Why does the Nikon d50 have ntsc output, and video out capabilities?

Am I crazy or am I supposed to assume I can take video with my d50? Sorry if it sounds like an absured question : /

Answer by Dr. Sam
This is simply so you can show your photos on a TV screen. The D50 does not have video recording capabilities.

Answer by MixedMojo
No, you can’t take video with your D50, it’s only there to show a slide show of your pictures on a television. It’s not absurd, believe me, I thought the same thing until I read the owners manual cover to cover. I had been used to a 35mm SLR, so I had to bring myself up to speed on all the added ‘bells and whistles’.

The D50 isn’t spec for 4gb but I have heard they will work anyway.

Answer by Vex52
I think it will be okay. Try lowering the quality and size settings if you cannot use a large card.

Answer by Don
It will work but my computer didn’t recognize my camera when I tried it so I had to take the chip out of the camera to download pictures. Your camera will also give you incorrect info on space available on the chip.

Answer by Marcus
The D50 doesn’t support SDHC memory cards. but supposedly if you format a 4gb card elsewhere, the D50 will read and write to it… though it will refuse to format the card internally. I wouldn’t necessarily trust that, but it’s yours to use.

Try it, let us know, SDHC cards are pretty cheap

Answer by veito da costa
As it doesnt support HC, then you will experience problems.
Stay with 2gb cards only.

Hope this helps.
