Built-in Wi-Fi & GPS connectivity
Ready, Set, Action
With 39 focus points, including nine cross-type sensors in the center, the D5300's autofocus system is incredibly accurate. Advanced 3D subject tracking maintains focus on even the smallest subjects, however unpredictable their movements may be. Shoot action at a swift 5 fps and capture fleeting movements or expressions at exactly the right moment.
Create Quality Movie & Audio
Record smooth, finely detailed Full HD video clips you'll be proud of (at frame rates up to 50p/60p). Continuous Live View autofocus keeps your subjects sharp, even when the action is fast. Record movies that don't just look good, but that sound great, too. Thanks to the camera's built-in stereo microphone and compatibility with Nikon's external ME-1 Stereo Microphone, it's easy to capture footage with crisp, clear sound.
HDMI output: Connect your camera directly to an HDTV screen and enjoy your movies and photos in superb high-definition. Compatible with HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), the camera even allows you to control playback using your TV's remote control.
2016 px RGB Metering Sensor
The D5300's incredibly accurate metering sensor delivers exact exposures and sends data to the Scene Recognition System, which optimises auto exposure, autofocus, and auto white balance for superior results.
Special Effect Modes
Effects mode: Create distinctive photos and movies using a range of special effects. Isolate colours so they stand out, go black-and-white, explore a retro effect, or make buildings look like miniature scale models. You can preview your chosen effect and adjust its intensity as you shoot.
16 scene modes: Quickly capture perfect shots using a range of scene modes, including Sports, Beach, and Snow. Simply select the mode that matches the subject or situation you're shooting, and the camera will automatically optimise shutter speed, ISO, and aperture for superior results.
Optimum Detail in High-Contrast Conditions
Two modes help you capture the details in both dark and bright areas when you shoot images in strong light, or in backlit situations. HDR (High Dynamic Range) is ideal for stationary subjects and Active D-Lighting is ideal for photos of moving subjects. Both modes allow you to select the intensity level.
