Top 5 Settings To Change On The Nikon D7200 

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.

thankas man nice i love this video

Good points, but this vid could have been 3 minutes long (and should have been).

Thank you so much

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.

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

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 :)

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

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 ;)

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.

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.

Raw plus JPEG fine [NOT small)

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!

great tips but a little long winded and repetative on some of the subjects

The Active D Lighting and the picture profile only affect your JPEG's, not your RAW's.

When he chose focus modes where was af-c.. I stopped watching like many others.

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

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.

Many thanks for your video.

Still rockin the D7200 (along with D810/D750/D500)... great for portraits with the 85/105/180... kudos on the great review! (@ selectmodelevents)

Jared is better than jared

Hi! Is it just mine, or does the D7200 only let you shoot video at 1080p 60fps on the 1.3 crop? Does anyone know if it will let you film at 60 fps 1080p on DX Image area?

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.

Hello, maybe u can help me) In liveview mode I have wrong exposition on my screen (whatever I do - the image is the same). Maybe there is a way to solve this problem?

You don't have to shoot in RAW + JPG for downloading to your phone (at least on iOS). I download the RAW file and it automatically converts it. I can upload to Facebook or Instagram from just downloading the RAW file.

Hopefully someone gets back to me, with regards to changing AF modes, does it always switch back to default settings after switching camera modes? Like from auto-scenery-aperture.

If you upload .raw to your phone or tablet you can edit in Snapfish or Adobe.

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

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.

i shoot raw and i use a app that coverts the images to jpeg so i may import to lightroom

You assume that I know a lot more than I do. "Just go into custom settings" for instance. How do I get there?

Great video. I shot with a Nikon D7000 for a while and upgraded to a D7200. It is a really great camera. Thanks for this video. It was well done and I intend on trying out all your suggestions. To be honest, I am not sure about rear focusing but will try it out. All the best to you.

Great Video ! I recently bought a Nikon D7200 and it's an amazing camera 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I am hoping this helps me because a lot of my pics come out with the slightest blur and its soooo annoying.

To many words, I lost this guy after two minutes...

I like back button focus but on the 7100 and 7200 the AEL AF ON button is a bit too far away....SO far it is the only thing I have not liked about the 7100. Some of the other model split these and put AF On closer t the right which sounds like a small issue but it is noticeable.

The most important take away here for me is how to turn off that fricking beep.

Mine doesn't have the 1080p 60 fps option, only 30 fps

You dont need JPG to use your photo on your mobile phone ;-)

Can we use it for watching stars and Galaxy's?

Thanks for your tips. I learned at least 3 new things.

Thanks for the video. Does the active d-lighting affect the raw or jpeg? Thanks.

Does anyone would know why my top two Frame size/frame rate, 1920x1080;50p and 1920x1080;60p are greyed out, so they cant be selected in the video menu section? I assume it's because of another setting somewhere, but which one is stopping me from selecting either of these two settings?

Great tutorial, well done, articulate, and helpful.

Great Tutorials learned so much from them as the manual can be a bit confusing.

Great video thanks so much!!!

Great video for us weekend photographers

Cannot find a link to: How to enable back button?

Off subject question but can you tel me what Lens you have on during this video? Thank you!

Hello, I am new in that and to be honest, I do not want to go very deep just I want to have some basic knowledge which helps me not to do foggy pictures. I really need help with my camera. I do have Nikon D7200. Allways when I do pictures I can not focus on what I want. My focus always goes to my background. Is that because of the lense? Thank you in advance.

Hi, nice tips. Also, does Nikon d7200 have the ability for AF Fine tune by pressing AF and movie button in same time? It sould appear display massage: Before, fix the camera in place and check that it is focused. Proceed?

how do I shut the pre-flash button off?...I think that's what they call it

Get ur basics right.. AF-S is single, AF-C is continuous.. AF-A the camera automatically selects between Single or continuous.

Off subject. Did anyone ever tell you you look like Jimmy Kimmel ? Thanks for Sharing this Tips.

Picture Control in Nikon actually DOESN'T affect anyhow the RAW data itself! It is a set of corrections applied by the camera while displaying a shot on the camera screen (in JPEG mode). If you use Nikon's native software for downloading images off the camera onto your computer you will notice that you can switch from one Picture Control mode to another exactly the same way you do it in camera and view the changes applied. Or you can switch all modes off to view just a raw data. In other words using any of Picture Control modes in camera doesn't anyhow affect your ability to edit RAW data in post-production.

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.

Great video...do you have anything on r11/10 issues for Nikon D7200??? I am frustrated with this and seems like I can't get into MENU because of that...please reply back. Thank you.

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.

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

My settings does not have the flat iption

I watched this video to compare Nikon's menu with Sony's to see if there was this abysmal difference many people complain about...I don't see much dufferebce with A7's menu options? Besides It has over 5 customizable buttons plus three dedicated knobs. I just don't get it, I can focus with the A7 seven faster than this Nikon and see in real time the spot I'm pointing at, not just a black screen...and you can instantly lock on someone's eyes...and you don't have to go to live view to record video... and in video mode you can change ISO, aperture, etc. in real time...way faster

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.

Hi, I have been using my D7200 for a while, but suddenly my self timer automatically takes the photo instantly when depressing the shutter. How can I fix this. Very annoying as it use to flash for 10 sec before and then take the photo. Thanks for helping. I find your videos inspiring. Leon

Hello, I have question about nikon d7200, why red buttons for video record not working , and what to do. I bought new of nikon d7200 couple weeks ago . do yo have solutions . thank you

Here's the link to the back button focus video he talked about. It's not in the description. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gc_SM_H22lg.html

You are incorrect about NEF / RAW not being processed by iphone software. It will be all means allow you to transfer it via wifi and share it on social media. The utility is called WMU and it is fully able to use RAW.

one more things please. I usually fined problem with full photo .full body photo is not in good quality .I don't know why .what sitting should I follow when I shoot full body . (someone standing up )???

Hello sir can you explain about double exposure settings. My camera option doesn't on in multiple exposure. In d7200

Convincing everyone to shoot your way? Everyone shoots different. Your way works for you, not everyone. Lots of wasted info.

Hi i just bought a new Nikon D7200, but my record button isn't functioning, please how do i set it up

How can I change the info box that's blac on white or white on black to the three round dials like in my other nikons. It's so much more clear that way and I swear I had it on here but can't find a way in the book or the camera. Thanks buddy.

Great little tutorial. Thank you!

Which prime lense is good for d7200??😔🤔 Please reply me as soon as possible

Thank you very much. This was very helpful. I really needed to know how to use the settings. One of the problems that I have is the top dial. I don't really understand how to use it to use the camera in a variety of ways. Do you have an explanations for that?

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
