Q: QuestionIs there a verison of this same exact camera, but can autofocus automatically rather than manually?

Asked 8 years ago by Newtonikon.

• A:Answer The Nikon D3400 DSLR camera can focus automatically when using using AF-S, AF-P or E-type lenses, as each of these types of lenses has a built-in autofocus motor. Some DSLR camera bodies have a built-in focus motor and can use AF-type lenses in addition to the previously mentioned lens types. There are also cameras that are considered to be all automatic, or point and shoot, that do not use interchangeable lenses. The Nikon D3400 listed here comes with an AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens that will autofocus when you press the camera's shutter-release button down halfway. To learn more about which camera is right for your needs please contact Nikon Support.

Q: QuestionWhat is the shutter lag on this camera? I need to be able to stop movement.

Asked 8 years ago by sime.

• A:Answer The Nikon D3400 DSLR camera has a continuous shooting option that allows you to get up to 5 frames per second. There are also settings and modes that will allow you to freeze motion. Placing the camera in "P" mode and choosing a low f-number will help you to freeze motion. You can also try placing it in "S" Mode which will allow you to choose a faster (low f-number) shutter speed; the camera will then automatically adjust aperture for optimal exposure. There is also an option of "Sports Mode" which chooses all the settings for you and automatically puts it in the continuous shooting setting. To learn more about how to get the most out of your camera please contact Nikon Support.

Q: QuestionWould you say this lens is sufficient enough for scenic/portrait/low-light shots without having to purchase an additional lens? Looking to take this camera on vacation with a lot of hikes and excursions without having to change lenses.

Q: QuestionI am going to Greece in Sept. I have a D3400 Nikon I have 2 kit lens ikon D3400 24.2MP DSLR Camera with AF-P 18-55 VR and 70-300m Lens (1573B) What is the better lens to take I plan on taking only one lens. Or is there a better one. Not too expens

Asked 7 years ago by DISO.

• A:Answer While either of these will help you capture amazing images for you on your trip, using one or the other might limit you to only the range that is available on the one you decide to bring. If you can't take both, why not not look into a lens that will give you both the wide angle range of the Nikon AF-P 18-55mm VR and the long distance advantage of the Nikon AF-P 70-300mm lens? The Nikon - AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR Telephoto Zoom lens (2216) is a versatile, all-in-one lens that offers a full range of zoom at both extremes and is optimized for use with DX-format cameras like the Nikon D3400. This lens is an amazingly compact and lightweight lens, making it perfect for travel, and it's designed to capture subjects of all kinds.
