Nikon D7000 How To Tutorial 1

[@_J.F_]

If you own a Nikon D7000 then this series of "How To Tutorial" is the absolute best! I come back to these videos ever so often for a quick 'refresher course' and every time I am amazed by how great these videos are towards explaining the ins and outs of this camera, and how to use the different features.

[@afti03]

me too bro!

[@afti03]

one thing to mention! i just realised yesterday you can use your screen in live view to take photos and to check your focus with zoom, but finaly being able to go lower than 30/1 on my shutterspeed. All you have to do is turn off Manual settings/exposure in video options. Life changer for my real estate photography!

[@alexlanza79]

I can listen to your videos all day long! I'm really amazed on how simple and clean you can make these "how to" videos, is like a father talking to a child, which is exactly what we amateur need!

[@joanneblack189]

3 days ago my nephew loaned me the D7000 to see if I liked it. As of 20 minutes ago just before I came across your video, I was going to give it back to him not wanting to buy it. I was overwhelmed with all the functions on it. All I can say now is... Thank you! thank you! thank you! I am now the proud owner of a Nikon D7000!

[@carsonhall6497]

You talk to us like we are absolute idiots and I love it.

[@samsen3965]

You too

[@julianmitchell3725]

you all prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any help you can offer me.

[@cashrex4326]

@Julian Mitchell instablaster :)

[@julianmitchell3725]

@Cash Rex thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@julianmitchell3725]

@Cash Rex It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass!

[@adibee88]

FRO KNOWS FŌTŌS! You're a GREAT "Instructions Manual". Yesterday I "graduated" from my D5000, to a NICE D7000. Packed with features, I was BLOWN AWAY!🤯 From April 2019 I've progressed: Canon Sx50hs PowerShot, Nikon, D3000, then the D5000. I'm POSITIVE I WON'T outgrow my D7000! I've SUBSCRIBED to your channel, appreciate and love your work. Great Job!🙌

[@rayyfield]

If you just got a D7000 and you know the basics of using a digital DSLR but need to find your way around this particular Nikon, this is the best and most time-efficient way to get your bearings. Great job, Jared.

[@reverselady]

I bought my camera at a place with "great" customer service. So...perhaps the service is great if you're an experienced photographer. If you're a newbie, they don't have the time of day. Your video is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for putting together a straight-forward guide using "normal person" language!

[@KatDatoxic]

Best beginners tutorial I have found for the d7000!

[@jayden3879]

No it’s not I have no idea wtf he’s saying half the time

[@JohnMurray67]

Just looked at this video again after having my D7000 for 1 year now. Please keep this type of video content going. I don't know when I will upgrade, but when I do hopefully you will have a video similar to this one to give me the quick start I need. Thanks for all you do for the photo community.

[@chadmourawed1328]

My wife got this camera 9 years ago and was very intimated by it. Hardly used. I'm starting to get into photography and this video was great. Thank you!

[@kfanara1]

I just got my Nikon d7000 and this video was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Many thanks!!! I will be watching more of your videos and playing with my camera to learn more.

[@zio2485]

Just bought a D7000, great tutorials. I learn best by watching opposed to reading. Thank you for doing your reviews and tutorials.

[@danusiatrevino]

Thank you do much, this is so helpful for someone who does not use the camera often enough to remember all the settings. I really appreciate that people like Jared take the time to share his knowledge with the rest of us. Danusia Trevino

[@SomeonewithaSony]

Ahhhh the good ‘ ol days…no ads no Squarespace no plugs for pre-sets. I miss you 2011. I miss you.

[@jameshall2882]

I'm watching this in 2021 and STILL learned something about my camera. Thanks Fro

[@ArChi285]

Got my D7000 10 years ago, but I still watch this video to learn about my camera.

[@Ferreal92]

I was a little intimidated to make the jump from my trusty D60 to the D7000 but your vids finally convinced me to get one. So much easier than I expected. Thanks, man!

[@formicapple2]

Jared This is the sort of tutorial that every beginner needs, of which there are plenty. but not as good as this one. I'm going to use this video as a supplement when I teach a class

[@TheDalejake]

I used your setup guide on my first dslr the d3100 and never looked back , didn't touch the auto mode from day one , now I have upgraded to the d7000 this was my first stop , thanx fro

[@ArChi285]

My D7000 has been with me for 8 years, I guess, but I have only learned/understood now how to use all those buttons. Thanks a lot for that. Next to watch is the Part 2.

[@RomiGonzales]

Jared...Thank You very much!! I've been trying to read my D7000 User's Manual and don't get me wrong...Nikon has really done a great job in publishing a great user manual. But YOU have cut short the time it would have taken me to understand the buttons/functions etc of the camera!! The ease in how you explained these and in such a simple and clear way makes it a joy to watch and do reruns of your tutorial. The picture in picture setup of your video is a plus too. Alexlanza79's comment is quite true!! Much gratitude Jared ...and thanks for the fun humor too!! (Y)

[@kumailhsn]

i got my D7000 yesterday, i know nothing about DSLR cameras thanks man you helped me alot, i really appreciate that.... :)

[@theclassroomdoc]

Thanks so very much!!!!! I have not used a camera for years and forgot everything. I can't wait to watch more.

[@SamanthaRIacoboni]

Awesome tutorial; after finally deciding to upgrade the Nikon D60 I got in 2008 I was left both amazed and slightly nervous about my new D7000. Though I understood the buttons and functions, I was still left feeling like if I didn't learn more I would ruin my experience with it. I'm glad I watched the tutorial and will most definitely be watching the next.

[@jwgilb61]

I have now been absorbed into the cult of "Nikonians" - picked up my d7000 yesterday. Thanks for the info!

[@Danboarding]

Thanks for this tutorial, Jared. I just got my D7000 today and I am watching this as a companion video to the manual. Will be using it with my 50mm 1.8 AF-D. This DSLR body is awesome!

[@dlmulder]

Thank you so much for this video! I live on a gorgeous subtropical island in Japan and wanted so badly to capture the beauty of it all so I took a photography class and did a lot of research online as to which camera would suit my needs the best. Within a month I came home with the D7000 and although I LOVE the camera, I found trying to learn from the manual an overwhelming task and was quickly discouraged. Needless to say, I have been doing a lot of shooting in Auto. Not anymore! Thanks!!

[@geekgurl64]

Jared, THANK YOU!! My last SLR was an old Nikon F3 from back in the early 90's. My new D7000 just arrived today and I am clueless on how to use it! Thanks for the video and as soon as the battery is charged, I will be viewing your next video so I can actually take some photos!

[@bearnuggets]

I was a beginner a few months ago...I would say yes! If you are thinking of getting into learning more than "auto" haha...I love it...great hobby, get you out and about, remember to read and then try, read more and then practice. The practice always left me with more questions that lead me to more research etc

[@ranjanasinha9985]

Thanks for an excellent tutorial Jared...!! You made it so very easy to understand my Nikon D7000....

[@sofinney]

perfect soo helpful got my D7000 today and had not a lot of knowledge about it so this helped my ALOT

[@richiepowa]

Hello Jared, I bought a D7000 last week, many thanks to you, in fact this video really helped me with all menus..! Thx! Cheers

[@noelmurray4573]

Thanks just changed from a D5000 to the D7000 .Loved the video . Easy to follow and understand. thanks again

[@allstar2941]

Jared, Thanks! I've had the D7000 since new and never took the time to understand the buttons and menus .... so I hardly used it :( Your video tutorials are well done (straight forward, complete and simple) so I can Finally USE this camera! Just wanted to say Thank You.

[@MrTrollnba]

It's now quite a good time I'm using this D7000 camera (I'm even thinking about replacing it) but I have to admit this video has reminded me the goal of some buttons (and BTW why I do not use them) and I've learned also some stuffs, like the way to quickly reformat the SD cards... I used to go to the menu to do this. Much quicker to use the integrated "two-buttons" way to reformat the cards. Thanks Jarod

[@baaabymel]

This video was extremely helpful. I finally invested in a DSLR camera (Nikon d7000) and I didn't know there were so many things to it! Thank you!!!!!

[@Jessedog11]

I Just Got a D7000, 1st DLSR so Im new to this.. This guy is very Helpfull, Thanks Dude!!

[@xrateduser]

Thanks man, I just got my D7000 you showed me a few new tricks, I look forward to watching your videos!

[@LolitaDelRey3]

This was a fun video! I got my Nikon D7000 and was going through the buttons with you. Great teacher!

[@333gpp333]

You know what dude?...I want to THANK YOU for posting these vids on here. I have learned a alot from you! ! SO...I'm going to buy some merchandise off of your website to support you dude! Thanks again Jared Fro Polin! George from Canada

[@MrChaleunsouk]

You have done a great job. I just got Nikon D7000 on 24th May 2011.

[@tdate19]

SO SO much better than reading the manual! This was great...THANK YOU!

[@muundmue]

I hate reading manuals (I only read them when I have a specific question) and I LOVE this video! Thank you für this informative an fun video!

[@SLopez11]

Just bought the D7000, this is a great vid to get acquainted with the camera. Looking forward to #2. Fro does know photo!

[@dalmir0]

THANKS MAN! Just got my new d7000, saw the videos and really appreciate what you did for all of us lazy readers. One thing... I think you forgot to say what the button on the front is for. The one that doesn't have any inscription that is by the lens's hole. From Argentina many thanks!

[@TheMidLifeCrisis817]

Great videos. I have been a photographer for a while and still enjoy your test, tutorials, etc....

[@froknowsphoto]

I love the D3s

[@Subzero2281]

Currently running with a d5100 right now, contemplating between a d7000 or a d600 I'm a noobie. Any suggestions.

[@GaryJimenez]

What is your lens situation Chee Yang?

[@Subzero2281]

Gary Jimenez I'm using a 35mm f/1.8, it's the only lens I have for now and currently using. So far I like it a lot. I was hoping if I upgraded the camera I might get better shots. 

[@GaryJimenez]

If it's the 35mm 1.8G then you have to take in to consideration that it is a DX lens. On the D600 or any other FX body you won't be using the camera to its full extent. I would suggest a lens right now instead of a new body. As far as obtaining new gear this will net you the greatest bang for your buck. But the best thing to do is just keep shooting and studying others work for ideas and inspiration.

[@Subzero2281]

Gary Jimenez yeah I was having second thoughts about the FX because I would need to buy FX lens to use its full potential. I'm currently looking into a used nikon 12-24mm or maybe the 70-200mm sigma. 

[@gofrankurdi]

I absolutely LOVE your sense of humor :D It's even funnier that you're so serious and then say stuff like "not U2 the band" hahaha you're adorable. Thanks for the helpful tutorial

[@lka968]

so much more fun watching this than reading the manual. Thank you.

[@rxhaani]

I am very tech savy but know nothing about photography. Extremely helpful introduction for my first dSLR camera.

[@Militaryminiatureshq]

Awesome man, novice here! You make easier to get the most of this expensive but COOL CAMERA!!!!

[@rebekahk7941]

Ok this was the most helpful review I've ever seen

[@BandstandsBest]

A big thanks....very clear, comprehensive and invaluable for learning the go-around of this camera.

[@Owencoffin55]

Thank you for making this video, it is EXACTLY what a beginner like myself needs.

[@Spotcaseframes]

I shoot most of my videos with a D7000 ! Many thanks to you, your videos helped a lot !

[@gavalarslade]

just bought this camera as an upgrade to a d80! such a handy vid thanks!!

[@AndrewIlies]

Thanks for the video, I'm 16 and I'm trying to start learning the d7000 and get better at using all the features rather than auto witch I don't like to use.

[@droy333]

Hi Jared, stumbled across your videos about a month ago, subscribed then and there. Still going through some old ones just for fun (and to fill in some time and possibly learn something). Just wanted to say good job, quite entertain yet very informative! Keep up the good work!

[@adiedonoghue1]

Cheers Jared, I'm about to step up to this bad-boy and your walks throughs are great!!

[@scicero1]

I love these videos, im still learning the d7000. Fro teaches alot

[@froknowsphoto]

@katrawrrawrrr no idea, but def call nikon get that sent back.

[@Ivhez1]

I just bought a used D7000 and I hope not to regret, is a good camera.??????

[@cellfonelive]

Ditto.... Thank you for the great KZbin video. It helps a lot and you also have the best videos on ALL the cameras !

[@vickidavidson5318]

Hi, Thank you so much with the help with my new camera. I love the way you explain every thing to me.Great stuff. I am very happy

[@00769bond]

Who wrote this! I'm very happy a Professional has taken the time to make a video for guys like me! I hate reading the manual! Keep them coming Fro! Bond00769

[@sayedmsp]

Hi Jared, u've done a good job. This video is very useful to the newbies who just enter the dslr world or who upgrade their cheaper cam, like me. Well done...

[@appacana]

JaredPolin and DigitalRevTV are my favorites in youtube. Keep it up!

[@jimmycrackedcorn226]

I love your videos Jared! I learn a boat load from your videos! Thanks for your information, man! Much appreciated!

[@TheRealOnyxBlackman]

Thanks jared, your quick overview was very helpful. I've had the camera for about 5 hours and I'm ready to shoot but don't feel like reading a damn manual (but i could watch a video about how i should operate) thanks bro!

[@giosanz6862]

Excellent video, thank you ... I also have a question, would this lens Nikon AF-S 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR II DX Telephoto Zoom Lens work on my D7000 ? Thanks

[@ajujuguam]

Thank you for taking the time out to make these videos, excellent tutorial.

[@ZHLodhi]

Thanks man, I just got mine and no doubt this and the followin vids have saved me a good few hours of fiddling around with it to get to grip with its functions. Great clear descriptions too :)

[@froknowsphoto]

@eleventhphotograph yes i did.

[@dhearn100]

Thanks for the video. I just got a D7000 with a 18-140 lens. My question is, what setting do you use to auto fine tune this camera to this particular lens?

[@82mccord]

If you're shooting on a cropped sensor, then the 35 is almost the same as the 50. It comes out to like 43mm, I think. If you get the 50, then your shooting more at around 75mm. I'm sure you may know this already, but I didn't when I was first starting out so I thought I'd share. Also, I got the 35mm f/1.8G and love it. It's sharp as a tack and can shoot in almost any light, even at lower ISO. I rarely take the 35 off my D3100. Regards.

[@pevitzachast6892]

Thank you. You make it really digestible. I'm a total novice and you made it less intimidating.

[@patricelongchamps9880]

Great Video, You got it!! You are a natural communicator. Well done again !

[@SaZooCaballero]

Let me go back in time. I have a D200, should I be using continuous focus? or single focus? Also should I have "focus selector lock" in "L" or "."? Long time fan, thanks for all your help!!!

[@LaurenHelene]

i have had this camera since it came out & it's still going strong.

[@justinxmorgan]

dude thank u so much for doing this. I'm going to watch all ur vids. u explain stuff very well

[@miniteichman]

@420photog Mirror up mode is usually used to only flip up the mirror in long exposure shots to reduce vibration.

[@jackies35]

@ComradeII Hahaha! That's what I said at first. But Jared is referring to the screen protector that's on the Nikon LCD screen. He takes it off and just keep the Nikon screen clean as you would with an iPhone.

[@jackies35]

Great video! I think this is very important. Instead of me buying every new camera that comes out, I will learn all I can about the one I have. Great video and your voice is perfect! Loving this!

[@GMKhairulIslam]

Thanks for making this video, this video is really helpful for the new photographer

[@FadilKarim]

Thanks a lot for such an in depth tutorial! I definitely learned a lot!

[@raymondchan3587]

Nice and Quick introduction, help my transition from D5000 to D7000 real quick.

[@rezahossain9017]

Excellent! saved lots of my time to read through manual.

[@MsMe1001]

Great video very useful ,just bought my D7000 couple hrs back

[@bannermanmedia]

Watched your D7000 walk through. Helped a lot. The D7000 walk through? Same deal. Sat with camera following along. Nice one Jared :-)

[@1jiveturkey1]

Great videos. Thanks for taking the time for those of us with major ADD.

[@amateurfutographer6502]

Hello, I am looking to buy DSLR but bit confused which one to buy because of lots of options being available in the market. Here I would like to add that I like taking photos of my family and kids at home (including portraits), indoor photography, family trips to another city or country (holidays) , day outs, school functions, kids sports, friends get-together etc. I would love to take blurred background pictures which is my favorite part. I am less bothered about capturing videos, I just like taking photos. I am not much into wild photography, architecture, etc. Should I buy DSLR Camera and Lens in one go instead of buying them separately? I am thinking of buy eitehr Nikon 18-105mm or 18-200mm lens. Not sure which lens to buy! and would that be worth to buy these zoomed lens keeping in view my above photography priorities! Or should I go for prime lens? And also not sure which camera body to buy? My budget is approx. $1200 (£750). Thank you in advance for your time and comments. Amateur Photographer

[@clivepottinger]

Thank you for such an informative video. I'm looking forward to your other D7000 videos.

[@LZmiljoona]

Finally a D7000 video! Thanks, jared!

[@froknowsphoto]

@katrawrrawrrr no idea but def call nikon get that sent back

[@juana1483]

I just got the d7000. Wow it is heavy compared to my three Panasonic Lumix m43 cameras and lenses---way wAy heavier. The next couple weeks will decide whether I keep it or not.

[@saraadams3914]

Great Video! Looking forward to Tutorial 2!

[@carolynhaney8046]

Thank you, I have had the camera over a year, but pcked up a few extra things I didn't know.

[@transcendentalself1301]

I just wanted to say I think you're cool.. and I love your hair. Thank you for the video!

[@Wuzzysbrand06]

Yes, the D7000 has an internal focusing motor. If the lens is manual focus only, then it's still not gonna be able to autofocus. The AF/MF switch is pretty straight forward...it switches from autofocus to manual focus and vice versa.

[@OwenPrescott]

You should buy the D7000 and Sony A77, whichever one you do not like you can send it for me to look after. I bought the D7000 and it is amazing, big step up from the D3100. :)
