Take a 3D Tour The D5000 produces highly detailed images with smooth tonal
gradation, outstanding colour reproduction, and low noise across a wide ISO
sensitivity range. Nikon’s exclusive EXPEED?„? contributes to
streamlined handling of advanced imaging features such as Nikon’s
original Scene Recognition System with Face Detection and Active
D-Lighting. Easy one-button Live View activation now features Subject
Tracking autofocus (AF), which automatically locks onto a moving subject -
even if the subject leaves the frame and returns. Subject Tracking AF also
maintains focus, making the D5000 ideal for capturing children and moving
pets. Nikon D5000 Wins? Gold? DIWA Award ? Nikon’s exclusive 3D
Colour Matrix Metering II, in conjunction with EXPEED?„? enables the
D5000 to capture brilliant images by instantly evaluating the exposure
elements of each scene and comparing it to an onboard database of
information from more than 30,000 images. These split-second calculations
ensure the right exposure - even if conditions are extreme. Centre-weighted
and Spot Metering offer added personal control for extended creativity.
Ease-of-use is a hallmark of Nikon digital SLRs and the D5000 proves this
in both form and function. The compact body features an intelligent layout
with controls logically positioned for easy operation. With 19 automatic
Scene Modes such as Sports, Portrait, Candlelight, Silhouette and more,
point-and-shoot convenience and ease is added for beautiful results in a
wide variety of challenging shooting situations. Scene Modes even include
sample images for each mode to make selection simple and quick. The D5000
also incorporates a comprehensive set of in-camera editing features to make
the most of captured images without the need of a computer. New Retouch
features include Soft Filter effect, Perspective Control and Colour
Outline. With Nikon’s exclusive Picture Control Settings,
photographers can quickly select various image appearance profiles, which
include Standard, Neutral, Vivid, Monochrome, Portrait and Landscape
settings. With Picture Control you can create and store up to nine
user-defined custom profiles to reflect each user’s personal
preferences for hue, colour saturation and image sharpening. Extensive
playback options allow users to review their photos in groups of four,
nine, or 72 thumbnail images. Alternatively, you can select the Calendar
View to easily group and select images by date. These playback features can
be viewed either on the Vari-angle LCD or an HDTV with HDMI connectivity,
available via a dedicated HDMI port on the camera. The D5000’s
D-Movie Mode lets you record HD movie clips (1280 x 720) at a cinematic 24
frames-per-second with sound. Compatibility with a comprehensive assortment
of AF-S NIKKOR interchangeable lenses provides photographers with the
ability to capture perspectives not possible with typical consumer video
recording devices. When using any NIKKOR vibration reduction (VR) lens,
D-Movie clips benefit from Nikon VR image stabilization, which
automatically activates during recording to deliver added sharpness and
image stability. VR image stabilization also extends the D5000’s
performance in low-light conditions. Combining famous Nikon quality,
advanced performance and functionality, the D5000 opens the door to a level
of creative expression never before possible in a camera so easy-to-use.
On-demand grid lines both when shooting via the optical viewfinder and in
Live View mode.
Extensive playback options that allow viewing of images one at a time or in
