduction mechanism which is now standard.
Advanced users should also note the lack of features such as bracketing, depth-of-field preview and critical customization.Īs noted in the introduction, the Nikon D3200 has all basic DSLR capabilities. While this is a feature that professionals can appreciate, the D3200 is not made for changing settings quickly and often.
With Nikon, image stabilization is provided by VR (Vibration Reduction) lenses which is not available on all lenses.īeing one of the smallest DSLRs currently available, the D3200 brings more discretion than is afforded by a typical DSLR camera. Most - if not all - 3rd party manufacturers produce lenses for Nikon mounts too. The Nikon lens lineup covers a wide variety of focal-lengths from the ultra-wide to the super telephoto. No need to emphasize this much since quality videos should be focused manually.įor specific photographic subjects, lens versatility is quite important. It provides standard continuous autofocus as well as single-shot autofocus which can be activated on-demand during video recording. It does so using the same Contrast-Detect AF used in Live-View, just like the D3100 which introduced that feature.
It is one among a few which can autofocus while filming. See Nikon and third-party lenses with built-in super-sonic motors to view compatible models. The Nikon D3200 is fully compatible with Nikon lenses with built-in focus-motors and Nikon Speedlights. It is suitable for most photographic subjects, although it is not ideal for action photography due to its limited speed continuous-drive. The Nikon D3200 is a simple DSLR, yet it is versatile due to its selection of lenses, wide ISO range and full manual controls.
