  • General
    • Brand: Nikon
    • Model Number: 1522
    • Product Name: D5300 DSLR Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens
    • Color: Black
    • Product Set: w/ 18-55mm Lens
    • Digital Camera Type: DSLR Camera with Lens
  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
    • Image Resolution (Display): 6000 x 4000 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
    • Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
    • Image File Format(s): JPEG, MPEG-4, Other, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
  • Focus
    • Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Shutter Speeds: 1/4000 - 30 sec. in 1/3 or 1/2 EV steps; bulb (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
    • Minimum ISO: 100 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. When there is plenty of light, using the lowest ISO setting available will typically result in a higher quality image.)
    • Maximum ISO: 12801 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. In low-light environments, using a higher ISO setting helps to capture a sharp, bright image.)
    • Maximum Expandable ISO: 25600 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. Expandable ISO settings use software to simulate brighter images than the device's native ISO range is capable of capturing.)

    • Shooting Modes: Portrait, landscape, child, sports, close-up, night portrait, night landscape, party/indoor, beach/snow, sunset, pet portrait, candlelight and more (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)

    • White Balance Modes: Auto, incandescent, fluorescent (7 types), direct sunlight, flash, cloudy, shade, preset manual (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
    • Effective Pixels: 24.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Flash
    • Flash Modes: Automatic, Off, Red-eye reduction, Slow sync (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)

    • Screen Size: 3.2 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Viewfinder Type: Optical (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
    • Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)

Q: Comparison between the D5300 and the d5500

A: Both the D5300 and the D5500 are 24MP DX sensors capable of taking crystal-clear still photos and full HD video. They both feature built-in Wi-fi and GPS and can shoot continuously up to 5 frames per second. While they share many similar features, the newer, lighter D5500 includes some exciting new features. The D5500 is Nikon's first DSLR to offer a 3.2-inch Vari-angle touch operation LCD display, the user to choose their focus point via Touch AF, pinch in to check focus and even activate the shutter with the touch of a fingertip. D5500 users can also take advantage of an expanded wide-ranging ISO spanning 100-25,600, which makes it easy to capture great images, even when available light is scarce. Super Vivid, POP and Photo illustration have been added as Effects Modes, and Picture Controls have been enhanced by adding a “Flat” option. Both cameras are ideal entry-level DSLR for the creative photographer ready to take their storytelling to a new level.

Q: Zoom quality

A: Since you will be a distance away taking pictures - indoors, we would recommend the 18-140. Be aware that you will need to boost the ISO in order to freeze motion. The D5300 makes it easy to do that. It is a SPORTS Scene Mode that will make all the correct settings for you. Be aware, once your camera is in this mode it will disable the flash.

Q: wifi

A: The camera is able to create its own network. Download the official app from Nikon Apple or Android. You can then connect the phone and camera in a stand alone network. It is pretty easy.

Q: Can I. Shoot panorama with the d5300

A: While the Nikon D5300 DSLR camera has a lot to offer photographers, it does not have a panoramic option on it. If you are looking into getting a DSLR that has a panoramic option you may want to look into the Nikon D3300 DSLR camera. The Nikon D3300 offers high-resolution panoramas, as well as many other options for taking beautiful images.

Q: I WANT TO PURCHASE DSLR ENTRY LEVEL WHICH ONE ROUGH AND TOUGH BODY D 3000,3300,5200,OR 5300 OR5500

A: Nikon does not manufacture shock-proof or water-proof DSLRs. While no particular specification is published regarding water or dust protection, our higher end cameras are designed for professional use and can withstand the rigors of that type of photography. The consumer level models, while built to withstand normal usage are not as sealed and protected as the higher end models.

Q: Does this camera take good quality pictures at night?

A: The Nikon D5300 DSLR camera has a variety of options to help you get amazing images at night. There are scenes modes such as Dusk/Dawn and Night Landscape that are preset to help you capture high-quality images of night time activities that are sharp and vivid. You can also adjust the camera settings to set it up for a night time scene. Check out the following article for some tips for shooting at night: http://www.nikonusa.com/en/learn-and-explore/a/tips-and-techniques/taking-pictures-at-dusk-and-at-night.html

Q: I had a Nikon D300 that required me to use only a Compact Flash memory card; could I use that for this camera?

A: No, the Nikon D5300 DSLR camera is not compatible with Compact Flash cards. Approved card brands for the Nikon D5300 camera are SanDisk, Toshiba, Panasonic, and Lexar Media cards. Compatible memory card types are SD, SDHC and SDXC and range in size from 2GB to 128GB. For more specifics on card compatibility with this camera please contact Nikon Support.

Q: What is the manufacture year of the d5300?

A: The Nikon Camera was released in November 2013.
