How do I change the aperture on my Nikon D3000?

First, make sure that the dial on the top of the camera is set to “M” position. Next, press and hold the +/- button located right below the camera shutter, then rotate the rear command dial to change aperture. Rotating to the left will decrease the aperture, while rotating to the right will increase the aperture.

Can the Nikon D3000 shoot video?

Thank goodness the D3000 has no video mode or Live View. DSLR video modes make crappy video and clog up the camera’s operation and price, so not having video makes for a better camera at a better price. The best thing about the D3000 is that Nikon gave it one of the best menu systems yet.

How do you blur the background with a Nikon D3000?

If you want to blur a background, the most straight forward answer is to set the lens at the maximum aperture for any given focal length. For instance, if you are shooting zoomed in all the way, which would be a focal length of 55mm, you should make sure your aperture is set to f/5.6.

Does the Nikon D3000 have Flash?

Nikon D3000 Flash. Flash photography has been a particular strength of Nikon SLRs for some time now, and the D3000 follows suit, with its implementation of Nikon’s 3D Color Matrix II metering for flash exposures. Auto modes automatically pop the flash up as needed in poor lighting or backlit scenes.

Which image quality is best for DSLR Nikon?

With the Nikon D3400, you have a choice of two image types: RAW and JPG. RAW offers the best image quality, but it’s less convenient because the files require post-processing to use them. JPG is far more convenient because of its wide compatibility, but it doesn’t offer the same quality benefits.
