QuestionKids/sports photo adviceI need to know how to best use/set up camera for sports and kids-moving/action. I know it has auto settings on the dial but I want to know how to set up the M,P,A settings on the dial so that I get even better pics. I can't find the answer anywhere.

- Answer You will need to research further on how to control those settings since it’s very extensive and also by practicing you can achieve better photos. Mean while just keep using the scene mode for Sports or set your camera for “P” (program).

QuestionLearning about the cameraDo you ever teach classes on how to use these cameras? I'm not very experienced and would like some information beyond the booklets. I find it much easier to take courses and learn by a professonal, all the different aspects of using these cameras. I also would enjoy this because I'd rather learn more about the camera than just using automatic. It seems a bit silly to purchase such an expensive camera and then just use the auto feature all the time. I'm also a jeweler and I've always found it very difficult to take photos of jewelry and not have shadows or glare off the stones and no one teaches anything about this in our area(at least not that I'm aware of), since it's sort of a special type of photography.
Asked 14 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The DVD that comes in the starter kit, worked really well with me. I am a D-SLR novice and It was a step by step video I could pause and rewind. There was even a section about lighting that covered small object photography like jewelery. In addition, Nikon has other videos that cover using external flashes, lighting and shadow, like the Nikon SB-900 external flash, not to mention many other subjects. The perfect shot is in the photographer's eye. The camera is just an aid to capture the moment. These videos will help you to get the most out of your camera. Experience is how you develop your own photographer eye. These videos will cover a basic of lens selection, camera lens filters (helps reduce glare), flash and lighting. Your local area community college might have a photography class that will give you more guidance in things like composition.

QuestionD3000 vs D3100I see the D3100 has a CMOS sensor vs another type in the D3000. What is the difference? Also is the HDMI video mode something that is useful? Would it be a memory hog?
Asked 14 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Just on the video - yes it uses a lot of memory, but if you get a good sized memory card, it will not be a problem. I have really enjoyed the video feature, because it means one less device to carry, and the quality is great!

QuestionWhat is the best setting in terms of image and size for printing regular size pictures (4x6 or 5x7)I received the D3100 as a gift and when the setting was set to large print, the file was too big making it impossible to save all the picture to disk. Are there particular settings for picture taking to just use the camera to take pictures for printing (photo album)?

- Answer Please see page # 66 of the user's manual for the D3100 for image size information.

Asked 14 years ago by kim.
- Answer 3fps per sec is decent, not the fastest. if your mainly shooting sports i would look into a Faster Shutter Speed camera such as the Sony 33 or 55. They have super fast shutter speeds for under 1000k$$ which is rare to see.

QuestionD5000 or D3100?I've been looking and can't seem to decide between the D3100 or the D5000, which one would you recommend? And are there any major differences?
Asked 13 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Both are good. Depends what you looking for. In 5000 I like Gen 2 features: 12MP resolution, ADR, magic lateral color fringe correction. You have to read carefully about the camera's features, compare and decide which features fit you most. Do you homework. Nobody will do this for you. It is your money you are spending.
