Is this a mirrorless camera? null

No, DSLRs like the D3400 are equipped with mirrors and/or prisms that guide light through the lens up into the viewfinder. When you take a photo the mirror is raised and the light hits the camera sensor. When shooting movies or in Live View, the mirror remains in the raised position and the viewfinder cannot be used. By contrast, a mirrorless cameras omits the mirrors or prisms and allows light to pass directly to the sensor. This allows for a more compact and lightweight design. While both COOLPIX cameras and NIKON1 cameras are technically mirrorless - the term “Mirrorless Camera” is usually used to describe mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses like those in the NIKON1 series. For an example of a NIKON mirrorless camera check out the NIKON1 J5 or the waterproof NIKON1 AW1. For additional information please contact Nikon Support.
