Hi guys,
I bought a Nikon D5200 last week with 15-55mm kit lens and 8GB class10 SDHC card with camera bag.
I have never used a DSLR before, but interested in enhancing my photography skills. Need your help with these questions (please don't laugh at these questions, I'm too new to DSLRs):
1) How do I charge the battery? Do I take it out, put in the external charger provided by Nikon, and then place back in the camera? Can't I charge the battery while it's still inside the camera? I can charge my point-and-shoot battery without removing it from the camera.
2) How to safeguard the lens? The front part of the lens is a fingerprint magnet.
3) Any must-buy accessories?
4) I'm currently shooting in Auto mode since I'm new at this. Will move to manual mode soon. The flash pops up every time I take a snap in Auto mode. Any way to turn off the flash without leaving the Auto mode?
5) How do I get Bokeh? I believe I need to set to 'Macro' setting (as told by a friend). Where do I find this?
