I've tried learning manual settings several times over the years and none of the tutorials have ever stuck with me. Your video and explanations are the most helpful I've ever found!
Most comments here are 6 years old. But in 2023 your video is still blessing people with knowledge of this wonderful art called, "Photography." God bless you!!!
You are just awesome Teacher! I just started learning photography and the time when I was just getting overwhelmed with the settings and the science of photography, you saved and piqued my interest. Thanks alot!
Thank you very much for this video, I am getting ready to acquire my first DSLR (7100 or 7200 haven't 100% decided if the price difference justifies the 7200 for me yet considering the 7200 isn't leaps and bounds beyond the 7100 and i'm not shooting action "often"). This video has helped me understand quite a bit and I am looking forward to putting it into practice! Thank you!
I am a bit dense when it comes to comprehension of a subject. I am older and lean towards the more artistic side of things. Normally I can figure things out through a more hands on approach. Not so when it comes to understanding the code of photography. This is a great tutorial for any student of photography. I am getting it!
actually ISO has nothing to do with light sensitivity on a digital camera, it is applied gain that is added after the photo has been taken via the processor
Thanks so much for your knowledge and good explanation! Which camera do you use to make this kind of videos? d7200 has a bad macro focus Thanks! Jonathan from Argentina!
I agree and also use a mirrorless camera as it gives me instant visual feedback of the exposure, rather than have to look at the back of the camera after taking the picture to confirm that the exposure was OK. That said, many people seem to prefer using an optical finder, like on the Nikon, especially for fast-moving action. But think about how much more difficult it was using film, where it was only after processing that you were able to see if the picture was properly exposed. Yet MANY great pictures were taken this way. I think that this is a great tutorial series for learning the basics.
Sorry if I wasn't clear. It's true the camera can go up to 25,600 and even higher, but I was pointing out the usable range for decent image quality. I think above 6400 image quality on the D7200 begins to suffer.
If the only way to get a shot is to use those extreme ISO settings, then you would. If aliens landed or something else really remarkable was going on. The image quality would be poor, but better a poor quality photo than nothing at all. But for most of what we do, you want decent quality and need to work within the limits of your camera. The D7200 is a great camera, but you can go spend twice or three times as much on a D850 or D5 and shoot at much higher ISO's if that's the kind of work you're doing and you need that.
@@joebro937 he said native because even if your camera can go to an very height ISO you are not supposed to use that height ISO unless you are in an extreme case ... And Native varieties between camera's even if they have same sensor the Processor might be better (like D7100 vs D7200) so you can get more usable ISO out of the same sensor ... Also photography moved to so much better sensors I am wandering why they did not give us better lower ISO to get even sharper images ... Anyway avoid using height ISO as much as you can to get the most quality out of your images. The more light you have the lower ISO you can use that is why one of the most important rule for a good photography is lighting.

Thank you, that's very kind

Learned in 25 minutes what I was trying to grasp over 25 hours.
For me it's been 25 years..... lol Your so lucky!!!!
Love your D7200 videos. Thanks so much!
Really loved this video. So we’ll explained.
Great video, really informative and explained clearly, thank you.
Great information....I still have my 7200 with a kit lens of 18-140mm and added a super wide angle of 12-24mm lens: loving them BOTH!

I bet your a pro by now!!!
it's a good refresher for the old brain to work properly.
Detail but yet simple, great stuff. thanks
Thanks a lot for this videos I learned a lot this week to how to use my D7200 🙂
Awesome tutorial... Thanks a bunch!
Really very helpful and well made. congrats and thanks
Clearly explained. I learned a bit more. Thanks
Basically laid out incredibly !!!
Really great learning from this video. Good man
thks so much,greetings from Germany
Greetings from South Africa!
Thank you for these videos! But what about metering? :P
Great tutorial! Thank you so much ;-)
All images in this video are made with d7200?
No, the images come from a variety of cameras. The instructions are specific to the D7200, but the photos are not just from that camera.

Now you got me really confused.... thanks a lot!!!! Has the Eagle landed yet??? Lol.
@@thommysides4616 who? Me?
just shoot in raw?
Thank you, very informative.
Thanks so much for your knowledge and good explanation!
Which camera do you use to make this kind of videos? d7200 has a bad macro focus
Thanks!
Jonathan from Argentina!
8 and half minutes in and I had to pause to run to the toilet! Great tutorial though :)
Just the kind of comments we need to read....lol. Hope your pipes are clean now! ha ha.... cheers!
Inspiring...
Ok Thanks🎉
nice video
MY 7200 does not have an exposure meter on the right hand side when in Manual mode. Why?
Try the 'info' button the back of the camera. You can change what is displayed.
That is good stuff
Thanks
Instructions unclear, poured water from my faucet onto my camera
This is the biggest problem with nikon cameras. They don't have the live view exposure simulation.
They do
Oscar Garcia if they do. Then where is that? Please help.

I own a D7200 and the native ISO range is 100-25600, not 100-6400. I believe the range said in this video is incorrect.
Sorry if I wasn't clear. It's true the camera can go up to 25,600 and even higher, but I was pointing out the usable range for decent image quality. I think above 6400 image quality on the D7200 begins to suffer.
Will Yurman don't need to explain urself. Obviously this guy didn't listen. Thanks for video. Helped alot. Why high iso tho when it's unusable

I was just simply stating the actual native ISO that is all. Didn't mean to get people all fired up.
