P340 Primary Features

  1. Nikon optical technologies for superior rendering performance

A fast NIKKOR lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.8, an effective pixel count of 12.2-million pixels, and a large, 1/1.7-in. backside illumination CMOS sensor
The P340 is equipped with a NIKKOR lens that represents the accumulation of Nikon optical technologies and offers a fast maximum aperture of f/1.8. The camera is also equipped with a large, 1/1.7-inch backside illumination CMOS sensor, and is able to more effectively acquire light with an effective pixel count of 12.2-million pixels. The combination of fast lens and large CMOS sensor achieves superior resolution with excellent texture, definition, and a more three-dimensional feel.

5x optical zoom covering the wide-angle 24mm to telephoto 120mm angles of view
The P340 is equipped with a 5x optical zoom NIKKOR lens that covers a broad range of angles of view, from the wide-angle 24mm to the telephoto 120mm (equivalent focal lengths in 35mm [135] format). The lens also offers powerful support for macro photography with shooting as close as 2 cm to the lens. A seven-blade iris diaphragm makes capturing photos in which backgrounds are beautifully blurred possible. In addition, it is equipped with Dynamic Fine Zoom, which enables 10x* zoom with which resolution is preserved in the digital zoom range.

    • *At the maximum image size.

Compact body with adoption of high refractive index lens and aspherical lens elements
Adoption of high refractive index lens element(s) and aspherical lens elements enables a slimmer lens barrel for a more compact camera body. This high level of performance makes for consistently sharp rendering from the center of the frame to frame edges.

Built-in ND filter that supports shooting in bright surroundings
When the built-in neutral density (ND) filter is enabled, the amount of light that passes through the lens can be reduced to a degree equivalent to a three-stop reduction in shutter speed. This allows users to emphasize subject movement with slower shutter speeds, even in bright places or situations.

  1. Advanced operation with adoption of a multi-functional control ring

Users can easily assign a function to the control ring adopted around the lens barrel and use the control ring to adjust that function’s setting (in P, S, A, M, U and Auto shooting modes only). It can also be used to fine-tune effects applied in scene modes and Special Effects mode. The P340 also offers a command dial and rotary multi selector that can be used for independent control over primary shooting settings such as ISO sensitivity, shutter speed, and aperture setting. The Fn (function) button, to which a frequently used function can be assigned, and movie-record button, which enables movie recording at the touch of a button, also help to make P340 operation smoother and more natural.

  1. A high-performance lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) function with Active mode for advanced compensation for camera shake

Photos captured with high-power zoom applied are often blurred by camera shake. The P340, however, is equipped with a high-performance lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) function that offers camera shake compensation equivalent to a shutter speed 3.5-stops* faster, enabling worry-free shooting even with super-telephoto photography. In addition, Active mode effectively reduces the effects of greater camera shake and makes framing images easier for sharp, clear still images and movies, whether photographing landscapes from a moving vehicle or recording movies while walking.

    • *Measured at the maximum telephoto position.
  1. A variety of shooting functions that support imaging as intended

M Exposure Preview
As the view through the lens displayed in the monitor simulates exposure at current settings, users can preview resulting images with greater accuracy.

AF Area Mode
The size of the focus area can be selected from Normal, Wide, and Spot. The ability to specify the size of the focus area makes for more flexible fine-tuning of focus in accordance with the size and position of the intended subject.

The cameras also offer four exposure modes—P, A, S, and M—that make mastering manual camera operations more fun, as well as COOLPIX Picture Control, which enables adjustment of imaging characteristics such as vividness and sharpening prior to shooting in accordance with the subject, shooting conditions, or photographic intent, Special Effects mode, which allows users to enjoy applying effects, such as those concerning color and contrast, to still images and movies before they are recorded, and Filter Effects that can be applied to still images already recorded.

  1. Built-in Wi-Fi® that makes connecting with others enjoyable with simple connection to smart devices

The built-in Wi-Fi® function can be used to transfer photos* to a smart device over a wireless connection as soon as they are taken. Photos taken with this digital camera can be easily shared with family and friends, or uploaded to blogs or social networking service (SNS) sites. In addition, the display on a smartphone, tablet, or other smart device can be used to frame images and control shooting remotely. This is very convenient when taking group photos and the like in which the user is included. With remote shooting, the self-timer, zoom, and shooting information are also displayed on the smart device screen.

    • * The Wireless Mobile Utility app must first be installed on the smart device (the app can be downloaded free of charge from the smart device’s app store), and Wi-Fi® connection settings must be applied before image transfer is possible.
  1. Function for recording 1920×1080/50i/60i movies

High-quality and smooth 50i/60i movies with stereo sound can easily be recorded by simply pressing the camera’s movie-record button. What’s more, the P340 offers a movie pause function, with which recording of a single movie file can be paused and then restarted (within 5 minutes), as well as the ability to save movie frames as still images while movies are being recorded. As movie frames can also be saved as still images and unwanted portions of movies can be eliminated with movie playback, users can save only the desired portion of movies for recording and editing of movies as intended.

  1. Faster AF for quick and nimble response

Autofocusing is initiated faster than with previous cameras, and has also been optimized for faster focusing and a shorter shooting time lag. Smooth focusing ensures stress-free shooting with certain capture of photo opportunities.

Other P340 Features

  • A 3-inch, approximately 921k-dot TFT LCD monitor for which the bright, power-saving RGBW system has been adopted
  • Target Finding AF, with which the user need simply point the camera at the intended subject and the camera automatically predicts, and focuses on, the intended subject
  • Scene Auto Selector mode, with which the camera automatically identifies shooting conditions and applies the optimum scene mode
  • A Zoom Memory function that enables simple switching in steps between preset focal lengths with zooming
  • A Startup Zoom Position setting that automatically shifts zoom to a preset focal length when the camera is turned on
  • Active D-Lighting, which prevents loss of detail in highlights and shadows for images exhibiting brightness similar to that seen with the naked eye when shooting scenes with extremes in both light and dark
  • High-speed battery charging (when the EH-71P/EH-71PCH and USB Cable UC-E21 are used)
