High-angle and low-angle shooting

High-angle shooting is when you hold the camera high,

and is especially useful for shooting over obstacles such

as a crowd or fence. Low-angle shooting is the opposite.

Holding the camera close to the ground lets you shoot

from unusual perspectives for photos with an enchanting

and sometimes startling look.

D-Movie

This is Nikon’s digital movie shooting feature. D-Movie lets you

take advantage of interchangeable lenses, one of the key

benefits of SLR cameras. The wide variety of NIKKOR lenses

gives you the tools to create movie clips with more dramatic

visuals than conventional camcorders. D-Movie can also utilize

Picture Control settings to create different moods.

Discover another way to see the world —

Live View shooting with the new 2.7-inch Vari-angle monitor

Flip it, tilt it, turn it, stow it. The new Vari-angle monitor adds a flexible dimension to Live View

shooting, which vividly shows your subject in real-time. Now with this freely adjustable monitor,

taking great shots and movie clips with Live View is easier and more enjoyable than ever.

The D5000 enhances Live View shooting by giving you a choice of different display views.

Minimize displayed camera settings when you want an uncluttered view of the scene, or show

vital information at a glance for situations requiring a comprehensive readout of settings. There

is also a convenient grid display to aid in composition, and an edit display that allows you to

quickly change settings without taking your eye off the shot.

Different types of photos require different focus strategies, and the D5000 has the right Live View autofocus mode

for any occasion. Whether it’s a unique expression, dynamic action, or a small object in a big composition, the

four easily selectable modes help you stay focused for sharp results.

D-Movie file sizes

Choose from three different file types depending

on usage: for photo sharing web sites and blogs

320 x 216 pixels; for viewing on PCs 640 x 424

pixels and; for viewing on HDTV 1,280 x 720

pixels.

Notes: • Autofocus cannot be used with D-Movie. • A tripod is recommended when shooting movies.

• Movie samples can be found on the Nikon web site.

Make your memories come to life in all the breathtaking splendor of HD movie clips. D-Movie

records beautiful videos with sound, expanding your range of creative options beyond still

images. It also lets you take advantage of the large selection of NIKKOR lenses to obtain a

variety of dramatic perspectives unavailable with typical camcorders. After shooting, you can

watch movies clips on the D5000, download the movie clips for viewing on a PC, or connect

to an HDTV via the built-in HDMI connector to share with family and friends.

When composing through the optical viewfinder is not an option, try

Live View shooting via the 2.7-inch Vari-angle monitor. This crisp

230,000-dot monitor with 100% scene coverage gives you the

freedom to hold the camera in a variety of positions, making it simple

to shoot from dramatic and interesting new angles. Raise the D5000

high to shoot over crowds, or hold it close to the ground for a little

creature’s view of the world. Whatever perspective you choose, the

Vari-angle monitor adjusts easily to accommodate your creative urges.

And when you’re finished shooting, the monitor can be tucked away

with the LCD panel facing the camera back — the perfect way to

protect the monitor against scratches and other damage.

From up high, down low, or to the side, the Vari-angle monitor lets you

create bold compositions using perspectives you never thought possible.

Subject tracking AF

New subject tracking

autofocus “memorises” a

moving subject — like a

pet or face — then

maintains focus on it.

Even if the subject

momentarily leaves the

frame…

… the D5000 automatically

refocuses on it when it

reappears without the need for

additional user adjustments.

Note: Autofocus operation is interrupted while the camera is tracking the subject.

Face priority AF Normal area AF Wide area AF

Automatically detects up to five faces, then

focuses on the one closest to the camera.

Offers pinpoint precision when focusing on a

small area — ideal when using a tripod.

A good all-round choice for a variety of subjects,

both moving and stationary. It is especially

well-suited for handheld shooting.
