Because every photo opportunity is unique, the D5000
is equipped with Nikon’s exclusive Scene Recognition
System to effortlessly capture the beauty of every
moment. This advanced technology uses a 420-pixel
color sensor to analyze a composition. It then optimizes
exposure, autofocus, and white balance over the entire
scene immediately before the shutter is released,
delivering sharp, wonderfully balanced images.
Manually select an autofocus point with
the multi-selector, compose, and shoot.
This is a great way to maintain focus on
static, off-center subjects.
Dynamic-area AF
Capturing fast moving subjects has
never been easier. Select a focus area
and the corresponding autofocus points
combine to produce sharp results.
Auto-area AF
Unsure of what mode to use? Let the
D5000 decide for you. It automatically
changes autofocus modes depending
on whether the subject is static or
dynamic.
3D-tracking AF
Select an autofocus point on a moving
subject and the D5000 locks on,
utilizing all autofocus points to keep the
subject in sharp focus even as the
composition changes.

Autofocus is a key function in any digital camera. The D5000 uses
Nikon’s reliable Multi-CAM 1000 autofocus sensor module for fast,
accurate autofocus. Strategically arranged for outstanding coverage
of both vertical and horizontal compositions, the diamond-shaped
array of 11 autofocus points — with one precision cross-type point —
handles nearly any shooting situation.
Take the guesswork out of tricky photo situations with
Scene Modes. Simply turn the mode dial to SCENE and
choose the mode that matches the subject. The D5000
does the rest, automatically adjusting exposure, image
processing, Active D-Lighting and other settings for
optimum results. Sample photos appear on the display
to help you select the right shooting mode.
19 Scene Modes for any occasion
Scene Modes
These are preset camera settings that cover a wide
variety of shooting situations. Scene Modes allow the
camera to simultaneously adjust a number of settings
when you select the mode that matches the scene. This
makes it easy to obtain great looking photos even in
difficult shooting situations.
Autofocus Point
This is a precisely placed area in the viewfinder that the
camera uses to determine focus. Digital SLR cameras
have a number of autofocus points distributed in the
viewfinder. Generally, these are selectable to allow
focusing on subjects that are not in the middle of the
frame.
Nikon technology brings out the best in every shot. Expanded Scene Modes — 19 of them —
cover just about any shooting situation, automatically optimizing camera settings for a particular
scene. Add in lightning quick autofocus and you have a combination that assures you never
miss a memorable moment.
Fast, precise 11-point autofocus system
The D5000 makes it point-and-shoot simple to acquire clear, tack-sharp photos when composing via the bright, informative optical
viewfinder. Whether your subject is off-center, moving fast, or completely unpredictable, the D5000 has the right autofocus solution.
Four autofocus modes keep photos looking sharp
Nikon Scene Recognition System
Some shots require a soft approach. That’s why the
D5000 is equipped with new Quiet Shooting mode — a
great solution for capturing sleeping babies, classical
concerts, or any other scene where silence is golden.
This new mode noticeably reduces the sound of internal
mechanisms when the shutter is pressed, helping you
get the shot without disturbing the peace.
Quiet shooting keeps the peace
