The D5300 retains the state of the art Multi-CAM 4800DX 39-point autofocusing
system and the 2016-pixel Color Matrix Metering II metering system that was
introduced with the D5200.
The D5300 is a camera at its own level within the Nikon system, having many features
that even the much more expensive professional models don’t have. It is more com-
pact than more expensive models too, which is great for travelers and people who
don’t want to be encumbered by a huge professional camera, but want high-end
professional features.
About theDigital Field Guide
The Nikon Digital Field Guide book series is intended to act as an adjunct to the manual
that comes with your camera. While the manual gives you a great overview of the
camera, a photographer didn’t write it. The Nikon D5200 Digital Field Guide gives you
all the information you need about the camera from a working photographer’s
perspective.
The goal of this guide is to help photographers — from novice to advanced amateur —
grasp all of the features of their new camera. It includes tips learned from working with
the camera in the eld, as well as some basic information to help newer photographers
get up to speed quickly.
This full-color guide walks you through setting up your camera, offers insight about
which settings to use, and tells you why each setting is useful in particular situations.
Full-color images demonstrate different photography concepts, and show you some of
the things the D5300 is able to accomplish.
The Nikon D5300 Digital Field Guide will help you familiarize yourself with your camera
more quickly, so that you can not only navigate and handle it better, but also more
easily achieve your photographic vision.
