I do feel somewhat ambivalent about the D5000's design. For a complete list of features and their implementations, you can download a PDF copy of the D5000's manual.) (For more on the design, click through the slideshow. Like Canon's, however, it's very slow and a bit noisy. Though it doesn't do continuous autofocus, you can initiate AF while recording. There's no dedicated mode for shooting video (that's a good thing) instead, while in Live View mode, you use the OK button to stop and start recording. There's also a programmable function button that falls under your left thumb-I like that location-to which you can assign direct access to drive modes, image size and quality, ISO sensitivity, white balance, Active D-Lighting, raw override, and bracketing. I generally like the interactive displays, but the D5000's LCD is a bit difficult to see in sunlight, which made changing settings somewhat problematic.

Through it, in combination with the back dial and multi selector, you adjust shutter speed, aperture, image size and quality, white balance, ISO sensitivity, focus mode, AF area (single, multi, wide area, and 3D tracking), metering, D-Lighting, exposure bracketing (three shots in up to two stop increments), Picture Control, exposure and flash compensation, and flash mode. The control layout is pretty typical, although Nikon seems to have eliminated more direct-access buttons than most products in its class and replaced them entirely with the interactive display. It does not store any personal data.Nikon moved all the shooting controls into the interactive display.
