Freakin 5700

Does anyone know how to use this camera? I can't even take snapshots with it, it HAS to be on a tripod or the pictures are ALWAYS blurry! And trying to take a picture with indoor lighting? FORGET IT! I wish I had never bought this thing

Odd. Something must be set, incorrectly. The 5700 has a reputation as one of the very best "prosumer" digital cameras (although it is starting to become a little dated). I wish I had one.

Look in the Nikon forum at dpreview.com and you will see many examples of breathtaking pictures made with 5700's. You would also be able to get plenty of detailed advice on how to use it.

Same here, I am new to digital cameras, especially to Nikon 5700 and I took some pics with indoor lighting and the pics were scrispy clear. Now taking pics with natural lighting like my backyard with lanscaping lights at night (no flash used) was tough. But a tripod took care of everything.

May be your flash didn't work or you accidentally set the shutter speed to too slow (in Shutter priority mode).
