Hello /p/

A few days ago I bought a Nikon D3200 mainly because of the price tag. I just realized that Nikon doesn't support aperture simulation or live previewing.

Do you guys know of any way I could root the camera and add said feature? K Thnx

More like what Nikon intentionally removed / omitted to get their ~four tiers of camera bodies, each more expensive. Canon does it too.

I guess with Canon you can use the 3rd party CHDK that some cool people made - but the real solution is to buy Sony, Pentax, or others that do not fuck the software of the lower end cameras.

Or, of course most conveniently, you can do as Nikon / Canon want you to and buy the more expensive camera that has the software (and probably 2 extra buttons - like $0.25 extra in production) that you need. Yes, this really is the option most photographers seem to choose.

It's not software.

On Nikon lenses the aperture is closed with a mechanical lever.
For DoF preview you need an extra electric motor in the body.

No, how come older film cameras like the F3 I have has a DoF preview button? How come it works even without batteries?

Jewkon just rips low end cameras. At least the sensor is top notch.

Stopping down the lens used to be the only way to meter with some lenses. If you want to use pre ai lenses on an fe or f3 or whatever, you set the aperture and stop down with dof preview button to meter.
D3200 on the other hand is all sunny 16 and chimping with old manual lenses.

Now to your question OP. Use live view, retard.
