It advertises it will work on a D5000 but I can't get it to work. No instructions. Can someone explain the steps to make it work?

change the battery and try it again, and the battery has to be the same model

Make sure it has a battery first and then you need to change the setting on your camera from a single shot to the remote. Then it should work.

I was thinking it was something else which was a rip-0ff.. The FotoTech worked fine right out of the package on my Nikon D3200. Check to make sure the battery is good. I did not have to do any setup. I have not tried it from the front;;I used it from behind the camera.

I thought mine didn't work but I realized I had not correctly dialed the camera to remote operation. There is also a setting in the camera that I had properly set but my own inexperience with my camera was the error.

I can not get mine to work either. No instructions with this one either. Looks like a rip-off.

If you already went to the shooters menu on your camera and set it to quick real ease then it's the battery or it's a bad one.

I'm surprised, I would have thought that would work, especially with the D7000. Sorry, I guess I can't help with this one. Good luck!

Hello. I'm not an expert, but it should work because I use it on my D7000 and it works perfectly.

I have the same problem. I do not know how it works with Nikon D5200... Someone knows how it works?

I have the Nikon d32 and d7000 And it works on both of them, so it should work on the 5000 if it has a mic port on the side near the hdmi and AV port.

According to Nikon, it will. I do not have a D5000, so have no personal experience.

I own only the D5000 so I can not test directly,,, but I believe this lens will fit do to a most important adapter that comes with this lens in the box... The primary lens [500mm] is a screw type and with the adapter added,,, it than mates with my D5000 with the twist and lock bayonet mount style that Nikon routinely uses... This adapter makes this lens work on my D5000 and other models via electronic "manual mode" only... Again,,, I believe the interface used on Nikon cameras are all the same, but I have not physically tried them all, only the D5000... So just remember there is a physical mount question,,, and there is also a special electronic features questions that also needs to be examined too......

It will fit the D5000 but you will only be able to use it in manual (M) mode.

It works with my D5100 & D5200. I have not triyed live view, but I do not see why not?

Hello,I too was confused when I first bought that camera. especially after purchasing lenses for it and getting the wrong ones. This lens is not going to work with your camera. The camera is great but it doesn't have a focus motor in the actual camera itself. So, you have to make sure all the lenses you buy have a motor in them. They will say AF-S in the title. They are easily distinguishable by the buttons on the side of the lens (M/AF). Similar to the stock lens that comes with the D5000. Hope this helps !

Thank you for your interest in our package deal! In regards to your inquiry, this is compatible with the Nikon D5000.

It should work. Almost all Nikon SLRS, digital or non-digital, use the f-mount lenses. You should be able to use old and new lenses with the d5000. The only thing that won't work is the auto focus. I have the exact same lens using it with the d5100.

I'm not sure about the D90 but it does work on a D5000. I ordered the T2 adapter with it to make it adapt to the Nikon.

You could mount it with an adapter, however it did not work with Nikon D5000, even on complete manual settings. Resulting in fuzzy pictures. I still have it, as a useless accessory.

I wrote Tamron tech support about being compat with the D5000 and here is their reply:"Yes Sir, complete compatibility with any digital Nikon - Rob Moody Tamron USA"Larry Van Horn

It should. Works fine in D5000 charger - better than the stock battery and lasts longer. Get 2 - it's worth it.

I really have no idea, it works for Nikon D3100 .. I'll try to put some pictures here of the product so you can see it better .. Hey, I checked the box and it says it works for Nikon D5100, D3100, D7000, D5000, D90
