I’ve had this camera for years most of the time I’ve used auto mode. I finally understand all of the features the D3000 has. Thanks for the thorough walkthrough!
This is very informative, super helpful. Thanks for going through all of this. I have a D3000 and not really sure what all the modes and buttons and parameters mean. Thank you for this. I especially appreciate you putting everything into context and how to use each thing and not just "this is what this button does."
I’ve recently picked up this camera from one of my siblings and am a complete novice. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! GREAT VIDEO! Super informative and clear to understand! Thank you for giving back some of your field expertise towards even the nichest of guides! Can already anticipate the benefits from watching, keep using examples they’re really good visuals!
Just bought one of these cameras second hand for £45 in a bid to get back into photography. Your videos are proving invaluable so sincerely, thanks very much, mate.
Wonderful information my first dslr camera i will watch this video religiously.. plus your soothing voice helps my anxiety and nerves .. im so glad I’ve come across your content of knowledge…
Thank you! I'm always glad that my work helps learning photographers. You'll do well with this camera. The worst-case scenario is that you delete some photos or readjust some settings. This is a great first DSLR.
I’ve bought this camera on marketplace because I need to use it for yearbook not only that but i’m the photographer for my senior year so this helps a lot 👍🏾thanks man
This is the first "real" camera I have ever bought. I had no idea how to use it and it's 10 years old😂😂😂. Now I have 2 boys, it's time to learn. TY for this video.
@@DavidHancock Unfortunately this lens does not have any markings, nor the body. I bought the camera way back in 13 or 14. Not sure if that makes a difference.
Just a word about "use any old flash" with the hot shoe mount... many pre digital era flashguns use a 'trigger voltage current' that could damage a digital camera. So, it is important before mounting such a flash to check what voltage the trigger circuit uses. It is reasonably safe to assume that your digital camera is okay for use at voltages up to 10volts or so. Either lookup your flashguns trigger voltage online by way of a Google search or use a multimeter to measure the current between the centre ball connection on the hotshoe foot and the metal pin located it the keyway slot of the shoe mount (within the side channel way). Old flashguns can vary between about 3v and 300v.. so it is a potential issue. If damage occurs the camera will no longer trigger an external unit and may even fail to trigger the built in flash from that day on. Hope that helpe avoid any heartache. 😢
Mr. Hancock, as soon as the video finished, I liked and subscribed. Thank you very much for the video! Keep up the good and hard work. By the way, nice coffee cup! 😁
Great Video , coming from a Konica 35mm Film SLR background Digital SLR's are very intimidating and expensive to say the least , the Nikon D3000 is very affordable now and still far exceeds past technology yet still allowing Manual Control Photography thanks !
The pop-up flash button doesn’t seem to work for me. Nothing happens. Is there another way to get it to come out or do I have to buy an attachment to have a flash?
Check the mode that you're set to. If it continues not to work, it may be a shot release motor. If you press the release button and hear a clicking, then it's likely the motor.
I have a Tamron Lens on this camera Autofocus was working,but now isn't,I have to manually Focus and results aren't as good,any idea why Autofocus has stopped working please?
Yup. FYI, this is an affiliate link: www.amazon.com/FirstPower-EN-EL9a-Battery-2100mAh-Compatible/dp/B08F7X4CKQ?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=5119llc-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=2cfd50f2dc8eb8741478006f15df5c38&camp=1789&creative=9325
How do you fix the screen from timing out so fast or is that just something that happens. I noticed if i dont touch a button for about 10-15 seconds my screen goes black.
Check your ISO and if you're in AUTO ISO then your camera is probably increasing the ISO, which increases noise. The only way to fix it is with a faster lens, lower ISO, and more light.
There are a few potential reasons and I would need a lot more info to find out why. If you check the Nikon forums website, someone there can probably help answer your question.
I learned more in the 20 minutes of this video than I have in the last 13 years of owning this camera.
Thank you!

Nice!
@@DavidHancock how do I find the thread size of the lens? Looking for filters and a hood, but other than 55mm I'm not sure.
@@trashyaudiophile7301 for the 18-55mm, the filter thread is 52mm. Most lenses have that printed on the front next to a diameter symbol
@@DavidHancock I looked all over, is not listed.
TY again.

Good point and thank you.
My sister gave this camera to me, thanks to your video i have something to guide me use this one
That's an awesome gift!
Thank you! Just what I was looking for, something this detailed since I got the camera with no manual informative to a beginner like me.
Nice! I'm glad I could help.

Thank you for the guide! I still hold on my ND3000. I think it still great dslr even though lack of modern features.
Nice! They're definitely still great.
Excellent information, thank you for sharing. I’m learning

As a quick check, did the camera get switched from auto to manual focus?

That's a setting covered in video 3.
Merci grâce à vous j'ai pu refaire le réglage au loin
Fantastique et merci !
Thanks for the flash information.
Thank you!
my nighttime photos with D3000 usually comes grainy and dark even with flash, how do I fix it?

You video is fantastic. Thanks 🙏🏼
Thank you!
Good day, can you help me I have a zoom lens which I don't know what T mount adapter should I buy I have this camera too ...
For a T mount lens, you'll need a T mount to Nikon F adapter.
Thankyou so much
does this exact camera have Live view option?
If so, it's covered in this video. Since I've made a ton of these for Nikon cameras, I can't recall when LV became a feature in this tier of camera.
And btw thanks for the information. It's really helpful.
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
my Autoexposure is not working is says on my screen Autoexposure error
That's a new one for me. I'd check with the Nikon Forums website. Some of the users there might know what to do.
WHY IS MY SD CRAD SAYING THERE ARE NO IMAGES IN THIS FOLDER,THOUGH I HAVE TAKEN A FEW PHOTOS

Hi my picture set control is not opening I don't know what's wrong. Nikon D3000
Check video 3, which covers all the menu settings. There might be something in there that helps. If not, let me know.

How to change effect for Nikon camera d3000
I think you're looking for the image settings, which should be detailed in Video 3, under the menu system.

Nope. This is for still images only.
