Scene Modes allow the camera to simultaneously adjust a number of settings when you select the mode that matches the scene. This makes it easy to obtain great looking photos even in difficult shooting situations. Autofocus Point This is a precisely placed area in the viewfinder that the camera uses to determine focus. Digital SLR cameras have a number of autofocus points distributed in the viewfinder. Generally, these are selectable to allow focusing on subjects that are not in the middle of the frame. Fast, precise 11-point autofocus system Autofocus is a key function in any digital camera. The D5000 uses Nikon's reliable Multi-CAM 1000 autofocus sensor module for fast, accurate autofocus. Strategically arranged for outstanding coverage of both vertical and horizontal compositions, the diamond-shaped array of 11 autofocus points - with one precision cross-type point - handles nearly any shooting situation. 11 autofocus points provide crisp focus over a wide area. Four autofocus modes keep photos looking sharp The D5000 makes it point-and-shoot simple to acquire clear, tack-sharp photos when composing via the bright, informative optical viewfinder. Whether your subject is off-center, moving fast, or completely unpredictable, the D5000 has the right autofocus solution. Single-point AF Dynamic-area AF Auto-area AF 3D-tracking AF Manually select an autofocus point with the multi-selector, compose, and shoot. This is a great way to maintain focus on static, off-center subjects. Capturing fast moving subjects has never been easier. Select a focus area and the corresponding autofocus points combine to produce sharp results. Unsure of what mode to use? Let the D5000 decide for you. It automatically changes autofocus modes depending on whether the subject is static or dynamic. Select an autofocus point on a moving subject and the D5000 locks on, utilizing all autofocus points to keep the subject in sharp focus even as the composition changes. Nikon Scene Recognition System Because every photo opportunity is unique, the D5000 is equipped with Nikon's exclusive Scene Recognition System to effortlessly capture the beauty of every moment. This advanced technology uses a 420-pixel color sensor to analyze a composition. It then optimizes exposure, autofocus, and white balance over the entire scene immediately before the shutter is released, delivering sharp, wonderfully balanced images. 420-pixel Color (RGB) Sensor Image Sensor Autofocus Auto Exposure & i-TTL Controll • Subject identification • Composition -change detection • Face priority AF • Highlight analysis • Face detection Auto White Balance • Light source identification • Face detection Playback • Zoom to face Quiet shooting keeps the peace Some shots require a soft approach. That's why the D5000 is equipped with new Quiet Shooting mode - a great solution for capturing sleeping babies, classical concerts, or any other scene where silence is golden. This new mode noticeably reduces the sound of internal mechanisms when the shutter is pressed, helping you get the shot without disturbing the peace. Quiet Shooting mode won't wake the baby. 7
