INTRODUCING THE NEW NIKON DIGITAL SLR CAMERA D3400: DSLR PHOTOGRAPHY WITH SNAPBRIDGE FOR CONNECTED CONTENT CREATORS |
|
TOKYO – 17th
August 2016 - Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the release of the
D3400, an all-new entry-level DX-format digital SLR with easy connectivity to
smart devices.
 From
outfit-of-the-day portraits to edgy street photography or one-of-a-kind
culinary experiences – the new Nikon D3400
easily captures these visual contents for instant sharing to social media.
As a digital SLR
designed for aspiring photographers and users accustomed to shooting with their
smart devices, the D3400 is the first entry-level digital SLR enabled with
SnapBridge connectivity. With the D3400's built-in Bluetooth® low energy
technology, it is easy to connect the camera and a smart device via the
SnapBridge app.  All photos taken with the camera are automatically transferred
to a smart device with simple, one-time setup. This eliminates the need to
manually reconnect the camera to a smart device for each image transfer. The
connection can be maintained even when the camera is turned off. Sharing images
taken from your digital SLR onto social media has never been easier.
The D3400 is an
entry-level model offering a number of enhancements over its predecessor, the
D3300. The camera's ISO sensitivity has been expanded to ISO 100 - 25600 for
capturing vibrant and clear pictures in low-light environments with less camera
shake. Improved battery performance supports capture of approximately 1,200
shots with a fully charged battery. Equipped with Guide Mode, which provides
step-by-step instructions, taking pictures and recording movies are easy, even
for first-time users of a digital SLR camera. And, at  approximately 395g, the
lighter camera body is especially handy for users constantly on the move.
The D3400 combines
the superior power of NIKKOR lenses with an effective pixel count of
24.2-million pixels and the DX-format CMOS sensor with no optical low-pass
filter, enhancing the users' experience of capturing and sharing quality images
possible only with a digital SLR camera.

NIKON ANNOUNCE AF-P LENSES WITH FAST AND QUIET AUTOFOCUSING THROUGH THE ADOPTION OF A STEPPING MOTOR
|
|
TOKYO – 17th August 2016 - Nikon Corporation is pleased to
announce the release of the AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR and AF-P
DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED, two telephoto zoom lenses compatible with
Nikon DX-format digital SLR cameras.
 The AF-P DX NIKKOR
70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR and AF-P DX NIKKOR
70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED are 4.3x telephoto zoom lenses covering
the 70-300mm range of focal lengths (effective angles of view equivalent to
those of a lens with 105-450mm focal lengths in FX and 35mm [135] formats) and
maximum apertures of f/4.5-6.3.
These AF-P lenses, for which a stepping motor has been adopted to drive
autofocus, ensure fast and quiet AF. The benefits of smooth and quiet AF are
also demonstrated  with movie recording. These lenses were also designed to be
compact and lightweight, making them extremely portable, despite the fact that
they are telephoto zoom lenses.
An ED lens element has been adopted for suppression of all types of
aberration to achieve excellent optical performance. What's more, the AF-P DX
NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR is equipped with a Vibration Reduction (VR)
function that offers image-stabilization compensation equivalent to a 4.0-stop*2
increase in shutter speed (measured in accordance with CIPA standards).
 These easy-to-use telephoto zoom lenses, which offer both superior AF
performance and excellent portability, are the perfect lenses for those looking
to expand photographic possibilities and their own skills with a digital SLR
camera.

|
August 2016 - Manfrotto, world
leader in the photography, imaging equipment and accessories industry, presents
four new camcorder cases in the Pro Light Collection
 These new carrying
solutions reflect the latest professional video camera trends. The taller and
modular designs of equipment require a new approach to bag size and shape. This new Manfrotto bag range fits all the
most popular camcorder models on the market. Each bag is comfortable to carry
and built to satisfy the needs of demanding professional videographers who are
looking for a fully customizable solution that ensures their equipment’s
protection from damage and weather.
 Extremely protective - The new Pro Light
bags are made of high-quality rip stop nylon fabric with durable water
repellent treatment and shock absorbing feet. Their protective external shell
makes them extremely resistant and reliable for shooting outdoors in difficult
weather conditions. The special shaped
foam contained in the internal Manfrotto Camera Protection System (CPS)
safeguards the equipment stored inside the bag. It closely surrounds the
camera, lenses and accessories, providing softer cushioning that also functions
as strong storage protection. The aluminium frame,, installed near the opening,
reinforces protection to the top of the camera.
Flexible and
expandable - The Manfrotto
Flexi divider enables users to make the most of the space available inside the
bag and create multiple configurations according to the specific camera and
accessories they want it to transport. There is also a
hidden back pocket providing extra space for additional accessories.
Ease of access - The new bags
feature three handles in different positions to ensure that grabbing the bag
and carrying it is always easy and comfortable. The dual-zipper opening ensures
fast and effortless access to the gear inside and the extra wide top opening
makes it easy to get the camera out or put it away. These four new Pro Light
video bags are the solution of choice for videographers looking for comfort and
protection in equal proportions.
 Prices range from
€140
