Pictures and video from unique
perspectives: vari-angle LCD
monitor
As many photographers and videographers
know, the most compelling composition
isn’t always seen from eye-level. That’s why
the D5200’s vari-angle LCD monitor can be
used from a wide variety of positions,
enabling you to find unique perspectives
that might be difficult to discover with an
optical viewfinder. Whether you are taking
photographs, filming action or even using a
tripod, you can compose shots from unique
vantage points such as above crowds at a
concert or sporting event, or close to the
ground when capturing images of children
or flowers. Let the large, incredibly sharp
7.5-cm (3-in.) LCD monitor lead you to
better image capture. Its approx. 921k dots
give you high-definition viewing even under
bright conditions, and Nikon’s renowned AF
system in live view mode provides fast and
accurate detection during
fleeting moments.

Amazing detail in both highlights and shadows: HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Active D-Lighting
The D5200 can capture scenes with a wide dynamic range, but
when the contrast between a scene’s brightest and darkest areas
is extremely high, the camera provides two solutions: HDR and
Active D-Lighting. With adjustable intensity levels, both give you
beautiful pictures that capture an extended range of light and
shadow. HDR is recommended for stationary subjects such as
landscapes*, while Active D-Lighting is beneficial when shooting
scenes with moving subjects. Both use the power of the EXPEED 3
image-processing engine to realize better and more faithful color
integrity.
*The camera takes two shots within a single shutter release when in HDR mode. For optimum image sharpness, a
tripod is recommended.

16 Scene Modes and Scene Auto Selector

rotating the command dial. When using live view, the Scene Auto
Selector feature chooses the most suitable scene mode for your
subject matter from the following options: Auto, Auto (flash off),
Portrait, Landscape, Close up, and Night portrait.
