dumb question, sorry

[tab]

I just bought a Nikon D80 yesterday and am trying to get the lcd to stay on while I am taking the picture. Any idea how to do that. I have only got to play around with for about an hour or so.

You can't use the LCD to frame the picture. It's a feature of the SLR design.

Actually some of us that are new like it when some people ask dumb questions...makes us feel like we aren't the only ones with dumb questions in our heads!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the forum, Tab! And you know , the only dumb question is the one you didn't ask! I understand your feeling, it is a HUGE adjustment to go from point/shoot to dSLR!!I just got my first, a Canon10D. No you cannot look at the lcd while shooting... this is a PRO camera, and you have to get used to shooting like a pro, thinking like a pro, and composing like a pro. The best of luck to you!!

Thank you for all of your help! I was messing around a little bit more last night so hopefully I will get some good picts. i also have a Nikon s4 (point and shoot) so it's a little bit of an adjustment but I am so excited to have the d80... I just have to figure out all of the features....
