image sensor on d5100

[rayho]

Hi

Hi I am new to this forum, my question is as follows, I had a d3000 and sold it and bought a
D5100 and what I would like to know is - the d3000 when you switched it off/on the image sensor cleaning words would show that it was working but on the D5100 it does not show is this normal ? Thank you for your replies

You can adjust the automatic sensor cleaning setting in the setup menu.

Hi thank you for the reply, I have reset the sensor image cleaner to clean when going off/on and it still does not show it is doing it the way the D3000 shows you, do you think it is not suppose to show me ?

It may not show it on the screen: you will find that the camera "buzzes" or "vibrates" when it happens.

When in doubt ..... check the manual.

Hi sorry to be a nuisance but I have checked with the manual and it does not say anything about if it should show it when it is switched off/on. I have also listened and had hold of the camera to feel it vibrate or if it buzzes but nothing happens, is there anyone with a D5100 who can tell me if this normal or do i need to do something else. Thank you once again for all your replies

It is normal. I know exactly what you mean. The Nikon D60 (my first body) was like that. Everytime I was turning it off there was a screen saying the sensor was beeing cleaned.

I don't get that message when I turn off my D90. And you know what, I not even sure it physically does it everytime I'm turning off my camera. Do be bothered by those things. It's not a malfunction. It's the way Nikon designed the camera.

Hi Shokinen thank you for your reply I am happy it is normal and not a malfunction it gives me peace of mind and now I can start to learn more about the camera functions and not worry about the cleanig sensor. Thank you once more and maybe one day I can help you
