The Self Timer: It takes the same amount of time for every other shot. Is there any way to set the time only for 1st picture and then take multiple pictures quickly because if you'd have to wait for 5 seconds for every 2nd group picture to be taken then it won't be much different then the 1st one???? Thanks
Thank you so much for your quick tutorial. Now I can go and practice...a lot. Do you have any suggestions for the better backpack to use for traveling?
Got my D5300 camera yesterday. Used it today with the result of numerous questions. I found your video and you answered nearly all of them in this video. Then, you introduced a bunch of other tips and tricks useful to this camera. Excellent video for anyone who needs to get started in taking good pictures on this camera. I will be watching this video again as you suggested. Thanks for your work.
I have watched many camera beginners tutorial videos (Nikon D5300) and all found partially but this is the best one i found more transparent / easy to understand. Very good awareness class! Thanks a lot
Watched this video when i bought camera. 10 years on, draging the old D5300 out of retirement, never knew how to drive it properly but now off work with illness, this video is so helpfull. I will spend time getting a handle on manual settings. Thank you
I just bought my camera a couple of weeks ago and your tutorial has been extremely helpful. Far too many sources assume the user already knows more than we actually do know, which can be quite frustrating. So I particularly appreciate the clear and concise manner in which you explain the various functions of the camera. And at no time do I feel like I'm being talked down to. I greatly respect that about you. One thing that I think should be mentioned is how to adjust the camera so that the video screen does not keep going into sleep mode. For those who do not know, go to: MENU>CUSTOM SETTING MENU>C TIMERS/AE LOCK>C2 AUTO OFF TIMERS. Thanks again, Mr Northrup. I look forward to reading your books! D
***** I learn a lot through watching good programs Tony uploads and do admire Chelsea's beauty, beside learning. They do a significant effort in doing what they do and why not to have financial benefit of that? Wishing all the best for Chelsea and Tony and please continue what you are doing so well.
I agree, nothing wrong with making a living while providing a valuable service. I just studied for and pass the Part 107 using their video study guide, and it was 100% free. I really enjoy this channel, it's way more entertaining than reading manuals as I improve my photography. Keep it up!
Can't thank you enough for this tutorial!! This is my first "big kid" camera and I had no idea how to use it! You answered so many questions that I didn't even know that I needed to ask! Again, thank you times a million! This was infinitely helpful :)
Best video ever on my Nikon D5300 camera (actually, on how to use any SLR camera). You are a pro at simplifying things! And OMG! You've packed so much info in this video! Thank you so much! BTW, I purchased your book, "How To Create Stunning Photography ... ." Glad I did!
I just can't start to thank you enough for all your contribution to photography and help that you and your wife give to beginning photographers. Your videos are always interesting, educational, and neat. I am a big fan of both brands, Canon and Nikon and have many DSLRs from both makes; they're just awesome! Thank you again!
Thank you so, so much! Just got my D5300 yesterday - a step up from my trusty D3300 which I have had for a few years now. Needed a second camera, so treated myself to this little beauty (with a few extra features). I have watched many tutorials - some I have found useful, others not so useful. Really pleased that I watched this one the whole way through. I loved the way that Tony broke down the whole video into small manageable sections, explaining everything simply while demonstrating on the camera. It felt great to be able to follow his instructions without feeling lost or confused. Thanks again...Pat x
Getting back to photography and started small for now (D5300), I like to shoot manual/raw (no digital back in the days), so thank you Toni for all the great tips and helping me eliminate auto...
I got this camera and I love it. I upgraded to it from my D3200. I've only being shooting for under a year but I have pretty much mastered both the D3200 and D5300. I watched this video to see what features I might have missed - the only ones were the grid lines in the view finder and the ISO in view finder. It's a fantastic camera. The wifi features are fantastic and make it easy to share my pictures right there and then. I love the mobile utility app and use it a lot for self portraits. Brilliant camera for beginners.
Hi Tony I'm from Greece and i bought this camera a month ago! I just wanted to thank you for your tutorial because its simple and it helped me a lot so thank you very much and i wish you the best on whatever you do !
We've just purchased a Nikon d5300 & been looking at various videos but none were that great - UNTIL we came across yours. Your video(s) is/are THE TOPS. Love the way you explain what everything is & how it works, also talking the time to zoom into the various buttons/wheels showing us where they are. BRILLIANT - Thank you. Have also just purchased your book (the kindle version). Looking forward to going through everything in more detail.
I have been watching your video's and tutorials for many years and even watch the ones about Camera's i don't even own. They are great for going back to and reminding yourself about certain things. It was your guide to the Pentax K-S2 that got me hooked on watching you and it made me Change Camera's to the Pentax K-S2 which i bought brand new back in 2014 and still have. I love my Pentax, i recently bought the D5300 as something new to play with and remembered this guide and have watched it twice in the past week and the Content is still as valid now as it was then. I also have your Stunning Digital Photography which your references to are a great help. I haven't got the Lightroom one as i still use jpeg but am going to step it up a level and shoot RAW. Thanks for all your help and guidance over the years it's much appreciated.
Just ordered this camera and additional lenses you suggested. Cant wait to get them! Did I mention that I also ordered every BOOK i could find that you have out!!! You are an AWSOME teacher!!!! Many THANKS!!!!!!
Hi Tony . I just received my new D5300 today and I was so excited to get it , but after I received it , I started to be panicked and upset as I realized I had no idea how to use it , and no one to ask. I started research on you tube as the guide manual seemed hard to understood by me and then I finally saw your video. I believe this was the most useful video for the beginners I could find . Thank you for your work . Also I need to say I am a bit relived as I see other people having the same problems as I do , and this makes me not feel so dumb anymore . :) Thanks again , you provided us great help
I’m just half way through the video and i must say that this is the first time I‘ve watched a video where they reminded me to like and subscribe and didn’t find that annoying. I liked and subscribed because this video truly deserves as many likes as possible! great video!
THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO! I had a d80 and moved up to D5300. U made my life so much more easy watching this video and getting me all caught up with the new camera controls/features. I will be sure to check out what else u have to offer. Many thanks again!
Cheers Tony, not only does your book 'Stunning Digital Photography' provide clear & helpful tips, but this videao where you go through the features on this dslr really is the cherry on the cake for me !
I want to say thank you for making such an informative, no frills tutorial. it's very motivational for a newbie like myself! I bought this camera for taking night sky pictures. I will definitely take a look at your book!
THK 4 Sharing this ::: So I copy this ::: Got my D5300 camera today. Used it today with the result of numerous questions. I found your video and you answered nearly all of them in this video. Then, you introduced a bunch of other tips and tricks useful to this camera. Excellent video for anyone who needs to get started in taking good pictures on this camera.

I just bought the D5300 camera and this video is very informative. Your presentation is clear and easy to follow - the best I have watched in my research on how to get the best use of the camera. Thank you!
Excellent overview , i thought i had my heart set on a Nikon D7100 , however after seeing this Nikon D5300 and the price difference , i may have to rethink my choice.Thanks for the upload.
Good point about setting the time! I was in the Philippines getting married in December. I had already left my D5300 with my wife last summer, but I forgot to reset on my camcorder when I was there. Fun when the software files them by date and you are 13 hours off...
This is a fantastic tutorial video. I tried to learn everything from reading the manual which came with the camera, but your explanations are easier to understand. After using the D5300 for several years, you showed me several things I didn't know. Thanks. I just got a smartphone (I'm 73) and now I can send photos right away instead of having to go home to use my computer. I sent this link to my email so I can refer to it on the go.
I ordered D5300 after watching your video.. am beginner but am confident that i can learn more just by watching your videos.. really great video.. Ur smiling face n coolest explanation was very interesting to see through ur full videos without boring.. Thanks for your help..
Had this camera a year now. Watched loads of videos o how to shoot lightning storms with no luck. Just watched the first 20 mins and I reckon now I could have another go. Thank you for keeping things basic to amatures like me can understand.
I just stumbled across your excellent tutorial on the D5300. Thank you so much! I'm a LONG time pro news/magazine shooter and just picked up a used D5300 and 18-140 lens for a light weight vacation rig. My pro Nikons are better weather sealed and faster to use, but I appreciate how handy the D5300 is. I especially like the flip & rotation ability of the display screen. There are some weird button combinations on this camera, but like you said, set things up and leave them alone. You have a very smooth and professional delivery as a teacher. Thanks again for the thorough tutorial. Michael
Tony, I just want to compliment you on your work. It's a great service for the amateur photographer. I bought your books and watch your tutorial series online a lot. I finally upgraded to the D5300. Without the background of your tutorials I probably would have spent way too much on bodies and lenses. This sensor is probably all I'll ever need. I get great, clear, colorful, and sharp images. All your stuff is great for learning the technical as well as artistic aspects of photography. I'm a big fan. Thanks, Richard
thanks I can basically operate my camera now......but I realise I have the concentration skills of a 5 year old........Ill re watch the fiddly bits another day.
You are really life savior for me. Just got this camera and going on vacation with my fiance to take some pretty pictures. Your video helped me a lot to know more about this camera and Thank you very much for tips .
I got my D5300 for Christmas and i've watched this video a couple of times already. I'm working through your book and still learning the ropes. Photography is something i've always been interested in but this is the first big DSLR camera i've ever had. I used a kodak easy share 5MP camera for years. Thanks you so much for all the information you share through your videos and your book. My next purchase will be lightroom and your book on it as well.
Nikon D5300 24.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with Lens are discounted up to 34%. Click plus.google.com/u/0/116801018211802069365/posts/T1mMnG42UB2 to get one. Have a nice day!
I just bought a D5300 and have been watching tutorials and so glad to come across this channel. Thank you for the video, it is very helpful and easy to understand, just subscribed. Can't wait to play with my new toy. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
I'm a kid of age 11 years and your video helped me to learn photography with a DSLR named Nikon D5300 model, I can do better photography a DSLR. Thanks for your video, now I can do the best photography in my whole family. The every time I tell you thanks is less, A infinite number of thanks to you. Dear, Uncle.
I have to agree with Heidi below, this is a great video. I'm not at all trolling you at all, but maybe splitting this into a few different subjects so we can go to one quickly would be great. I refer back to this when i want to do something I forgot, but have to scan through it to find what I'm looking for. Liked and subbed!
I just bought the d5300 yesterday and was feeling a little intimidated moving up from a nice point and shoot. I am so glad that I found your video. You have really helped me get comfortable with the basics and I'm looking forward to learning more. I have loved photography since I was little and finally have a camera that I can use to really learn on. I'm excited to start taking pictures with my new camera!
I am a photography enthusiast.. Bought this cute looking D5300 Cam on my B'day.. Started using it already, stunning Camera and grt video to kick start wt it.. After watching this, I wud like to thought yr books as well.. Grt work 👏👌
This video was AMAZINGLY helpful! I just received my Nikon D5300 in the mail and the instruction manual was not included in the box. I was very confused at first but after watching this video I feel a lot more comfortable with the camera. Thank you for taking the time to make this video; It is greatly appreciated.
Tony Northrup your explanations and walkthroughs are second to none; evidence of a true professional how-to author. After being on the fence for a new DSLR for casual photos and the occasional portrait shoot, it was this tutorial that convinced me the D5300 was perfect for my needs. Oh and I just purchased your three books. Tip of my hat to you, sir. Cam
I got my D5300 about 5 years ago and it’s been sitting there and your video was so much help 🙏🏼 thank you .. my pictures still suck but I now know more about my camera 😂😭
Tony Northrup, Just got a 5300 and I was looking for something more objective in terms of guidance, when I found your video. Allow me to say this is a stunning introduction and really useful... Honestly I am really impressed with these well employed 40 minutes of my life. Thank you very much.
Best 39 minutes of instruction yet! Beat scrolling thru the PDF manual (still useful though). Gleaned much, and now will go back though it. Thanks Tony!
Viewing this in 2019 having dusted off my D5200, this video works perfectly for the older model as well, apart from the WiFi and GeoTagging. Great video, very informative without being too technical. Great job!
I'm just a beginner and my d5300 is my first camera in my life! I'm so glad that I found this video and it helps me a lot cause I knew nothing about photography. Thx:)
Wow! This video is extremely clear and informative. I have had my d5300 for about six months now and I have been so afraid to step out of either 'auto' or 'no flash' but now after watching your video I feel much more confident. Thank you for posting!
There is a lot of good information in this video about things to learn to do with my D5300. Having mostly used my phone for pictures for the last several years, there is a lot more to picture that I remembered.
Tony and Chelsea...you are the BEST! Your book has become my photography bible! 7 hours of video are absolutely priceless. Can't wait to get to the point where I feel my work is 'worthy' of submitting. LOL! Thanks again!
I recently bought a red Nikon D5300 and found your RU-vid so helpful, I already ordered your book from Amazon! I have had my camera a couple of weeks now, so high time to refine my use for work and one of my passions (avid photographer here). I'll be subscribing shortly, thank you!
Tony Northrup Got the book, technically yesterday - E X C E L L E N T! I'll be watching your RU-vid again, also refer to it, as I work through the book. After watching your RU-vid, I took shots on my local property hike (our 5.1 acres & adjoining properties I hike with permission) as well as a hike to Dungeness Spit (Strait of Juan De Fuca). I'll be registering my book in the afternoon. While previewing my shots after I perused your book, I found myself more critical and wondering what you & Chelsea would think of some of them.
I'm only halfway through your tutorial and I've already learned more than in the past week since I bought the D5300. This is a great resource and I'm looking forward to learning more. Thanks!
had a photo shoot tomorrow, got friends D5300 as a backup, as I never used Nikon previously wanted to know about its control and this was perfect video for me to know about all the buttons, cheers
Thanks Tony and Chelsea, I think this video is great for me as a beginner in photography. I thought I was only going to be using the camera on Auto mode until you explained how much this magnificent piece of equipment can do.Once again, thank you.
I recently ordered my D5300 expected to come in the next couple of days. And I really appreciate this video the amount of detail and knowledge you are sharing to people is great. Awesomely video. Keep it up! Rahim.
Just getting into a DSLR camera for the first time. Just ordered a D5300 and was looking at RU-vid for reviews and found this video. I have used film SLR cameras in the past but a lot of the techniques have slipped my mind so I just ordered your paperback book you recommended in this video.
My wife and I found your video tutorial to be very informative and are in the process deciding on purchasing the Nikon D5300. Can't wait to view more of you materials.
I wish I had watched this before my trip across the country and the National Parks. Easy to understand. You have a great way of presenting information. I am a subscriber now. Thank you!
Tony Thanks a lot for that wonderful video. You covered almost entire camera manual in just one video. I am buying this camera specifically for video and ofcourse once in a while for photos for semi-professional use. Your video helped me a lot. Great Job !!
just got my d 5300 hundred today and was looking for a tutorial and i saw your video i love it. planning to use my camera both for photography and video really appreciate your video. now for the books.yay!!!
Great video. I just bought the D5300 & 18-55mm lens. Got a great price on Amazon, about $1000 with a 16GB SD card. Not bad. This video taught me just about everything I need to get going in one sitting. I live in NYC and there's just so much to shoot I had to get a decent camera. I wish all videos were as well done as this. Not overly explained & no talking just to hear yourself. Thanks a lot for the help. I'll definitely be getting the book as well.
Hi Tony, Bought your book Stunning Digital Photography and it's amazing. I can't believe it also included this - an instructional video on my first DSLR camera! Thanks for all the work you put in. I'd recommend the book to anyone as it's a first-class course on photography. It's taking me as a relative beginner on an incredible photography journey that I don't believe I'd get at any university. Thank you!
Best video tutorial I've see on this camera! My husband just bought me the 5300, so I am a complete newb. Will be following your other videos and getting your book now!
Thank you so much for this video. I learn much better by someone showing me how to do something instead of reading. I have this camera and I use a 50mm for food photography. Hopefully my pictures will get better now. You've even convinced me to take a look at your book. Thank you!
This video was a great help! I just purchased the Nikon 5300 (up from a Canon Rebel T5), I was aware of everything it did from the description when I was researching what to buy, but had no idea how to use them all. Thank you for making this video! Next purchase, your book.
Great presentation! I just got a d5300 this week, and hadn't located the vibration reduction control yet. Since I had significant hand tremors from a neurological condition (I ALWAYS carry a tripod!), this will be an important feature for me.
Tony, you're the greatest. I decided to upgrade from the Nikon 3300 to the 5300 based upon your (implied) comparison. I guess that's how much I trust the observations you give and the trust I put in them. Thanks very much. Tomorrow I'm going out to shoot the interior of a cathedral. A great exercise in manual mode!
