I have a new nikon d5000. My problem was the first time i used my nikon d5000 i tried to shot an image then after shooting 15 times the camera stop shooting. I really don't know what is the reason why my camera stop shooting i tried pressing the button but i does'nt shoot.

* are you shooting using low shutter speed ?

On my D-90, the camera is set by default to store two images of each picture I shoot...raw(NEF) and JPEG Fine.

The raw image contains far more data than the JPEG image and is therefore the best to use when you want to do extensive detailed editing.

The JPEG image is used when you only want to do minor editing before publishing or sharing the picture.

JPEG images deteriorate quickly when subjected to editing while RAW or NEF images can handle many more editing steps before losing quality.

If you're shooting snapshots, you probably don't really care about extensive editing and you can save a lot of space on your memory card by changing your menu settings to store only one image of each shot.


To do that, go to the wrench icon in the menu then scroll to image quality. Click on "image Quality" and you will find multiple lines to set the camera to your preference. Choose the one you want.

It may be your exposure combination. The blur is because your shutter speed is too slow. You did not say what you are photographing at night and without that information, I can only speak in generalities. It all depends on the light source. If you are taking pictures of illuminated signs, auto exposure modes might work great, but if you are shooting incident light rather than pointing your camera at the light source, I would use a tripod and use manual exposure. Adjust your ISO to a high number. That will allow a faster shutter speed to stop motion.

It sounds as if your buffer is filling up. The buffer is where the camera temporarily stores images before writing them to the memory card.
If you're shooting RAW, try shooting JPEG and see whether you can shoot longer bursts. If so, it's definitely a buffer problem.
Another thing that will help with the buffer is to use a faster memory card. Use a SDHC card that's rated at least Class 6 (there will be a circle with a number inside marked on the front of the card).

Try re-installing the Nikon transfer software on your computer. Have you also just tried using the computer's image software to transfer images (or just copy and paste from the camera to the desktop)?

Depends on softweare what format the images are recorded as. If you are using JPG, then just about any software package can view them (Windows Picture Gallery, GIMP, Photoshop, etc.). If you are shooting RAW format, then you need software that allows viewing of RAW imahes. Your Nikon cd comes with such a program. You can also use DNG converter, Adobe Photoshop, Nikon Capture, and a host of others, Opanda makes a software that allows viewing the EXIF data for JPG images that ttells you the f-stop, shutter speed, and all other information, including how many times the shutter has been fired on that particular body. Other JPG softwware does essentially the same, but most without the number of shutter actuations.

For Nikon s6000 (altho this question is posted in D5000 section)
Hope you have read the instruction manual by now. In Auto mode, go through the menu to get the shooting mode - there are I think 2 different continous shooting modes for your camera - one standard and one sport (2 others but they either select the best shot of serveral or combine them to make the best shot). Pretty impressive. Don't look in the manual for 'burst' mode, it's called 'continuous'.

For D5000, menu and again shooting options.

You can convert RAW to JPEG with Nikon ViewNX, available at

Have you tried formatting the card in your camera? I have not experienced this issue, however had it happen on other cameras and it seem to do the trick. Formatting the card in the menu on the Nikon, goes as follows. Once on, push menu, then scroll to Setup Menu. The first option is Format memory card. I think this should be the fix for your issue. Also you may have purchased a defective card, unless you had been using it and it all of a sudden started doing this. You might also make sure it is seated in the slot, pushed in till it clicks. Hope this works? Good luck. Cheers.

In your custom settings no 15 Auto Timers you can set the time.
