    Indeed, all of the above functions are true and speak of the convenience of using the camera, I’m just a beginner photographer and would like to somehow consolidate my knowledge in practice, but the pro is still far from the Nikon D40 and I came up very well for a start.

      The D40 is an ingeniously simple camera.

        Not Active D-Lightning, but D-Lightning. The person wrote it correctly. See instructions page 90: “… the D-Lightning option increases the brightness in the shadows…”

        Then I apologize.
        To be honest, I thought that the D40 was such an ancient, simple and “wooden” camera that there is neither one nor the other.

        One of the reasons why it remains valid for jpeg directly from the camera.

    The camera loves the sun, but what are the optimal settings in manual mode for rooms? The entire range of settings is little used. A little upset by the lack of motor. The rest of the camera is worth the money. Special thanks for the review.

      For rooms, you can raise ISO up to 400, preferably a fast fix. Motility is no longer a problem due to the large selection of lenses with a motor

    Hello. Thanks for the review. But it would be interesting to learn from this article about maximum shutter speed (astrophotography lovers will be interested) and how things are with video (resolution, shooting time, recording format, sound quality, etc.)

      Maximum exposure 30 seconds or Bulb mode - you can buy a remote control. control, otherwise you have to hold the shutter button with your hand. There is no time limit in Bulb modes. He doesn't know how to shoot video.

    An interesting review, easy to read, clearly showing the advantages and disadvantages. I really liked this model! The friend is the same. Convenient and practical camera, with a large bright display. Quite a lot of settings, as for me. Photos are of high quality. The battery holds for a long time. The camera lives up to all expectations.

    The Nikon D3000 camera is perfect for beginner professional photographers. It’s very easy to work with it, I’ve been convinced of it. The camera is very light, the camera shutter is heard very quietly, there are no extra buttons, unlike other brands of manufacturers. With Nikon D3000, the pictures are clear, bright . I want to thank the developers. Thank you for the fact that in our house there is this wonderful device that captures significant dates for my family and leaves wonderful photographs as a keepsake.

    Excellent fotik! I bought it recently. Well, I'm just not overjoyed. During the day, the pictures are superb. It is better to buy a flash for shooting at night. The built-in is rather weak, from a close distance it is normal, and the meter is no longer visible.

    Nikon d3000 is a budget camera. For a small day, you can buy and enjoy. I have a dream to collect money for a little and get Nikon. I love to shoot. The review is excellent and instructive. Lots of information about the Nikon d3000. After such a review, I have no doubt that you need to start with the Nikon d3000.

      You can start with any camera, my advice is Nikon D40, it is no longer produced, but in order to experience the capabilities of a DSLR, even a 50mm 1.4 is enough.

        For static shooting, you will not be able to use all 11 points at once, you have to select one of them, but for dynamic shooting you need to select 11 points and tracking autofocus, continuous or 3D

      Picture control mode - monochrome - black and white. If you shoot in Raw and then dump into a converter on a computer, color recovery is possible.

    An excellent camera, switched to it with the Fuji S1900. The quality of the pictures is excellent both day and night. The instruction is written intelligibly, it is immediately clear that the manufacturer was thinking about people who will use this camera. The 18-55 VR kit lens is great for the novice photographer. Here are examples of photos from this camera with a whale lens

    what to do if the shutter sound does not work and the auxiliary backlight does not turn on

    • Arkady Shapoval
      07.10.2011

      If the sound of the shutter does not work, then the shutter does not work either - then the path will lead you to the service center.
      But if you meant that the focus signal does not work, then most likely this is due to the settings in the menu and / or shooting in AF-C mode (focus tracking mode).
      Auxiliary lighting may also be turned off and / or may not work in AF-C mode (AF tracking mode). To solve the problem, it is enough to play in the camera settings (possibly the lens).

      The Nikon D3000 does not have such a mode (called live view) to see on the display what you are shooting like in a regular camera. This mode is available only on Nikon D3100, D5000, D5100, D7000, D90, D300 (s), D700, D3 (x, s)

      A whale is a camera complete with a lens. The lens that comes with the kit is called a kit lens. From English Kit - kit.
      Body is a camera without a lens.
