Hi,

I am new to this part of the forum, I have a Nikon CoolPix L840 and have been lurking on the forum and asking questions on that camera for a little while now. I recently just upgraded to the D5300 (in fact just received it yesterday). I have a few questions that might save me time pouring over the manual.

First I bought this kit Nikon D5300 Digital SLR Camera 3 Lens Kit 18 55mm 32GB Amazing Value Bundle 018208015191 | eBay

Does anyone know why or how to change a setting to stop it from compressing the picture when it sends it over its wireless mode to my cell phone. If I take the card out and put it in a computer it is 6000X4000 but the file it sends to my phone is 1620x1080. It did this on my coolpix too but never figured out a fix.

Second it came with a wireless external flash - Where do I go to get it to connect to the camera

Third it also came with a wireless shutter remote - Same question how do I connect it to the camera when I want to use it.

(Sorry for the questions but the accessories came with no instructions.)

Lastly does anyone have any recommendations for additional accessories?

I have other questions on some of the accessories but I am not currently with the camera to ask what to do with them or where they go

It is always going to compress when it goes the the phone.. The wireless option is just for sending a quick pic to facebook or Instant message and not for serious work.

All your questions can be answered at Nikon | Download center | D5300

Also remember that this is a grey market camera and has no warranty. The flash is a no name flash so you will have to figure out how to use it.
