Can you record with the Nikon Remote control?

For example can I press the button on the Nikon remote/control and then my dslr will start recording and if I press it again it will stop recording? By the way my Nikon is the Nikon D3200, great camera for a beginner.

White balance on NikonD40?

I have a friend who has a Nikon D40. He is trying to take pictures of his reef aquarium, but everything is coming out really blue! I've looked into this, and it seems like the problem is that he needs to adjust his "white balance," but I'm having trouble explaining it to him without being there. He tried to adjust his white balance by taping a piece of paper to the aquarium and taking a picture, and it was saying, "not enough light." What can I do to help him with this problem?

Cheers, and thanks in advance.

Nikon D5100 - Have i made the right choice?

HI all after a long research in nikon & canon websites and thanks a lot to dpreview & kenrockwell i have narrowed down to Nikon D5100 ( though D5200 has some advanced feature its out of my budget) along with Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105 mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens & AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. I'm just a beginner and trying to learn the DSLR so am not that much into corner sharpness and all those technical stuffs all i need is a decent zoom with few special effects and image quality so guys do you think i have made the right choice or should i spend some more money to get D5200? Please help

Added (1). Thank you for the response, what about the lens shall i stick with Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105 mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens?

Essential/Helpful DSLR accesories for a beginner?

I'm finally buying my first DSLR, and I'm curious as to which accessories are most essential, what they are, what I absolutely need in order to shoot, and what's down the road.

I'm looking for any info--links to blog posts, a product on amazon, anything. Or just your opinion on what I need. I have absolutely nothing except photoshop, my Nikon d3100, and the kit lens 18-55mm it came with.

Nikon d3200 problems? - 1

I just bought a Nikon d3200. The camera seems to work great i'm just having two problems. I got two lens's and the 55-200mm lens won't work, when I try to use it it says no lens attached even though it is (properly), and also I got a speedlight but I can't get it to slide on, This is my first dslr so i'm not sure if its me or the items

any info/advice would be appreciated!

Additional Details

I also got a 18-55mm lens and it works perfectly fine.

I was playing with it some more and with the 55-200mm lens it will allow me to take photo's in manual without the pop up flash, but in auto it still says no lens attached?

also for the d3200 is it normal for it to fall asleep fairly fast?

sorry if these are stupid questions, i'm a first time user
