Awesome video! subscribed!!

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Thanks for the support!

[@brensue999]

One of the most helpful videos I have come across for new users of the Nikon D7100 ... thank you!

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+brensue999 We're glad we could help. Take care!

[@jaysnyder7367]

I own a D7100. I would say that I'm an advanced beginner and am always looking for D7100 tutorials on KZbin. This one is VERY good. Thank you!

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Thank you Jay!

[@jazzman1626]

I got my D7100 second hand and there were dust particles in the same places, on pictures of the blue sky, using different lenses. I tried the auto sensor-cleaning feature but the spots were still there. I got a sensor cleaning kit from eBay and the second pass of cleaning took every spot off. The D7100 is a fantastic camera! Btw, don’t forget to regularly clean your lenses, especially the back elements and the lens mount too. Failure to do so can mean that dust left in these places, can and will drop onto the sensor.

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Enjoy it!

[@elijahmackey9539]

This is a great video for beginners just starting with the D7100. I particularly like the pace, clarity, and sound. The section tilting is and awesome feature, allowing the viewer to easily pause and replicate what was seen.

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

+Elijah Mackey thanks for your comment! :)

[@ErikStone]

I'm not a pro but not a novice either. Just got my D7100 and need to quickly learn the different settings. Your video answered a lot of my questions. Now I'm ready to go. Thanks.

I'd also like to give a go at long exposure photography although I'm not a pro at DSLR'S I have my dad who has a D810 (I think) with better knowledge to help me out. Ive seen the d5600 with 18-140mm VR lens deal but Ive also seen the D7100 with 18-105 lens deal which one would you suggest?

Hi Steve! We are glad you found the video helpful! :)

[@denniseberhart9573]

Looks like you need a 4 year college degree to use this camera. Great video ! I am taking a chance buying this camera as I am a true beginner at age 67 .I plan on getting the 50mm f1.8 as I am most interested in taking portraits of my grandchildren. I do have lenses left over from my N65 camera that I can only use in manual mode. Hopefully when I purchase the camera the people at the store can get me started in a basic camera mode. Thanx again for your video....will be watching many times over. Dennis

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi Dennis! We're glad you found it helpful! Welcome to photography :)

[@muhammadhaseeb2733]

Can you please tell me that light on front right side why is it not turning on while taking photographs ?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi, it is the focus assist light and it should turn on in low light conditions when you are in AF mode.

[@idontagreefilms820]

Thanks for this video. There's something I STILL don't understand (despite not being an absolute beginner !). If you compare the Nikon's D3300, D5500 and D7100 (just as examples) and you put exactly the same lens on them, and you ignore "features" such as wifi, flipscreen, bracketing capacity (and even build quality which I know is better on the 7100), what DIFFERENTIATES these cameras in terms of stills and videos quality ? They have the same sensor size, same pixels more or less. Why is the D7000/D7100 better than the D3300 in terms of actual photography or videography ? I can't work it out. I tried to find answers on the internet but couldn't. If you read this, thanks a lot for your answer !!!

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi there, besides the differences already mentioned, newer cameras have better processors, more ISO range, faster shutter speed and more autofocus points that allow you to process faster and better pictures.

[@idontagreefilms820]

Thanks to you !

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Our pleasure!

[@ivantorres6858]

I do urban exploration, so I bring my Nikon d7100 everywhere I go but I notice my pictures weren't coming out as I want it to come out. After watching your video I learn a lot and my pictures are coming out better then before. Thank you

+Christian Aranda thank you! :)

[@konstantinosbozinis1021]

I have a question.. I got the d3100 and at the time I press the button to auto focus st the lcd screen appear information for the iso aperture and more as they appear if you press the (i) button 2 times.. can this appear automatically somehow when I focus or before I take shots? Thanks in advance!!

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

It should all appear in live view mode.

[@vyacheslavyevseyev5235]

Hi Izzy. Thanks again for your previous answers to my two questions concerning the functions of D7100, they were helpful ! Now one more question: How can I get the camera to name the files I retouched in-camera (straightening, cropping etc.) not DSC.... , but CSC.... (just as it is the case on my previous D5300) ? This would be practical, as the retouched files do not need much further changes on a computer. The naming of files should be somewhere in the settings menu. Grateful in advance ! Vyacheslav

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi Vyacheslav, the photos that are edited by default should have the CSC, if this does not work we would suggest contacting Nikon for support, we do not have that camera in our store so we are not able to test it.

[@samertubes]

Perfect calm and efficient talk ... Thx

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Thank you for your support Samer! :)

[@talatlaldeen3829]

hello, sir can we use center weighted or spot metering while on the auto focus area?? or it does not make the difference while you are take pic on aouto focus aera but i have chose center weighted or spot metering point.

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi Talat, when using AF mode it will not make any difference to the photo.

[@talatlaldeen3829]

Digital Goja Dear Sir, sorry may be couldn't illustrate correctly, i mean to say using on M mode during the in door party i ve chosen the aouto aera focus on the other hand in the metering can i chose spot meter or center weighted point.

I thank you for a very informative video. Everyone starts out as a novice. I really want to thank you for your quick feedback to questions and comments. So many people put up videos and never answer a question from viewers. Poor service and I never subscribe to them.

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi Winston! We are always glad to help! :)

[@vyacheslavyevseyev5235]

In Aperture priority mode on my Nikon 7100, the rear wheel steers the ISO, and the front wheel the aperture. but I would prefer to operate both options vice versa. Is it possible to change this ?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi there! Go to the FN section of your manual and see about programing the FN button to select ISO. Consider also Mirrorless cameras since they allow more control of the button layouts.

[@heartoflions7138]

What’s frustrating with this wonderful camera is that I can’t open up HDR settings.... or P settings either. Many things in the menu are not available, or the arrow simply skips over HDR and I’m unable to open it. Frustrating

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi, you should contact Nikon for support.

[@hassanlove9]

it's a great video, aim planning to get the d7100 soon, is the Nikon 50 mm lens considered an art lens? and second is the kit lens good enough to practice, thanks in advance.

[@clarencenewby716]

So this Camera will work with my d5200 lens? Also, will it drive older Nikon 80-200mm screw drive lens?

sir, which camera is better nikon d5500 or d7100 for image quality and night performance?

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

I would go with the D5500. Its new sensor and image processor gives it an edge over the D7100.

[@MRCORPUZ360]

When you do a factory reset do I take my memory cards out? If I leave them in will they erase my photos? Great video! Very informative. Thanks in advance

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi Mike! It just resets your camera settings, however, for double precaution, always remove your memory cards to prevent any data loss when doing restores/resets to your camera.

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi Aqib! Make sure your exposure and ISO are adjusted to your subject/environment.

[@christopherfinch163]

I'm thinking of getting a D7100 or D7200 but, for the price I'm thinking with my tight budget the D7100 is the way to go. Don't you think? Great video, Thank you!

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hi Christopher! Both are good cameras, the main difference of the D7200 over the the D7100 is the wireless connection and NFC connection (to transfer photos to your phone straight to your camera). Besides that, both cameras have almost the same technical specifications. :)

Hi I want to know how i can reset my camera complete??? I don't know what i touch that the camera is not taking good pictures they are coming blurry with bad definition and super dark someone can't help me please ????

[@DigitalGojaUSA]

Hello Yadira. First, I would recommend that you change the mode dial to P. Next, press the menu button and in the shooting menu (camera icon) there is an option to reset the shooting menu (I believe this is usually the first option). Select yes. There is also a Two-button Reset to restore the camera to default settings. All you have to do is press and hold the ISO and +/- buttons for two seconds. Both buttons will be marked by a green dot. Let us know if that helps you out. Take care.

[@ronylakiss4932]

Thank you for the gr8 and helpful video. But I'm having a different problem i can't shoot more than 999 photos and the camera is not creating a new folder even if the memory is empty and the counter says that i still have 2 photos the cam won't take more than 2photos despite my empty memory !!

how can i send pic from d7100 to my iphone ?

Hi Rion! You will need to download the Wireless Mobile Utility App for Nikon to your smartphone and connect them using the Wi-Fi feature on your camera. You can find detailed information about this on Nikon's website: www.nikonusa.com/en/learn-and-explore/a/tips-and-techniques/using-your-nikon-cameras-built-in-wi-fi.html
