Nikon Coolpix P340 12.2 MP Digital Camera - Black

The new Nikon P340 is casual photography at its most refined. It’s surprisingly small in frame compared to the performance it delivers. With 12.2 effective megapixels, an f/1.8 lens and a large ISO sensitivity range, this pocket-sized camera delivers great looking pictures with utmost ease.

Creative control at your fingertips
The Nikon P340 is a joy for anyone to use, because your favourite features are now even more accessible. With the new multifunctional Control Ring, you can personalise your exposure compensation setting, ISO sensitivity, Shutter Speed, Scene Modes, Special Effects and other preferences so there’s less fidgeting around and more time capturing the moments that matter.

Clarity in all conditions
The large 12.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor of the Nikon P340 captures every moment with detail and clarity. Its wide ISO range combined with the bright f/1.8 lens produces superb images in different lighting conditions. With the enhanced lens-shift Vibration Reduction (VR) and motion detection, your shots will be blur-free, even

when handling moving objects.
What makes the Nikon P340 even more versatile is the 5x optical zoom covering the wide angle from 24mm-120mm (35mm format equivalent). The Dynamic Fine Zoom* (approximately 240mm equivalent in 35mm format) also allows you to zoom up to 10x without any visible decline in image quality.

Shoot the subjects you like. Share with the ones you love
With the built-in Wi-Fi®, you can conveniently share your images with your friends. Simply download the Wireless Mobile Utility App (available at the App Store and Google Play) and transfer images to your smart device.

The freedom to express yourself
The Nikon P340 comes with the COOLPIX Picture Control, which gives you the liberty to set your preferences to capture your desired shot. Choose from different settings like Standard Neutral, Vivid and Monochrome to bring your creativity to life. The Multiple Exposure feature lets you overlay three separate images giving your photos an interesting and unique look. With enhanced Filter Effects; choose from Photo Illustration, Portrait with monochrome background, Soft Portrait and other effects to give your pictures a fun twist.

Form, function and a whole lot of fun
Available in white and black, this nifty camera weighs approximately 194g (including batteries, SD memory card) so you can bring it to just about anywhere you wish to. The high-speed USB charging recharges in 1 hour and 50 minutes to allow you to share more pictures, more often.

Ready to Roll
The Nikon P340 captures videos in Full HD format so all your precious memories can be recorded in vivid detail.  The memory will never be a blur either, with the autofocus that activates when necessary.

Bright optical lens and large image sensor in a compact body
The bright NIKKOR f/1.8 lens provides greater light intake for clearly defined images. When shooting scenes even at 24 mm* wide-angle, the 7-blade iris diaphragm enables beautifully de-focused backgrounds or bokeh. High resolution is assured with 12.2 effective megapixels. And, the large 1/1.7-in. Backside illumination CMOS image sensor delivers low-noise images even in dark locations when sensitivity is boosted. Lens-shift VR (Vibration Reduction) provides an effect equivalent to a shutter speed 3.5 stops faster** for less blurry images, and is equipped with ACTIVE mode to minimize camera shake, such as when shooting while walking. COOLPIX Picture Control allows selection of desired settings prior to shooting, according to the subject, shooting conditions, or photographer’s intention.

Control ring for superior operability
Swiftly apply your own personal touch with the Control ring which enables intuitive manual focusing, as well as adjustment of Zoom memory, ISO sensitivity, white balance, shutter speed, aperture, and exposure compensation, with a simple twist. This Control ring also lets you operate Scene modes and Special effects. Together with the Function button, Command dial and Rotary multi selector, it boosts overall operability of the camera.

Even more features for excellent usability
Enjoy a clear view even outdoors with the large 7.5 cm/3-in. RGBW LCD monitor. Pictures you’ve taken can be wirelessly transferred to a smart device with Wi-Fi® connectivity. Likewise, remote control of the camera from the smart device is also possible. A built-in 3-step ND filter, as well as zoom memory, lens position select, and user setting registration improve usability overall, while the supplied AC adapter assures high-speed battery charging.
