Top 5 Settings To Change On The Nikon D7200

[@sumitchaudhuri]

Crisp and clear english....no accents ...easy for us Indians to follow... succinct content....overall great

[@GoneToHelenBach]

AF-S is 'single focus', AF-C is 'continuous focus', also, it would have been better to hit the Info button, rather than using Live View, for the purpose of demonstrating these adjustments. Two more settings that I would consider to be very important and should definitely be on any list of 'Settings to change on the Nikon D7200', would be (1) to assign the AE-L/AF-L button to 'Auto On' so focusing and shooting have separate buttons, rather than having to half-press the shutter button to focus (2) to assign the Movie Record button to 'ISO', so that you don't have to use that ridiculously-placed ISO button on the back of the camera. With these two changes, you can focus and recompose without switching out of continuous focus and also adjust ISO settings without involving your left hand at all. I hope these suggestions are helpful.

[@skinnyl]

Very helpful, thanks. Had totally missed the option of reassigning the rec button. Now I can adjust ISO and have easy exposure comp on.

Excellent tutorial for the D7200. It's 2021 I have moved to the Z50 from the D600 and D3400, but have just bought myself a D7200!

[@joelnanda5699]

Thank you so much, after 8yrs today i have watched this important video from you! Am from Tanzania

[@prowlerphotography6028]

I shoot exclusively in RAW, and this is fine for transmitting photos to a phone, as I believe Nikon's app automatically converts it when downloading to the phone.

[@jonasvohrna]

Me too.

[@BrianKongXD]

True

[@sumitchaudhuri]

Absolutely correct

[@andyandycapt7947]

Great little camera, it was the last crop camera I bought before full frame and im eyeing the d500 now but I use my 7200 for all my macro stuff and birds when I do that. It shoots great with fx lenses which is all I’ve ever bought so when I went to start buying fx cameras I had a pretty good collection of fx lenses already. There aren’t too many stand out dx ones out there but a handful.

[@kingcidtravels4621]

I really liked your short tutorial and I will give it a try to the settings mentioned here. I was wondering if you have any tutorial for the Nikon Coolpix P1000. Thank you

[@JayPoel]

As @GotToHelenBach mentions below, for viewfinder photography, AF-S is SINGLE servo mode - it locks focus with each half-shutter button press. AF-A is a semi-auto mode that locks focus like AF-S BUT if detects movement of the subject forward or backwards it will switch to AF-C mode and track the subject until it is stationary or you release the shutter. For liveview photography the choices are AF-S (single-servo AF) and AF-F (full-time servo AF). See page 83 and 84 of your D7200 manual.

[@Nimesus]

AF-F?? You mean AF-C right?

[@JayPoel]

No ... I said exactly what I meant. From the manual .... page 84. download.nikonimglib.com/archive2/BLXYI00h4qaR01fiDuZ53t0rd756/D7200UM_NT(En)02.pdf

[@marwatkhan2254]

hello Jerad i hv seen so many videos but thats all were helpless, You give me more information thanks

[@OldFellaDave]

Shooting RAW + Jpeg seriously kills your buffer/shooting speed - be aware if you are shooting sports/fast action and running Burst mode ;) I learnt that the hard way :)

[@jeradcamera]

+David Read You are right. Fast cards help, but can only be written to as fast as the camera is capable of.

[@crxracer805]

What about RAw + JPEG small?

[@nerdMike]

@@crxracer805 I use raw+jpeg with dual card only when I have to pult the card into a pc at the moment and use my photo directly. So I don't need PP, otherwise is useless, even with backup purpose.

[@abdullahilkafi5380]

so, what should i do if i want to keep both jpeg and raw?

[@karloshaz9847]

Great video for us weekend photographers

[@PeterCphotos]

Nice tutorial. You did not put the link in for back button focus

[@MrD2108]

Picture Control settings apply only to your JPEG preview, so if you set camera to shoot RAW, pictures was always had flat profile as you want it to be. You can also set the OK button in menu section f1 to make quick zoom on the preview of your photo so you dont need to click magnifying button multiple times. I hope that this help someone ;)

[@jeradcamera]

+MrD2108 Yes, but it does apply them to jpg images created by the camera so if you shoot RAW + Jpg like I do, you may want to shut it off.

[@budbird2499]

[@Shirley0850]

Thanks for the tip.

[@smasanomas]

Holy shit, that zoom OK button tip is brilliant - I've got a couple fully manual lenses, and sometimes focusing by zooming in with live view to make sure it's perfectly sharp is exactly what I need. Great tip, I hate smashing the magnifying button until I'm close enough.

[@adamplays6830]

Active D-Lighting does not affect RAWs. It affecs jpgs only so it is worth to have it always on becasue you do not edit jpegs, you edit raws. and when you need a photo w/o editing you have jpg with active d-lighting which works really fine. thanks for a video.

great tutorial ive never used my d7200 because it looks so complicated and ive only used af

[@MarioHernandez03]

Unfortunately, my D7200 is at the shop right now, it has had a few rough days. I will try the back button focus tip as soon as I get it back. That seems to be very handy and I've had the need for it before. I have tried some of the things you said here. Me too, the first thing I did when I get any new camera is to turn off the beep, I hate it on any camera, even my phone camera.

Hi jerad nice tips,can you help me with this i got a good price for the D7200 but is has 59000 shutter count on it,is that to much or is it still good?thank you.

[@zeliglui6656]

Good tips for sure. May I ask for your recommendation for lens as I find the kit lens 18-140 is not as sharp as I like even though it is good for the price. Many thanks.

[@Nimesus]

Kit lenses tend to do that. What kind of shooting do you predominately prefer? Nikon has a 70-300mm (f3.5/5.6G) while not super fast is very sharp for less than ~$400. They make more than one and the VR1 version is the one to which I refer. 50mm f1.8 (G Series) is a nice prime at the other end of the spectrum for a little over $200. Just two of *many* great Nikon lenses.

[@mikejay7771]

I have a question, what is the software version? what I mean is that I cannot increase the frame rate to 50 or 60, I have these two options inactive.

Thanks, this is a great learning video. I am thinking of stepping up to a D7200 from a D90 which is an F-mount, will my D90 lens fit & work on a D7200 ?

[@SureshPillai2706]

Any lens which work on D 90 will work on D7200

[@kb6kgx]

Other than the new mirrorless "Z" camera, every Nikon SLR and DSLR ever built can accommodate ANY lens Nikon has ever made (yes, provided that they are "F"-mount lenses). The AF may or may not work, depending on whether or not your body has a built-in focus motor, which the D90 and D7xxx do have. The lower-level D3xxx and D5xxx do not have a built-in focus motor and, for those, you must use newer AF lenses which have the AF motor in the lens. The advantage of having the focus motor in the camera body is that you have the ability to use older (and, therefore, less expensive AF lenses).

[@johneratcliff]

Kohinoor Bhowmik 18-200 is a great all around lens. I bought mine used on Amazon for $325. Tack sharp.

[@ScottBeadenkopf]

Nikon 35 mm f 1.8 is inexpensive, good "standard" lens, equiv. to 50 mm on full frame. Great for nature, street, concerts. Very light and small. More expensive but good for events is Sigma 17-50 f2.8. Though I wish it went a little longer. Nikon 60 mm micro f 2.8 has been wonderful for me for macro photos. Very sharp and focuses very close. Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED for landscapes has been lovely, also. But not bright enough for night sky.

[@satyasai8105]

[@internationalunion3178]

[@juliocesarpereira4325]

Great tips. Some of them I already use, and some will surely be very useful. Since this camera has two card slots, I use one to store a photo on raw and another on jpeg mode. Be sure that the card on the 1st slot have more storage capacity. I wanted to move from a Nikon D7000 to a new one, for the sensors have evolved a great deal since then and went for a D7500. But I was disappointed to know that Nikon had taken out tree features I live very much, i.e. two card slots, preview of DOF and Non-CPU lens. The latter is my favorite, since I turns the camera fully compatible with manual AI lenses, and I have many of them.

[@current7286]

Hi man. Good and useful tips and info. But I need help a bit with understanding of active D-light and why you turning it of if you want the flat profile. I mean, if im not mistaken, D-Light lightens shadows and darkens highlights a bit. So basically makes lower contrast and therefor more flat picture. Isnt the point of flat profile to have flat picture with high dynamic range, and because of that have more room to work on in post production? Isnt Active D-Lighting made to increase cameras dynamic range? Hope someone gives me info and though on that. Ty

[@andresreyna4260]

Am I lame for wanting this camera as my 1st camera in 2019? It would be my very first camera period, going to be using it mainly for photographs. It's still between the Cannon t7i or this Nikon 7200. I would love to have an articulating screen but this Nikon's specs seem to be ahead of most cameras around this price (Under 1k). I understand the photographer makes the camera not the other way around but still. Any thoughts anbody??? Opinions & insight would be greatly appreciated.

[@truthseeker5890]

Well, this is the one that I've picked. It's a heavy/solid camera; that's first for me. Secondly, as you have mentioned, this camera is nicely equipped and now well under $1000. I would also like the rotating/articulating screen and the touchscreen but to get that, I lose other features that I want. For me (my position) the T7i is plastic junk; that's my position in regard to the Canon. I did study the D5600 but that is a smaller bodied camera; it is smaller (less of a camera) and I believe (from memory) there is no headphone jack on the D5600. Also, major for me, is the fact that the D5600 does not have an "autofocus motor"; for me, that's major. If I'm going to spend right at $1,000, I want something that I can notice in my hand; a heavier camera will also be much more stable to hold. The D500 is another consideration but that one is well over $1,000. Also, the older lenses will fit the 7200, so, use the older lenses with the 7200's "autofocus motor" or set it to manual and use the newer lenses (I'm still researching the lenses but I'm hoping that that will work)... diversity... many options; that's what I look for. Nothing is perfect; any particular item (whatever it is) is going to have issues that a person would like to change. However, for the money and for how it's spec'd, I think the 7200 is fabulous. Right now (today) I can buy the 7200 body, with two lenses, SD Card, battery, battery charger, USB Cable, Strap, and more... for under $900... brand new (Amazon)!!! If after a period of time, I discover that the lenses could be better... no problem; I have under $900 invested in a nice camera, along with several other items for the camera; at that point, I will simply start investing in specific lenses. That's my plan. So, there ya go; buy the 7200 and make a change at some point in the future. However, I think the 7200 is going to be great for a long time.

Good video. NOV 3 2017, got good deal on used D7200, used AF Micro Millor 55 f/2.8 and a new DX 35 f/1.8. Neve used any Nikon DSLR, set up all major cusotm settings (no manual in English) and got OK pics in bad office light with the 55mm. Nice. have 3 Pentax APSC bodies and 15 lenses cheap to expensive, lots of overlapping FL. WIll be trading 2 bodies and hald the lenses in, taking the loss. I like what I see so far an want antother lens or two and next year another Nikon body even also D750. Reason why is huge number of bad shots that are wide or deep city scape with soft faces - that is when I see a person close or mid distance and do everyrthing I can with the best Pentax CAF setting all AF points on and back-button, mostly get mushy faces. I surrender, Nikon seems my best choice. PS - holding on a an a6000 and a few decent low cost primes for APSC E-mount. SONY FE good glass and a new body too was just too expensive.
