Nikon D5100 features:

Shooting modes and functions:

Shooting modes are switched using the rotary dial located on the top panel of the camera.
As with any SLR camera, there is a group of PASM modes:
  • P mode - the camera automatically selects shutter speed and aperture for optimal exposure
  • Mode A - you set the aperture, the camera determines the shutter speed
  • S mode - you set the shutter speed, the camera selects the aperture.
  • M mode - manual mode. Both shutter speed and aperture are set.
In the PASM mode group, you cannot make the ISO setting automatic - you must definitely set a specific ISO value. Auto ISO is only available in "easy" modes.

AUTO Mode:

Almost all parameters are determined by the camera in accordance with the current situation. The flash fires automatically when the subject is poorly lit. The set of changeable parameters in this mode is limited.

Story programs:

The Nikon D5100 has seven scene programs arranged in separate positions on the mode dial: Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sports, Macro, Night portrait, and No flash.

Effect Modes:

Nikon D5100 has 7 different effects:
  • Grainy B&W: Creates grainy black and white images
  • Soft Focus: Provides soft focus
  • Toy camera effect
  • Miniature effect: used to sharpen part of an image
  • night vision effect
  • silhouette effect
Effects may only be available when shooting in live view. In order to activate the Live View mode, a special lever has been added near the mode wheel.

Active D-Lighting function:

Active D-Lighting is useful in high contrast environments. It helps to brighten the darkest areas, while avoiding overexposure.

Video:

Nikon D5100 can shoot video at 1280x720 30 fps and 1920x1080 24 fps.
Nikon D5100 is equipped with a built-in video editor. Its capabilities do not differ much from the video editors built into cameras - you can cut off the excess, as well as save a single frame, selected and stopped in pause mode.

Display:

The Nikon D5100 is equipped with a 3-inch LCD swivel screen. Its resolution is 921,000 pixels. On the display, the user can make shooting settings and read information about certain parameters.

Viewfinder:

The viewfinder in the Nikon D5100 is equipped with a rubber eyecup. Frame coverage is 95 percent.

Advantages and disadvantages:

  • Active D-Lighting
