Nikon D5000 come on in

[LiuLangMao]

btw guys there are books on purely using the D5000 are they useful? my previous cam is a prosumer ( fujifilm S6500FD) so izzit very useful to me?

a real DSLR is quite diff from the prosumer....a lot more setting u need to look out for..

I just upgrade from S9500 to D5000...I use to leave the WB to Auto and use Aperture P...and the result I quite happy abt it......but using DSLR very hard to let it Auto...the result always come out not I wanna...I am thinking of gettting those learning DVD, or go for the Nikon club D5000 learning class, think abt Sgd20/pax...

the grip izzit need to on infra shooting or smth then can use the vertical shutter izzit?
hoping to get a 55-200mm, sb-400 for my d5000 soon! and a mini outing will be great! anyone going for the $20 lesson?

err... just a short cable from grip to the gps usb unit... than go go go....~~!!;p

Got my D5000 kit too! On Friday. But I think my deal wasn't as good as a few of yours I saw who got it over the weekend? $1188 at MS, with bag and 8gb card only. =( But I love using the cam!! Super fun. =) Even though I haven't totally finished reading the manual yet... So many pages!!! O.O

How long did you leave the battery out? Leaving the battery out for a couple of hours should not require you to reset the date and time. If that's the case, then maybe a visit to NSC would be helpful.

If you left it out for days, then there is a likelihood that the internal battery is drained out. In this case, I'd suggest getting a 2nd battery while the first one is charging. In any case, it's good to have a spare battery.

yeah agreed. As stated in the manual, the 'time-clock' inside our body should be able to last for abt 3 days after we take out our battery.. hope this helps..cheers...

been using the D5000 a few days , and i found smth very interesting:

the exposure by the camera on auto is totally off! always underexposed one, den cant compensate cause its in auto, den most of the time i shoot in Aperture Priority. ask u guys ah, regarding the auto bracketing is there any way to hold the shutter and capture the 3 shots in one go instead of one at a time?

actually u turn to page 21 of the manual ...got write...

"The camera clock is powered by an independent, rechargeable power sources, which is charged as neccessary when the main battery is installed . Three days of charging will power the clock for about a month."

send in ur set to NSC...think u got a DIE batter...
