Rear screen on D90

[John Davison]

Is there a way to use the rear screen instead of the viewfinder to compose a photograph prior to exposure?

Not on the D90. The Live View option was not offered until later. The D3xxx, D5xxx, and D7xxx models have it (but I think Not the one specific D3000).

My d90 has live view. Must be a later model.

The D90 has Live View... The above article describes it.

I see now that you're right, thanks. Page 43 of the D90 manual. D90 was introduced ten years ago, and did seem ahead of its time.

Got it!
Had one all along.
Thanks everyone.
Please do have a good laugh at my expense.

The D90 WAS a breakthrough for features, IQ, video as a DSLR first, Live View and was the first of Nikon(any brand) with a sensor that was essentially ISO'less so the noise was linearly proportional to the ISO. That meant someone could underexpose a few stops, for example when needing to freeze the subject by increasing shutter speed a few stops and end up with the same signal to noise ration when boosting exposure n post, that you would have gotten by exposing correctly at a slower shutter speed.
I still have the D90 and kit lens 18-105 and it has over 220,000 frames and in perfect condition. It actually had 1/2 stop better DR than the Crop flagship D300. I don't use it much but once in a while. My second camera for events is the D7000 which was also a groundbreaking camera at 16mpx with even better DR. My D800 has been flawless also and has 300,000 frames and although there is no logical reason to add another body, I have been feeling the urge. Maybe D850 or Z7.
