D7100 Quick Set up Quick & full overview

[@charlesreid9337]

This was incredibly helpful. Only paid $300 for my at 2024 it blows me away the quality gear you can get cheap now

[@BramHarmsen]

Yeah, very helpful indeed. I'm in the same boat, just bought one yesterday as well. I think I got quite lucky, paid 200 euro for a 9000 clicks D7100 with a sigma 17-70 2.8 lens. The catch was that everything else was missing, no box, manual, charger, cables, lens covers etc. Just the body, strap, SD card, battery and lens. Still a pretty good deal I think.

[@patrol681]

As usual Matt, one of the best Camera Tutorials out there. You cover all details in an informal, well easy to understand manner. First Class.!! Thanks for sharing this information.

[@lokatpic]

I like the way you say. Take time and learn the camera. It is really out of this world. But I love the focusing system. There is so much to learn on it. Thanks again

[@sumangalarajapakse]

Recently I too purchased a Nikon D 7100 DSLR Camera from Nikon Sri Lanka Main Business Centre, Colombo 3. This video is really useful to the Enthusiast. Very clear descriptions. Thank you very much for sharing this valuable knowledge to us.

[@kaelanakvik6313]

I dont understand why every camera out there cant have this kind of review, I think it would really help out beginners/people wanting to know exactly what a certain camera can do. You would think the manufacturers would want to have this kind thing out there because nobody wants to read the manual anyway. New trend maybe? Keep up the good work matt!

[@aroldfut]

Great video for helping me get started with my new D7100. As always, nothing but usable information in your videos. Thanks Matt!

[@rapmasterps]

Just bought the D7200 virtually the same set up so your Video on the D7100 was worth watching. In fact ive watched it 3 times now just to get used to the features and menu's . I chose the 7200 over the 7100 due to the fact of being new to the photography world. Might as well get the ( at the time ) latest gear. Love the new 7200 cant wait to get out in the field with it . Thanks for sharing your knowledge Matt really appreciate it.

[@Rivenworld]

Superb tutorial, thank you, I have watched a lot of tutorials on this camera but this one is the most concise and by far the best. Appreciated.

[@RobertKingofMaine]

Good job on the review. You have a lot of information here. Just rented D800E, D610 and D7100. Tried this D7100 first. And at the end of the week, I am buying a D7100 with grip. I love this camera and the price has a lot to do with that. Clean files, no AA filter, extra reach with 1.3! And I love that quite shutter. Beautiful!

[@RobertKingofMaine]

quiet

[@unapro3]

Robert King I didn't say anything....

[@MrPedrofoto]

Matt. Thanks again for the video. Bought this beauty last year and simply love the camera. Using it for photos supplied to fishing magazines...quality is superb, especially when coupled with quality glass.

[@walterwiniana]

I just purchased a D7100 after having a D90 for years, and you explained to me where the Auto Focus Modes, I did have trouble finding how to select modes, so thank you. Also, there were other features of the camera i didn't know about, thanks again.

[@Juantouch123]

If you don't know, learn ok, keep learning. If you still don't know ask Donald Trump.

[@SL1800]

I have owned my D7100 for a month now, I love it and thanks for the informative video.

[@spikesflix]

Purchased a D7100 today. Great tutorial - many thanks.

[@PrzemysawIskra]

Can I just say, without hating or anything, that Active D-Lighting does change raw files? It does so indirectly. When the camera detects many bright parts in the picture; in A mode it increases the shutter speed - to bring the brights down to the recognizable values. That darkens the raw files, which means more noise in the shadows. In S mode it closes the aperture a little bit, but nobody uses that! Thanks for the video.

[@davidgill8922]

Good Work Matt. I'm on the fence regarding this camera, seeing the nuts and bolts regarding interface is outstanding. Does anyone else find box opening videos and, "sniff tests" obnoxious too? Matt, I'm glad you do what you do

[@pete37038]

Great Vid, thanks Matt, had the 7100 for 2 weeks now, took away on Holiday and I've learned quite a bit off this vid, your job has been worthwhile, subscribed, keep up the good work dude

[@tapazzandjazz]

Great camera . And yes that lock on the rotary knob was no need . Very good video.

[@mattgranger]

no hate taken buddy - thanks for sharing your view/insight.

[@TheJbraziel]

Great job! Thanks. Buying a 7100 this week & this was of tremendous value.

[@Zero1Zero1]

A proper menu run through! Thank you. I've only used Sony bodies before and this looks right up my street. Going to be a few years before I upgrade, but will definitely be looking at Nikon next time

[@fpvdave]

Thanks Matt, I have even picked up information for the D7000 that I hadn't got around to using.

[@PinoyFarmerChannel]

thank you so much.. I learned a lot from you. watching from Philippines. 🇵🇭

[@kaleb_airgunner]

Nikon D7000 was amazing but this one is so much better!

[@MzChrisyKK]

This vid helped me a lot! Thanks for taking the time to go through the buttons! Was easy to follow you and set up my camera at the same time! Wonderful! Excited to head out with my D7100!

[@Oygn11]

This was really helpful. I haven't bought the camera yet, but I wanted to see all the features that the camera has. I can't wait to dig in when I finally buy it. Thank you!

[@ninebar69]

Two gripes with the 7100, I came to this body from a D200, and two things I wish were different, 1. dedicated ISO button on top of camera rather than behind the camera, 2. Display ISO & Frames remaining together on top LCD display. Granted the top LCD on the 7100 is smaller, but would have been nice.

[@Morsoth]

Thank you very much! I've read the entire user guide today but this video is a great addition to it!

[@rodolfoalmeidaduran]

thank you Matt! i have just bought the D7100 and your video gives a very clear aperçu. Now, to try it and be knowledagable of each button 1

[@MychealJones]

Great tutorial Matt, one that I will place in my favorites. I still own the D7000, so this video was informative as I was able to recap on things I knew and learn something new also.

[@adweet6691]

Loved the video. Thank you so much for making it and explaining things systematically!

[@captmikea320]

2. @ 06:20 Not required to "hold in" the quality button for adjustments of the front/rear command dials. In the menu setup the buttons can be set to "push for on/push for off"

[@ChrisAstro]

The new D7100 is quite expensive. So I bought a D7000 used(Way cheaper. Around more than half the price). Can't wait to use it. :)

[@BoldtCave]

I have the opposite exposure adjustment with Active D on my 7100. It will either lower the shutter to bring out detail in dark places or, if you have Auto ISO turned on, it will leave the shutter the same but increase the ISO to bring out detail. I'm not seeing it make adjustments for bright spots. So... yes, Active D does affect the RAW file indirectly because it changes the exposure triangle (without really telling you)... but, no, it doesn't record any JPEG adjustment tricks to the RAW file.

[@overclock1993]

1.3x crop mode give you more reach zoom range, for example: you have 35mm lens on DX (1.5x crop) format it mean 35mm x 1.5 ~= 50mm, on 1.3x crop mode -> 35mm x 1.5 x 1.3 ~= 70mm. And you have 7fps continuous shooting but your image side will down to 18mp instead 24mp on DX mode. sr my english.

[@Dave196989]

Nice video and thanks so much Matt for all the knowledge you share with us.Dave

[@UnderConstructionejab]

Thank you for such a greatly detailed video. I just bought mine tonight. 05/17/2016.

[@bern2020]

Thanks, your info really helped me to get started. Saved a bunch of time reading the manual. I'll still read it, but this is a bit of a head start.

[@omaraltamari]

Best review I've seen for this camera, you're awesome man

[@SteveWebster376]

G'day Matt, thanks for this, I have just bought one, this being my first D-SLR and your vid is very informative. I'll need to watch it a couple of times and, of course, pause it often!

[@dbsshadow]

just got me this camera , looking forward to learning how to take good pics!

[@caballeroPL]

I have this camera. It's fantastic. The only thing I don't like is the placement of the ISO button and that you can't use your Fn button as an ISO button.

[@altomar718]

Great video and thanks for taking the time to do it for us

[@yasmineleroy5015]

hi Matt quick setup on D7100 is extremely useful I will go through this video again in slow motion I would like to know every feature on this camera soon will be going on a night shoot soon can you suggest which lens to use and settings?

[@markbrown4446]

Great incredibly helpful video for a first time D 7100 user!

[@TheRibtickler23]

can you make video showing set up d7100 for back button focus and decoupling the shutter button

[@TaffytheGreyhound]

if you have the money, D7100! I don't regret it :) Get a 35mm 1.8 if you need a lense.

[@mikeymarmalade]

I bought one today to replace my D90. Thanks for the tips.

[@willford8475]

Why is the word 'format' stamped in red on the case in two places? It'll take me weeks to get used to this camera! Excellent video.

[@Waydenz271]

Matt, Thank you for this Video Ive been looking at moving up in DLSR's an this has helped me out a lot thank you for taking the time to help an show us =)

[@lifeguardryan2393]

i just got this the Nikon D7100 Today Feb 20 2015 an this video help me a bit well i have the books on stuff

[@johnconnolly3782]

Good summary for how to set up your D7100.

[@captmikea320]

1.@ 02:53 Important to know that the button located on the AF/M switch does not have to be held in while rotating the front or rear command dials. In the set up menu you can opt to have the button presses as a press for on.press for off instead.

[@bigdhav]

Matt Granger Fantastic video! Thank you!

[@wgracey]

Thanks, Matt. That was very helpful, and I appreciate it.

[@DWKit22]

Hello, Matt. Wonderful tutorial. I bought the D7100 yesterday and have been watching your video ever since. One thing... The very first button yo talk about, the one with the spark on it, when I press it it does NOT pop the flash unit up. Can yo tell me why yours does and mine does not please ?

[@Victorkapz]

Is the camera on? Lol

[@DWKit22]

Victorkapz

[@DWKit22]

Yes... but the battery was flat LOL

[@nelsonjcloudy]

Very good job, clear. concise, thanks

[@caymanguy123]

I bought one today

[@petaferris3318]

Hi Matt, have just purchased a Nikon 7100, your video was great thanks for that. I have a question on a couple of settings you went to I am getting a message that says: This option is not available at current settings or in the camera's current state. Is there something I haven't done when setting the camera up?

[@doglovingman]

Peta Ferris In my humble opinion, the only shooting mode that allows you FULL control over all the settings is the manual (M) one: maybe you should try to rotate the shooting mode dial to M. I hope this is of help. Good light and the best of luck!

[@pecarew2003]

Good review, Matt, yet the one feature I really wanted explained, that you didn't even mention, was the digital rangefinder feature ... signed, failing eyes want to know!

[@egbertlau2562]

Excellent video for beginners like me.

[@clarencenewby716]

I want this camera but I guess I'll keep my d5200 a while longer, seems a bit complicated. Very good video though.

[@hZtixDE]

Finally I have a expensive camera so I can watch reviews from famous people ;D

[@judmcc]

Matt, great, but the "e" in "Adobe" is not silent.

[@owenjones-wells9395]

great video, very helpful for myself about to buy this camera, upgrading from D3100. could the AE-L AF-L button be used as the focus button. I cannot use the shutter button to focus with, just too unnatural.

[@doglovingman]

Owen Jones-Wells I did the same story (including upgrade from D3100 to D7100) and it helps me a lot. Recipe: Custom Settings Menu (the third tab on the left vertical) -> f Controls -> f4 Assign AE-L/AF-L button -> Press: AF-ON -> OK. I hope this helps. Good light and best of luck!

[@CezarCociorba]

Great guide sir! Just great to see everything. Thank you

[@jmpianoboy]

Thanks Matt, Just picked up this body because I'm interested in wedding photography and thought it was a great value body without breaking the bank. So far I have the 50mm 1.8 prime and the 24-70mm VR 3.5-4-5. My question to you is, should I invest my money in primes or should I go for fast zooms? Thanks again for your knowledge.

[@trevspeaks3]

Thanks for this vid. Great review!!! I shoot canon but a friend has this model Nikon. I've shot with it. Its a great camera especially at this price. After watching this I feel like an expert. Lol. I'll have to show him how to use his own camera. Thank again.

[@mistercrimp]

Please do a similar video for the D7200 please?

[@yuranideuht1261]

imho There's such a minute difference between a D7100 and D7200 in terms of controls/features if you know one, you know both. The only possible exception would be the Wireless stuff which (imho) hardly merits it's own video. Do enjoy!

[@patrickstatler6103]

Great video Matt! Ok, I am an amateur photographer who has purchased a good camera and did not bother to read anything. I already had a Nikon that was older and I did not have to format my SC cards. I wish I had watched your great overview first before starting to shoot. I did not format my SD card before I shot a whole bunch of great photos! How can I get my photos off of my card that was not formatted? Is all lost?

[@sparkymarkm322]

Great tutorial, thanks Matt

[@userblaz]

hey Matt thanks for your videos, very helpful. I just bought a d7100 and I find it very satisfying for now as a beginner.. I would appreciate your suggestion regarding buying lenses. I'm considering a prime lens as my first lens outside the kit one. What do you recomend in general for DX crop cameras? To buy a DX lens or go for a FX lens? I heard that in some cases you might get better results with a DX lens than FX on a DX body and generally for much less money. What is your opinion on this? Also which lens you think is the best for the d7100 from these (nikkor 85mm 1.4G, nikkor 85mm 1.8G, nikkor 50mm 1.4D, nikkor 50mm 1.4G or nikkor 50mm 1.8G).. also some other lenses like Sigma, Tokina or Tamron are an option.. thanks

[@texaggie1985]

Thanks Matt - awesome tutorial, very helpful!

[@JoEtsu1989]

Matt--Any chance you could do an equally comprehensive set up of the Panasonic GH3 on one of your other sites? There are some videos on this subject already, but they are aimed at more knowledgeable users. I really like the methodical step-by-step way you have approached this, and it is something the GH3 gurus could learn from.

[@markhanson906]

great tutorial as always...i use this camera with a tamron 70-300 vc formidable pairing !!

[@gavincua7795]

Hello matt I love the tutorial :D I would just like to ask what kind of external mic would be best for this camera when shooting a video outdoors thank you :D ps Im a noob to all of these haha

[@davidabbs4459]

Just got this camera, this tutorial was great, thanks :)

[@RedDevilsGaming]

I'm looking to get this camera to do car photography (pictures and video) Is this any good for that??? also I'm not experienced enough to understand most of the buttons I'm kind of a beginner

[@mehreabeyene5583]

Thank you! I enjoyed watching your Vide footage.

[@JairoRojasPhotoStories]

It's an amazing camera.. Great video

[@TaffytheGreyhound]

Tiny bit I think, depends on the lense. But your effective focal length changes dramatically :)

[@NikolajHoelgaard]

I have a little problem. When i take a photo it looks totally different than on the LCD/Live View. It is much darker. Moving up from a 600d i don't really understand this camera so well yet :)

[@sathyapramodhhb1674]

hello sir can you please share some info on live view exposure prview on D7200 which happens to be not working properly on my new D7200. thank you.

[@maeu59]

Do you you think it’s worth moving on to the new Z 50 from the 7100.

[@chrisquarnberg4880]

Great help, thanks. I have lots to learn

[@GigiMetanoya]

hi, thanks for uploading, i can not choose from 1920x1080;30p to 50i or 60 i, it is Grey by me, why? i really would appreciate if you could tell me how i can choose it... i did something wrong, because before i played around i could choose the Option 50i and 60i

[@JoeSchmoeLivesHere]

Hi ... Did you get this issue sorted out? If so, awesome! If not, post a note and I'll be happy to try to help sort it out for you. btw .. If all else fails simply do a factory reset to get back to square one. Enjoy!

[@lemi1214]

Cool man! Thanks

[@mrlennybruce]

Hi Matt, very helpful video. I'm thinking of getting this camera, could you help with some advice on the lenses? I'm thinking Tamron or Sigma 17-50 (with Image Stabilisation), but I'm hearing that these lenses get very noisy while shooting video (with the image stabilisation turned on). I'm also thinking of Sigma 10-20 f3.5. And I also need a super telephoto zoom, but I don't know which route to go. Help?

[@thomasmcdermott9522]

hi Matt great video i have recently purchased Nikon d7100 and i am having trouble with setting up back button focusing i went into menu-- then custom setting menu --controls---assign AE-L/AF-L button --then AF-ON .but no luck ,do you think there is something wrong with my camera ?its driving me crazy, TOM

[@kevinhoward7237]

+Thomas Mcdermott Hi Tom, I recently purchased a D7200 and I think the software and menu systems are the same. I've enabled back button focus on mine by doing what you describe, however I also had to customise Shutter release button to release only mode on not AF.

[@thomasmcdermott9522]

+Kevin Howard Hi Kevin thanks for your reply i have tried it but it does not work on the d7100 i think there are some things different from the d7100 and the d7200 still trying to get it right regards Tom

[@DreTrades]

this camera came out right after I got my d7000. oh well, I probably would of still brought the d7000

[@philj212]

i'm really torn between those two cameras! the d7000 is really cheap now but the shiny new d7100 is really tempting:P are you happy with the d7000 so far?

[@DreTrades]

I love the d7000, but I would like the 24 mega pixels and upgraded video options that the 7100 offers. But you can't go wrong with the d7000 is your just looking to capture great images

[@jazzman1626]

Mine is on its way 😀.

[@TheQiust]

Hello, Matt. I consider buying a new camera, which should I choose, Nikon D7000 or D7100?

[@elibirkholtz7860]

My AF/M button doesn't give me the option to change my mode, any ideas?

[@jonoc5]

Sort of, yes, but a camera with better specifications will make a number of different types of photographs considerably easier to take.

[@sajidnoor100]

nice i love this camera but very excpenseve

[@druidsflame]

Great video Matt, I just picked one of these up and this will help me immensely! The only question I have left is how does the bracketing button work? I have never had a camera with one :(

[@mreastwood1]

Nice! Wish you did one like this on my D600.

[@GoodMemoriesToRemeber]

is this 7100 be able to do high speed to have slow motion video ? great video, thx

[@BurnedMeatloaf]

+Got DJi Phantom if you use the crop mode on video, you can select 60i, 1920x1080 which is HD,

[@13amse]

Great review! But I stick with my D300. Its not the camera that limits the photography, its the one behind the camera.

[@karmasherpa.22]

I need help , what’s the best price in 2023 D7100 ?

[@vyacheslavyevseyev5235]

On my previous Nikon D5300, I could browse images using the wheel, along with the navipad, in the playback view. And this seemed to be practical sometimes However, on my Nikon 7100 this option does not seem to be the default setting. How can I get the camera to use the back wheel for browsing the images?
