Push your creativity to the limits with the Nikon D5000! Create photographic images that up until now have existed only in your imagination.

This guide takes you through Nikon’s advanced features and explains what they are, how they work, and how they can perform in real-world situations.

Camera settings: The D5000 is endlessly configurable. We go into detail about the settings that can have the most impact on your shooting. We also address the topics of Live View and video exposure control.

Nikon Speedlights and flash photography: We discuss choices and settings you can use to manipulate the ambient light or added light with external flash units.

Color properties and settings: You will learn how to control color properties and how to build new Picture Controls for your camera. In our color management section, we address the issue of maintaining authentic color throughout the digital image workflow, from choosing a color space, through post processing on a computer monitor, all the way to the printed output.

Your ritual and custom menus: We show you how to set up the camera to match your personal approach to photography. We lay out a method for preparing you and the camera to get great, consistent results every time.

The Nikon D5000 is known for its limitless flexibility. We take this marvelous camera into the real world and tie the settings and configurations to the subject, the physical environment, and the equipment you are carrying. By the time you finish watching this presentation, you will have the know-how that allows you to concentrate on the most important task of all: capturing the image you want, the way you see it.

This training DVD is not for novice photographers. It assumes you have a working knowledge of digital photography and the controls on your camera.
