How do I use the LCD to take pictures of the D3000?
I just got the camera and let me know if you have to use the viewfinder or you can also use the LCD screen to see the photo of her going to take (live action). I realize the LCD screen is used to view the pictures after taking them, but I hoped it would help w / pictures in real time (Some photos I take stills, this would be helpful.) If anyone knows how to do this I apprecitate step / step instructions (could not find in the manual) Thanks
You can not. The D3000 does not have live view.
