[@serarakavono9255]

Loved all this tutorials, just got a nikon d5200 which led me here :( 😊

[@photographersfreedom]

@serarakavono9255 great. Enjoy the camera. Thanks for watching. If you have any ideas for videos you'd like me to do about the d5200, let me know. 🙂

[@susan1870]

Thank you!!!! Painting is my thing and cameras not so much! Your step-by-step tutorial was perfect! Getting ready to photograph my art! Thank you

[@photographersfreedom]

Susan you are most welcome. Thank you for watching. 🙂

[@blackmamba3427]

Awesome video and tutorial 👌

[@photographersfreedom]

Thank you so much. 🙂

[@ChickOnRadio]

Barry, thank you for this video. I upgraded a couple years ago to a D750, so I needed a refresher so I can use my D5200 today in manual mode to shoot the Color Rush for charity.

ChickOnRadio, you are welcome. 🙂😉

Great video really helped me out :)

[@photographersfreedom]

Thanks Lucas. 🙂

[@Lee-haw]

thanks for the info i'v been trying to figure it out on my own but failed. should they made it simpler. i think this camera had a lot of limitations i mean it has a good quality image, but the controls isn't that intuitive. and why the live view mood is slow when taking pictures ? mostly useless unless for video

[@photographersfreedom]

Thanks for watching. The D5200 is considered an entry level camera so it is good for beginners. I think it goes a bit beyond entry level. It does have a lot of settings and takes a bit to learn. 🙂

[@Lee-haw]

@@photographersfreedom Aha , i see. i love it when taking pictures. but for video it isnt that good. indeed, it need time to learn. i need to upgrade soon. Thanks for your reply☺

[@carcamovmusic]

Hi!... I'm in manual mode... Is there any way to change aperture as I previsualize/take the photo. The "+/-" button + wheel action only works in the instance you show in the video (with all the info in the screen)... Regards!

[@photographersfreedom]

If I understand you correctly, you want to be able to see the depth of field you're producing while taking the photo? I'm afraid you can't do that with the D5200.

[@kuratashvili1]

thank you for the guide

[@photographersfreedom]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@ABRDigitalMedia]

Some time pics are not give the correct color can you please guide what setting we need to get a good result in the hall or room

[@photographersfreedom]

That is to do with your white balance setting. You can either leave the white balance on Auto or there are settings for Tungsten or Fluorescent globes. As long as you know the type of globes used in the particular room, you can set the white balance for the appropriate one. If you shoot RAW you can change the white balance later in Lightroom or whatever editing software you use.

Barry Callister I did subscribe primarily because i have the nikon d5200. I love space, birds and nature. Do you have any advice or videos i may have missed on taking pictures of celestial objects in space at night? comets, planets in particular

[@photographersfreedom]

@@kchilton27 thank you for subscribing. I don't actually have any videos about night/celestial photography. It's not a style of photography I've tried as yet. I hope to in the future.

[@kchilton27]

@@photographersfreedom thanks anyways. i'll figure it out!

[@robinline6117]

Hello, just started learning to use my Nikon D5200. I loved your aperture video and would like to download the PDF, but it is no longer there, any chance I can get it?

[@photographersfreedom]

Sorry about that Robin, I will look into that and get back to you. 🙂

[@photographersfreedom]

Hi Robin. I have fixed that link now, thank you for pointing that out. Are you on my mailing list? I would love to get you a copy of the PDF for free for helping point out that broken link. You can sign up here and get the PDF right to your inbox www.photographersfreedom.com/get/what-is-aperture-pdf/ Thanks again.

[@ronaldwolf2599]

Barry; Well done video. Is it rue while in manual mode, ISO if set to automatic mode, it will not adjust automatically?

[@photographersfreedom]

Thanks Ronald. No, you can use Auto ISO in manual mode.

[@ronaldwolf2599]

@@photographersfreedom Thought someone posted that auto ISO mode is not variable, if camera is set in manual mode. This really simplifies video shooting..

[@gamertila]

Thank you.

[@photographersfreedom]

You are very welcome. 🙂

[@robertmaier7367]

when I'm in manual mode, why does the flash still trigger?

[@photographersfreedom]

That's a good question Robert. I'm not sure of the answer just now. Are you using a D5200?

[@manjeetthakur80]

Hey Barry, your videos are really informative thanx alot. I want shoot a short film on my Nikon D 5200 and m totally a newbie..in this camera world. Can you please help me suggest me, what settings should I do make my video good and professionals.

[@photographersfreedom]

Thanks Manjeet. Check out my video on how to film video with the D5200. That will help you with all the settings you need. kzbin.info/www/bejne/noLWoZmZZreSqNE

[@jacobrenoj3388]

Can u please tell me how to take light trail photography at night on nikon d5200.

[@photographersfreedom]

Sorry Jacob but I haven't got into that kind of stuff yet. Maybe do a search for it here on KZbin? Even if you can't find a video specific to the D5200, you'll probably find one that will help you with basic settings/techniques. Good luck and thanks for watching my video. 😀

[@maryjulbasog484]

Hi, I have the same camera. Im a begginer. I was just wondering if the 4.5 is the least aperture in d5200?

[@photographersfreedom]

Mj Basog The aperture settings depend on the lens you are using, not the camera. Please watch my Aperture video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJKynpKOra10frM it will explain everything you need to know about Aperture. Thanks. 🙂

[@crlsvaldovinos]

Hey Barry. I have this exact camera. I followed your instructions on how to change your ISO. Through the menu button. But when I change the amperature with the wheel. The ISO does not auto adjust. Any pointers?

[@photographersfreedom]

carlos valdovinos So you are setting your ISO to Auto, and it's not changing when you change your aperture in Aperture Priority Mode? Is that what's happening?

[@rubabatulurba6662]

Hi barry, I had an.aperture of F/2.5 and suddenly while experimenting I got fixed at 4.5 and it is just not changing...badly in need of getting back to what it was since the photoes came out jicer and remember I have an event tomorrow morning😭😭

[@photographersfreedom]

Hey Rubabatul. What camera do you have? Are you using Live View or looking through the viewfinder?

[@photographersfreedom]

Sorry, I just looked at what video this comment was on! If you're using the D5200 and using live view, if you don't have Manual Movie Settings on, you can't change the aperture when in live view. Go into your Movie Settings menu and turn Manual Movie Settings on. 😉

[@rubabatulurba6662]

Hi again barry, I was not on the live view but I observed the aperture kinda fixes itself though it is on the manual mode I wonder how! And today it was F-3.5 Ultimately I had to shift mu shutter and iso for the pictures

[@sofierdblog]

Fab!

[@photographersfreedom]

Thanks! 😀

[@nithesh9380]

I cannot understand about aperture iso and shutter speed....where can i get its explanation

[@photographersfreedom]

[@lubabahabdullah6763]

How I can achieve the aperture f32 in nikon d5200?

[@photographersfreedom]

That will depend on the lens you are using. Not all lenses go to f/32. Using an aperture that small will not produce a very sharp image. Most lenses perform better around f/8.

[@sudipkarmakar1842]

Can I use Nikon 70-300mm lens in my D5200 ??

[@photographersfreedom]

Sudip, judging from the quick research I just did - yes you can. You may have to upgrade the firmware on your camera to use VR though, as I think it is set in-camera and not via a VR switch on the lens.

[@AntonioRizaldeVeloso]

How can i make rapid shots with nikon d5200?

[@photographersfreedom]

On the top of the camera is a button with some little rectangles stacked up on each other. Press that and choose Continuous H from the menu that comes up.

[@jacobrenoj3388]

Ok Barry callister Thanks Jacob Renoj from kerala

[@footballworld2829]

why there is no wifii in Nikon D5200

[@photographersfreedom]

I think because it's kind of a lower model. It is just above an entry level DSLR, so doesn't have all the features the higher models do. It is a shame. 🙂

[@elgabote]

Just to add, there's a bug on the camera, when you're using the screen as a viewer, the aperture adjustment doesn't work, you have to turn off the screen view (so you see the aperture/shutter options on the screen) adjust the aperture and switch back to screen view. Really annoying if you're trying to film :/

[@photographersfreedom]

This can be overcome by turning the Manual Movie Settings off. Go to Shooting Menu>Movie Settings>Manual Movie Settings>Off. Then you can change Aperture in Live View. 🙂

[@footballworld2829]

also no Bluetooth

[@nealeware9163]

To confusing.

[@photographersfreedom]

What is confusing you about it? Maybe I can help clear it up for you. 🙂

[@nealeware9163]

@@photographersfreedom Hi Barry! I have a Nikon D5100 BUT I have brain damage and have trouble remembering things. I just wish there was a camera setting that you could use that covered everything. I love photography and I love getting that special shot but when I hear all this stuff about having the right settings it is disheartening. Why can't photography be something that everyone can do instead of being a camera science? It seems to me that there is just so much you have to be able to remember when you are going out to do some photography that it takes all the fun out of it.

[@photographersfreedom]

@@nealeware9163 why not just set your camera to Auto Mode? Then you can just shoot away happily and not worry about all the settings and confusion. 🙂

[@nealeware9163]

@@photographersfreedom If you are using for example sports mode do you have to get your settings right? I like to get birds in flight and things like that. Is there an all-around setting that will get you through everything?

[@nealeware9163]

Barry if you could bring out a small booklet that people like me could carry with their camera pack that covered all settings like landscape, sports, portrait extra then you would really be on to something.
