Nikon D5000: Cam is losing time setting

Sun, 18 Jun 2017 22:03:42 -0700

My Nikon D5000 is losing the time settings while changing the accu EN-EL9A.

Have someone a picture where this component is shown in the cam?

Nikon D5000: Why won't my live view open anymore?

Wed, 27 Oct 2021 17:41:03 -0700

I've had my Nikon D5000 for almost a year now, but just recently there's been a problem with my Live View Mode……everytime I press it, it displays pitch blackness in my LCD screen for about a second and then it goes out of Live View mode. Now, ever since the problem I can't even take pictures anymore. I have enough memory space and yes my lense cap was off but I don't quite understand what this problem is. Can someone please helppppp?
