Live View shooting with the new 2.7-inch Vari-angle monitor
Lens: AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED • Image quality: NEF (RAW) • Exposure: Shutter priority mode, 1/1600 second, f/5 • White balance: Flash • ISO sensitivity: 200 • Picture Control: Portrait
High angle
When composing through the optical viewfinder is not an option, try
Live View shooting via the 2.7-inch Vari-angle monitor. This crisp 230,000-dot monitor with 100% scene coverage gives you the freedom to hold the camera in a variety of positions, making it simple to shoot from dramatic and interesting new angles. Raise the D5000 high to shoot over crowds, or hold it close to the ground for a little
creature’s view of the world. Whatever perspective you choose, the Vari-angle monitor adjusts easily to accommodate your creative urges.
And when you’re finished shooting, the monitor can be tucked away
with the LCD panel facing the camera back — the perfect way to protect the monitor against scratches and other damage.
From up high, down low, or to the side, the Vari-angle monitor lets you 
create bold compositions using perspectives you never thought possible. 
Low angle
High-angle and low-angle shooting
High-angle shooting is when you hold the camera high, and is especially useful for shooting over obstacles such as a crowd or fence. Low-angle shooting is the opposite. Holding the camera close to the ground lets you shoot from unusual perspectives for photos with an enchanting and sometimes startling look.
D-Movie
This is Nikon’s digital movie shooting feature. D-Movie lets you take advantage of interchangeable lenses, one of the key benefits of SLR cameras. The wide variety of NIKKOR lenses gives you the tools to create movie clips with more dramatic visuals than conventional camcorders. D-Movie can also utilize Picture Control settings to create different moods.
