It is possible but as Ken said it's not the ideal way to go about it. I started off using a dslr but quickly became frustrated and now have a DMK but until then why not try and get the best out of the neximiage, you will learn a lot more about the whole process and your equipment if you can suss it out.
There are some settings mentioned in this CN thread if it helps.
