Eye-Fi support - Transfer photos and movies wirelessly
Support for optional Eye-Fi SD cards lets you transfer photos and movies from the camera to a PC via wireless LAN. This eliminates the need for removing the memory card or USB connections to transfer data.
Note:
See the manual provided with the Eye-Fi card, and direct any inquiries to the manufacturer. The camera can be used to turn Eye-Fi cards on and off, but may not support other Eye-Fi functions.

New shutter mechanism - Quiet shooting, even with Live View
D3100 employs a newly developed shutter that is ideal for both Live View and movie shooting. The lightweight and compact design coupled with the ability to operate while the mirror is up during Live View shooting contributes to quiet, energy-efficient performance. It is also highly durable, having been tested to 100,000 cycles.
Nikon Integrated Dust Reduction System - Prevent dust from ruining photos
- D3100 is equipped with Nikon's Integrated Dust Reduction System. This solution includes a special Airflow Control System that redirects dust away from the low-pass filter located in front of the image sensor. Additionally, when powering the camera on or off, the filter automatically vibrates at precise frequencies to release image-degrading dust that may adhere to it.
Image playback with transitions [NEW] - View photos with striking special effects
Choose from a series of special transitions when viewing photos. For slideshows, enjoy interesting effects like Zoom/fade and Cube. When viewing photos individually, you can employ Slide in and Zoom/fade. In addition, the large, bright LCD monitor makes playback a joy.

Convenient playback - Find images instantly by date
- The D3100's playback options make it easy to select pictures for viewing or retouching. You can view pictures one at a time or in groups of 4, 9, or 72. A Calendar view is also available, which organizes photos by shooting date and time then displays them in a handsome calendar format.
