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.
