Camera Overview — Nikon P340

The Nikon COOLPIX P340 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 1/1.7-inch sensor delivering 12MP resolution. It covers an ISO range from 80 to 25600, giving shooters meaningful flexibility across varied lighting conditions. The camera captures stills at a maximum resolution of 4000x3000 pixels and supports a burst mode at up to 10 frames per second, making it capable of handling faster-moving subjects for a camera in this class.

Video recording tops out at 1080p with frame rate options of 30fps, 25fps, 60fps, and 50fps, covering both NTSC and PAL standards. Optical image stabilization is on board to help manage camera shake during handheld shooting. The autofocus system relies on Contrast Detection and Face Detection AF, and also supports subject tracking.

On the back, a 3.0-inch TFT LCD with a resolution of 921,000 dots serves as the primary live view and review display — there is no viewfinder. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, USB, and Mini HDMI output. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards.

The camera is powered by an EN-EL12 battery rated at 220 shots per charge (CIPA). At 194g and measuring 103 x 58 x 32mm, it fits easily in a jacket pocket. Color picture controls include Standard, Vivid, Monochrome, and Neutral.
