Thank you so much!!! Ive red the manual focus point stuff and red a bunch of online articles and not one of them addressed this damn lock button! I've been trying to figure out what I did for 2 days. Thank god I saw your video the night before my AM wedding. I will be thanking god that you are a generous man with your knowledge.

[@mollydappenbrook3412]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I was close to tears trying to figure this out! The manual did not help, nor did any other online information. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for you posting this video!!! Many thanks!

[@JacquelineChay]

Phew - read the manual and still didn't get it, was going nuts until your video made it so easy - Thank You, Thank You

[@KorakiSphinx]

I've had this camera for years and never knew that was there, and suddenly locked it and had no idea what was going on . Thank you!

[@oc2phish07]

This was the clearest and most helpful video I have seen to explain how to select, move and use the focus point on the D7100. Many thanks for posting.

[@lisayukon]

You have no idea how happy I am right now. I was searching online forever, found all these (for me) difficult descriptions and then I learn in 1:39 how to change it so simply, wonderful! Thank you so much!!

[@robox2725]

I have the d7000 and I could not figure out why I couldn't move my focus points. Thanks to you I figured out that it was locked. My lock button is in a different place but thankfully I found it and it worked. I really thought it was broken, thank you so much!!!!

[@MeCopiate1]

thank you very much because I'm looking for many tutorials but all had very confusing explanations and with a simple explanation you could solve my problem

[@cosmichasm]

Autofocus lock... seriously... thankyou for the help! I was starting to get a bit frustrated because I remembered being able to change the focus point for the auto focus but couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.

[@103703878]

[@CameraGuides]

+John Arne Paulsen You're welcome. Thanks for watching! Do you have any other videos you'd like us to do?

[@PamelaBrandonChromeFoto]

When you refer to the button on the front of camera which side of the front of camera and what button? Also when you say when it's in auto focus you can't change the focus points, are you referring to when the camera is set on auto focus mode? Just trying to make sure I do the correctly. Thanks

[@rosemarywoller573]

Perfect. Quick. Simple. Thanks for the help!

[@CreatorMaali]

Ohhh Thankyou So much Bro........ I can't explain how happy i am? 😀😍 Thankyou Thankyou

[@ShaneSchofield52]

Spent the past few weeks trying to work out why my "Old Nikon" was no longer letting me select a focus point... Focus lock dial... All but forgotten about.
Cheers.

I own the Nikon D7100 and I am trying to figure out how to use my Wireless Shutter Release on my camera and can't get it to work. Can you help me please? And thank in advance.Dave

[@clean.parker]

This video is old. I don't know if you'll see my comment, nevertheless, I wanted to say thank you! I just bought a D7000 for macrophotography. Autofocus was literally making me insane. I found the manual focus switch, but didn't realize the focus lock switch was a thing. I don't want to throw my camera into the woods anymore, yay.

[@losangeleslovesbatteries3828]

So helpful, thank you!

[@lotteverlinden3846]

[@gideonhorn5560]

Dude thank you!!!!

[@carlidoepke5131]

I don't know why I didn't look up this video months ago. My point was stuck on the farthest left it could go....I started to notice that in a lot of the photos I was taking, my subject was to the left of the frame since it was pretty difficult to keep the focus and move the camera to where my subject was on the right. Not cool.

[@haniqqq]

Thank you

[@sammyfromsydney]

On the D7200 as far as I can tell you have to hold the damn thing up to your eye to see which AF point is selected. I really hate what they've done to the displays on the D72.

[@CameraGuides]

+syousef True. I couldn't find a way to do it on the back screen either.

[@chrisjesss]

Ok, good to know I am no the only one. I really miss this feature on the D7200. So stupid that they left it out. Especially when you are handing the camera to someone else for them to take your picture, that display was really helpful to quickly check if the focus is still where you want it to be without having to look through the eye-piece or switching on the LV.

[@GMMilambar]

WTH, I asked how to set the autofocus point WITHOUT the touchscreen. Why is google showing me how using the touchscreen. I don't want to be poking at a touch screen, I want to be taking photos. My old Nikon let you set the AF point by scrolling the little wheel, which was ideal when the camera was up in my face with my eye in the viewfinder.
