I´m a d750 user too, started 2 months ago. Now, after 5000 pics i decide to learn more, because I don´t have too much nice picture. Thanks you Tony for this proffessional material. Long life :)
Funny, I bought the D750 in Dec 2014, however, I've been limping along with it in aperture/shutter modes, discovering things as I go. Just this weekend decided to "officially" educate myself. In the process, I discovered Tony and his vast resources, which has been immensely helpful. I watched all the D750 overview/unpacking/user manual type videos FROM 2 YEARS AGO. Then, ironically, I get notification of Tony's rendition. Extremely apropos! The best introduction of the D750 by far. Thank you Tony!
I know some people are just complaining about this video being too late, but just wanted to say thank you. There are still people buying the camera today(I bought it recently) that this tutorial will come in handy for or maybe somebody who's had it for a short time and would rather watch a video tutorial than read a boring manual. Thanks, keep up the great work.
Providing a table of contents to the video is fantastic!!!! I've owned the D750 for 18 months and still have questions on specific topics. You two are an amazing resource. Thank you!
Just picked up a brand new D750 today for $996 from B&H, Black Friday deal. It's my first DSLR and I can't wait to get to try it out. Thanks for such an informative video!
Tony and Chelsea give so much to photography and the art and science that make us better. Tony is exceptional in his creativity providing for the rest of us who are under no compunction to buy anything he sells so much value for free. Yes, he plugs his work, as he should, and because he gives so much for free, I will make sure where possible I will buy so he receives a small pittance for his incredible effort at making all of us better. As a couple, Tony and Chelsea (Chelsea in other videos) are engaging and entertaining playing off each other to our advantage. Congratulation, and as always, great work.
Hello Tony. Am Mwiti from Kenya. I got my D3400 about 3 years back. To get started and get shooting, it's your Tutorial that was most useful....I recently upgraded to the D750 and again, your Tutorial (this one) was the most helpful. Much Thanks. GOD Bless
Just bought my Nikon D750 yesterday ( yes, I found it better even in 2019 after watching a lot of reviews, experience & also by considering the budget in hand). This is a very detailed tutorial & explained most of the questions I had. Thanks !
I love this camera, I really wish I could like this video twice, the amount of effort put in to make this video, I really honestly appreciate it and I love your channel! Thanks again!
Tony, I bought my camera a year ago, and was intimidated by all of its capabilities, and how much I don't know. I have watched this video several times, and I now feel so much more confident! I have learned SO much from this video, and I really appreciate it. Now that I am on the way to mastering the camera, I can take better advantage of my SDP book.. THANK YOU!!!
Thanks Tony! I have just brought this camera and I am loving it! Low light capabilities are just amazing. Ignore the knob ends who are moaning about the camera being 2 years old it is still one of the best and most popular SLR's! Thanks again!
Thanks Tony (and Justin). Now that Nikon have sorted out the camera's various technical issues, and the price has dropped a little, there must be a lot of people who have recently bought or are thinking of buying one, and will appreciate your comprehensive and entertaining tutorial.
I cannot thank you enough. I've had this camera for a while but you've taught me tons. Don't eve stop teaching; you are an excellent instructor. Thank you!
Hi Tony. I too wanted to add 'Format Memory Card' to My Menu. It turns out that the reason you can't is because you don't need to. The card in slot 1 will be reformatted if you press and hold the exposure mode button and the trash button together until 'For' shows in the viewfinder or 'Format' shows on the information display, then release them and press them together again.
Sorry it took you guys more then 2 years to make this but as they say better late then never, I own this camera since Nov 2014 so I will be happy to learn more about it just in case I missed something. Thanks Tony :)
Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! I'm watching it for the third time because there is so much gret information. Just bought the camera yesterday, and your video is making it less intimidating! Can't wait to check out all of the extra videos that you reference on here. The best part is that you explain so well--why and how--and make everything easy to understand; you're not talking "over my head".
I just moved up to the D750 from the D5300 and WOWWWW!!!, what a wonderful piece of hardware. This camera is freaking AMAZING! Couldn't justify the D780 and the D850.....well, I like my happy home! ;-) I went through the manual and have most of the the settings configured and remembered, but this video is still helping a lot as a refresher. I will absolutely be going to check out some of the web site pages as well. Still need to get the digital photography book. It's on my list. Ramping up this photography effort and your videos are a huge helper. Tnx
Thank God for this guy. I've learned a lot about my new camera. I was lost and not into reading the manual. Going to buy his books now. Thanks for making this video!
Excellent video, Tony, and I really enjoy all of your videos. Chelsea cracks me up with her humor. Really well thought out and executed as always. I've studied up hard on my D750 and you still told me at least 3 things I didn't know about this body. I've had my D750 since August 2016, and I absolutely love it. The D750 received some bad press with 1 or 2 issues that arose, but Nikon corrected the issues. I purchased my camera after the issues had been worked out, so I didn't have to send my camera in, and my camera does not have the black dot in the tripod mount hole, so it's a newer manufactured camera, not that it really matters. Anyone thinking about purchasing this camera, I believe you'll be very pleased with it. Lastly the knowledge brought forth by Chelsea, and Tony is extensive and brilliant. Thank you both for your contribution to photography.
Sorry people are dissing you for publishing this quite awhile after the D750 came out. I'm just about to buy one and am really happy you created this. Thank you. :-)
Just want to say, I have taken and listened to literally thousands of speakers and courses in my occupation which is extremely technical. It was an unexpected pleasure listening to you! Not only are you a clear and consise speaker, but in the over an hour tutorial, the was not one AHH, or UMM which alway's drives me crazy. Great job!!!!!
Thank you Tony & Chelsea! I just bought this camera I learned a few things that I didn't know this camera can do. You guys always have information I am looking for my photography needs. Keep all the awesome job you are doing! Cheers!
dawit dejene they are so helpful and detailed and "objective" in all their videos. They deserve to be paid for their constancy. I'll buy from them surely, just I'm Canadian I have to watch out for the import fees.
This camera has a 2 button format built in for quick reformating without having to go into the menu. Even faster than going into my memory, by holding down the metering & delete buttons at the same time. Also in regards to some saying this video is late, a lot of this is similar to several of the other newer Nikons! Thanks...
I just wanted to drop a comment and say thank you for doing tutorials and videos. I appreciate you doing this for free. You don't have to obviously, but here you are doing it for free so what it's worth, thanks.
That was an unbelievably helpful and I enjoyed watching to the end. Bought the D750 a month ago and was struggling to understand the menu settings. Thanks a million.
Got Stunning Digital Photography! Very nice. Also, you are very generous with all the free information. I bought my D750 in 2018, and haven’t used it much recently. I know the basics, but you’re showing me a number of things I wasn’t aware of. And just discovered I needed to adjust my diopter! Thanks!
Finally, after many years... I just traded my two D7000 bodies for this "new-old" D750 camera with only 10k shutter count, and my traded my just acquired 17-55mm 2.8 af-s dx for a 24-70mm 2.8 fx plus cash of course. My first FX camera after many years! I'm coming back to photography and I'm going to learn about it here! Hope to learn something new and be a better photographer! Stay safe and God bless!
Just got this camera. The only reason why this video would get 67 downvotes would be because it is a 3 year old camera. I can't see any other reason. Thanks for this tutorial, really easy to listen to.
Tony and Chelsea, I have discovered you about 3 years ago and from start you cease not to amaze me. Thy so very much!! My friend kindly lent me his 750 for try out 1 week and I amm able to shoot as I want AF-L back botton for start :) Cheers, Lan
This is amazing. I have owned a D750 for over 2 years and have only been able to point and shoot. I am so glad to have found you. You have made everything so much clearer, even down to the SD cards and how they work in conjunction with the camera. Due to lock down and rainy weather it has been sat in a case. Can't wait for my battery to charge then I can re-watch whilst using the camera as it should be used. Fantastic!
I have seen many tutorials for this camera and I can tell that this is the most didactic one I have seen. I have got lazy with my iPhone camera but Tony thanks to put me back serius with photography.
Reading this in 2024 having just bought a D750 to try and get back to a no nonsense camera and your tutorial is fantastically useful!! Thank you ! Did you ever do one for the D850?
I've had my camera for over a year. Most of the basic stuff I knew, but got some neat little tips out of this that I didn't pick up (or just didn't remember) from the manual and other sources, as well as some great links to other videos to watch. I found Tony engaging - I am notorious for zoning out when watching stuff and picking up my phone and doing other stuff, but I felt like I was having a personal conversation with someone that wasn't pretentious and just wanted to share some really great info.
Oder people will have charged a fortune for these tutorials. I am even more happy that I buy your book (stunning digital photography). This is a lot of work.
Good , great , fantastic tutorial , inspiring- with a good instructor . After buying this camera a few month back , which was a good investment, after buying a few lens, now im going to try out a 20 mm 1.8 nikon lens which is suppose to rock. Photography is actually a healthy hobby, business , because you are pretty much always on your feet or moving around.
I've found the camera's phone control app is great as a remote trigger, especially for macro photography. It allows you to check critical focus just before taking the shot. It's also a way to do a self portrait with an f1.2 lens and a very shallow depth of field. (This is with a Canon 5D Mark IV and the 50mm f1.2 lens)
Great video! I watched this several times before purchasing the D750. Also, I really appreciate all of the informative videos that you post on your website. After watching a few, I bought your book, which as a ton of really useful information in it. I've been shooting photos for quite a few years, mostly in auto mode, and I decided that it was time to become a better photographer. Thanks again for all of the videos and information.
I do use my remote trigger port, connected to a pocket wizard as part of the strobe triggering system, so pressing the button on the one I'm holding will take a picture wirelessly and fire the flashes at the same time. It adds a lot of flexibility to posed portrait work where you can get natural expressions when the subject doesn't see your finger on the camera, and lets you get super high end selfies haha
Just bought this camera. Thanks for this guide, will be helpful. I was only shooting film, cameras were cheaper, but film has gone way to expensive. Will still shoot film, but on certain projects.
53:00 Manual white balance is useful even if you shoot raw. It enables you to preview how the final image would look like in scenarios when you combine flashes with natural light. The same goes for picture control - if you intend to create a black&white image, the b&w profile will help you to better invision the final result.
As always excellent advice for both the camera and other items. Never stop learning is my motto. Again Thank you for sharing for free your experience and knowledge.
Excellent tutorial. The basics, even for an advanced body, never hurts and those who don't want to watch can fast forward. I was surprised by your suggestion of the Ving flash as you previously recommended the Yongnuo. Thanks for your work on these videos. Keep it up.
So impressed by your tutorial ....went and bought the Stunning Digital Photography ebook. Cant wait to now get cracking on the book and hopefully become a better photographer.
Great tutorial. I currently own the Nikon D5500 which I bought last year which is great for walking around London with. I am know saving for the Nikon D750 as well as the Panasonic GH5.
Hey Tony. Thanks for this video. I know that this model is not so new but it is very popular and it is the entry point for FX; thus, many people still buying it and can benefit from this tutorial.
Just purchased the Nikon D750. Thank you for the video. I now feel I have somewhere to start and it does not seem so intimidating. I also purchased your book "stunning photography" and will be digging into it soon. Total newbie here.
Thanks for making this about the D750. Been working my way through it slowly, correcting & improving my bad habits & discovered some new things. Kudos :)
Great video! Little mistake with the exposure modes, the one with the asterix is a very useful mode that came up with the D750 and will expose for the highlights, meaning the camera will expose for the brightest part of the image. Very useful for a sunset, high contrast environments, ... The result might look underexposed but since this camera has an amazing dynamic range, it's then easy with any editing software to bring back what is in the shadows (over exposed highlights can't be recovered in digital, there just no information, hence this new mode). Hope this helps. 🙂
I just bought one of these because someone sent me a Nikon lens instead of a Canon so I thought it would be a good opportunity to get into Nikon. I had no idea what this camera could do but this thing is incredible. The dynamic range is just as good as the new Sony's and it came out in 2014.. the low noise and shadow detail is incredible.. the number of menu items is shocking compared to Canon... Two card slots? It's like a professional tool.. and I was impressed with my 6d.. but this is definitely going to be my main camera.. crop mode is amazing.. I was thinking about a 7dII but after using the 77d and not liking the way the noise looks of the crop sensor and comparing it to my 6d, i had to find something else full frame. This camera is the shit..
Great video. My Nikon D50 of many years gave up the ghost recently, the cost of repair was nearly 3X the cost of replacing it with a used model. I had purchased a (used) Nikon D5100 already so just tossed the old D50 in the trash (but kept the DX lens). I recently decided to create a TH-cam DIY instructional video, but the D5100 would only shoot full HD at 60i. I then purchased a new D750 along with a referb Nikon FX lens. I intend to use the D5100 primarily for still photography and the D750 for videos. Re: Photo editing software. I understand that as a professional Adobe products make sense. At one time I had Photoshop, but they lost me when they switched to a subscription only business model. There is a free open source alternative, GIMP, that I find is as capable as Photoshop in every way. For converting RAW (NEF) format to JPEG (and many other formats as well), Irfanview is another free open source application that works very well. I have a collection of Kodak Photo CD's containing professionally scanned 35mm transparencies from my multi-decade collection. The file format is obsolete but Irfanview allowed me to convert them to JPEG and store them on a hard drive.
Excellent and detailed review. Many thanks Sir. Planning to get my first FX camera. Will keep returning to your tutorial till i become totally proficient.
This video is great! Thank you so much for saving me the pain of having to go through the manual of the camera. 1,5 hours later and i know everthing about my camera!!:):)
Excellent tutorial - thank you so much for that. I just ordered a new D750 over the Black Friday weekend, but they sold so many, I'm currently on back order. It's my first full-frame digital camera, so I'm quite excited about it. For me, it's all about 'stills', so I think this camera still has a lot to offer, especially at the price. I wasn't ready to go mirrorless - even though the Z 6 seems like a very good all-rounder, especially at the prices they were selling for, the thing that really annoyed me is the price of the Z mount lenses. They are all really expensive compared to their F mount equivalents, especially when you consider that the image stabilisation is built into the camera, not the lens. Add to this the fact that, as yet, you can't use 3rd party lenses with the FTZ adapter. I would always want the choice of being able to use, for example, a Tamron lens. The best lens I currently have is a 70-200mm f/2.8 G2 Tamron, which I use with my D7200. Anyway, great video, thanks!! 👍👍 Ps I'm really looking forward to buying and reading your book, sdp. Like, asap.
Thanks a million, I have watched several of your videos on new products I've bought and they are by far the most well done on the web of all the ones I watched. I sure hope you make money doing this because its a great service to the community, will definitely go through your link to purchase on Amazon.
It's so weird that I've been following you guys for ages. Then I buy a D750 and you literally posted this video 24 hours later. Thanks! ..If everytime I spend money on something you could follow up with a little 'How to..' video revealing life's secrets - that'd be well chill Tony. P.S. Can I have a job?
For people who shoot Jets,, I use my exposure compensation religiously depending type day it, because under the plane there is little light, it helps me a lot getting nice belly shots with enough light so I don't have to look at extreme shadows,, and we all know what are in those shadow areas,, No information.. I have gone from plus 1 to 3 at times.. Thanks Tony nice videos,,,
I'm planning on upgrading from a D3200 to a Full Frame camera preferably. Is this still a good choice? I'd be doing portraits mostly, landscape sometimes, long exposures, and a lot of abstract stuff. It's the price limit too, can't go any higher really.
I just got my D750 today. Imagine that- I bought an item years after it's original release! Thanks for the tutorial Tony, even though the camera is a few years old. Heaven forbid you do a tutorial of an old 35mm ;)
Loving my D750 after having had it for a couple of years now. It's interesting, watching the new camera options come out, where we think...it sure would be nice to have this or that, but overall, I'm pleased. Much of what is in the D850 would be nice to have, other than the price increase of course. Back buttons lit up would be great for night photography, I certainly don't need the higher resolution filling up the hard drive with the RAW file sizes, as I don't use this camera for my career opportunities, and a touch screen would be nice, 'but' not a necessity. Personally, I'd rather put the $$ into glass (lenses) so that's what I'll do!
Thank you for a tremendous video. As a novice and feeling overwhelmed with the camera, you broke it down simply! Thank you!! Looking forward to looking at others. Will be subscribing! Thanks again.
It’s December 2023 and just purchased a D 750 and can’t wait to it.Great video.

Man I'll be getting it too for my first full frame
I also thinking switch from canon 6d.
That was a year ago, how has it turned out?
GREAT TUTORIAL, GREAT TEACHER, TO THE POINT! THANKS, TONY.
That was an unbelievably helpful and I enjoyed watching to the end. Bought the D750 a month ago and was struggling to understand the menu settings. Thanks a million.
Got Stunning Digital Photography! Very nice. Also, you are very generous with all the free information. I bought my D750 in 2018, and haven’t used it much recently. I know the basics, but you’re showing me a number of things I wasn’t aware of. And just discovered I needed to adjust my diopter! Thanks!
Finally, after many years... I just traded my two D7000 bodies for this "new-old" D750 camera with only 10k shutter count, and my traded my just acquired 17-55mm 2.8 af-s dx for a 24-70mm 2.8 fx plus cash of course. My first FX camera after many years! I'm coming back to photography and I'm going to learn about it here! Hope to learn something new and be a better photographer! Stay safe and God bless!
Thus was the best video on my Nikon D750 I have ever watched Clear, Concise, strait to the point great examples of why and where Thank regards Warwick
You are my go-to channel for photography. I've learned a lot from you. Really appreciate your FAA test tutorial also!
Just got this camera. The only reason why this video would get 67 downvotes would be because it is a 3 year old camera. I can't see any other reason. Thanks for this tutorial, really easy to listen to.
Tony and Chelsea, I have discovered you about 3 years ago and from start you cease not to amaze me. Thy so very much!! My friend kindly lent me his 750 for try out 1 week and I amm able to shoot as I want AF-L back botton for start :) Cheers, Lan
Thanks, Lan!
Got my D750 about 6 months ago. This is great Tony! Thank you
Such a great Tutorial.
I was such a beginner and now I know almost all the basics of my camera. Thumbs up!
I just got my D750 last week. This tutorial was really helpful. I'll definitely be getting your ebooks. Thank you!
Glad to help, and thanks!
This is amazing. I have owned a D750 for over 2 years and have only been able to point and shoot. I am so glad to have found you. You have made everything so much clearer, even down to the SD cards and how they work in conjunction with the camera. Due to lock down and rainy weather it has been sat in a case. Can't wait for my battery to charge then I can re-watch whilst using the camera as it should be used. Fantastic!
I have seen many tutorials for this camera and I can tell that this is the most didactic one I have seen. I have got lazy with my iPhone camera but Tony thanks to put me back serius with photography.
You have talents, passions and charming personalities.....What a great presentation !!! Heartfelt Thanks to you Tony ....
Reading this in 2024 having just bought a D750 to try and get back to a no nonsense camera and your tutorial is fantastically useful!! Thank you !
Did you ever do one for the D850?
My Nikon D750 arrived Thursday - I'm finding this video extremely helpful!
I've had my camera for over a year. Most of the basic stuff I knew, but got some neat little tips out of this that I didn't pick up (or just didn't remember) from the manual and other sources, as well as some great links to other videos to watch. I found Tony engaging - I am notorious for zoning out when watching stuff and picking up my phone and doing other stuff, but I felt like I was having a personal conversation with someone that wasn't pretentious and just wanted to share some really great info.
Oder people will have charged a fortune for these tutorials. I am even more happy that I buy your book (stunning digital photography). This is a lot of work.
Really nice presentation, and nice to spend 1/5 hours with you, Tony. You're a very good and thorough teacher. Thanks for your time.
Thanks for the great tutorial. Even though I've owned this camera for awhile, and I use it frequently, I learned a few things from this video.
Good , great , fantastic tutorial , inspiring- with a good instructor .
After buying this camera a few month back , which was a good investment, after buying a few lens, now im going to try out a 20 mm 1.8 nikon lens which is suppose to rock.
Photography is actually a healthy hobby, business , because you are pretty much always on your feet or moving around.
I've found the camera's phone control app is great as a remote trigger, especially for macro photography. It allows you to check critical focus just before taking the shot. It's also a way to do a self portrait with an f1.2 lens and a very shallow depth of field. (This is with a Canon 5D Mark IV and the 50mm f1.2 lens)
Great video! I watched this several times before purchasing the D750. Also, I really appreciate all of the informative videos that you post on your website. After watching a few, I bought your book, which as a ton of really useful information in it. I've been shooting photos for quite a few years, mostly in auto mode, and I decided that it was time to become a better photographer. Thanks again for all of the videos and information.
I do use my remote trigger port, connected to a pocket wizard as part of the strobe triggering system, so pressing the button on the one I'm holding will take a picture wirelessly and fire the flashes at the same time. It adds a lot of flexibility to posed portrait work where you can get natural expressions when the subject doesn't see your finger on the camera, and lets you get super high end selfies haha
Thank you SO MUCH for putting this together! I am a visual learner, and this just makes learning my new camera so much more enjoyable.
Just bought this camera. Thanks for this guide, will be helpful. I was only shooting film, cameras were cheaper, but film has gone way to expensive. Will still shoot film, but on certain projects.
This was a great tutorial. Was not aware of camera shake using 10 second timer mode! This explains some not so sharp tripod pictures I have taken!
53:00 Manual white balance is useful even if you shoot raw. It enables you to preview how the final image would look like in scenarios when you combine flashes with natural light.
The same goes for picture control - if you intend to create a black&white image, the b&w profile will help you to better invision the final result.
Auto is right nearly 99% of the time.
As always excellent advice for both the camera and other items. Never stop learning is my motto.
Again Thank you for sharing for free your experience and knowledge.
Tony & Chelsea thank you for your great tutorials.
Excellent tutorial. The basics, even for an advanced body, never hurts and those who don't want to watch can fast forward. I was surprised by your suggestion of the Ving flash as you previously recommended the Yongnuo. Thanks for your work on these videos. Keep it up.
Great tutorial---took my new d750 out of the box and followed along--thank you!!
Great video!!!!!one of the best tutorials i've ever seen!!!
I upgraded to this camera a couple months ago from a D80! Quite the upgrade! Thanks for this video.
So impressed by your tutorial ....went and bought the Stunning Digital Photography ebook. Cant wait to now get cracking on the book and hopefully become a better photographer.
Great tutorial. I currently own the Nikon D5500 which I bought last year which is great for walking around London with. I am know saving for the Nikon D750 as well as the Panasonic GH5.
Hey Tony. Thanks for this video. I know that this model is not so new but it is very popular and it is the entry point for FX; thus, many people still buying it and can benefit from this tutorial.
Just purchased the Nikon D750. Thank you for the video. I now feel I have somewhere to start and it does not seem so intimidating. I also purchased your book "stunning photography" and will be digging into it soon. Total newbie here.
Thanks, Michelle!
Just got a D750. This is a great video to explain how to us it with some very useful tips
What's wrong with the ones who disliked this great video
Thanks for making this about the D750. Been working my way through it slowly, correcting & improving my bad habits & discovered some new things. Kudos :)
Just bought a d750 and looked at your video beautiful and thankyou very much a well constructed and informative Video
Great video! Little mistake with the exposure modes, the one with the asterix is a very useful mode that came up with the D750 and will expose for the highlights, meaning the camera will expose for the brightest part of the image. Very useful for a sunset, high contrast environments, ... The result might look underexposed but since this camera has an amazing dynamic range, it's then easy with any editing software to bring back what is in the shadows (over exposed highlights can't be recovered in digital, there just no information, hence this new mode).
Hope this helps. 🙂
That is super cool. Thank you for sharing that.
Great overview of the Nikon D750. I have reset my focus button and all good to go.
I just bought one of these because someone sent me a Nikon lens instead of a Canon so I thought it would be a good opportunity to get into Nikon. I had no idea what this camera could do but this thing is incredible. The dynamic range is just as good as the new Sony's and it came out in 2014.. the low noise and shadow detail is incredible.. the number of menu items is shocking compared to Canon... Two card slots? It's like a professional tool.. and I was impressed with my 6d.. but this is definitely going to be my main camera.. crop mode is amazing.. I was thinking about a 7dII but after using the 77d and not liking the way the noise looks of the crop sensor and comparing it to my 6d, i had to find something else full frame. This camera is the shit..
I know most part of the camera but I just like hearing you speak it again. Like your review.
Great video. My Nikon D50 of many years gave up the ghost recently, the cost of repair was nearly 3X the cost of replacing it with a used model. I had purchased a (used) Nikon D5100 already so just tossed the old D50 in the trash (but kept the DX lens). I recently decided to create a TH-cam DIY instructional video, but the D5100 would only shoot full HD at 60i. I then purchased a new D750 along with a referb Nikon FX lens. I intend to use the D5100 primarily for still photography and the D750 for videos. Re: Photo editing software. I understand that as a professional Adobe products make sense. At one time I had Photoshop, but they lost me when they switched to a subscription only business model. There is a free open source alternative, GIMP, that I find is as capable as Photoshop in every way. For converting RAW (NEF) format to JPEG (and many other formats as well), Irfanview is another free open source application that works very well. I have a collection of Kodak Photo CD's containing professionally scanned 35mm transparencies from my multi-decade collection. The file format is obsolete but Irfanview allowed me to convert them to JPEG and store them on a hard drive.
Excellent and detailed review. Many thanks Sir. Planning to get my first FX camera. Will keep returning to your tutorial till i become totally proficient.
I just realized I was shooting everything on -4.7 exposure compensation. Ugh. No wonder I was having to adjust so much.
This video is great! Thank you so much for saving me the pain of having to go through the manual of the camera. 1,5 hours later and i know everthing about my camera!!:):)
Thanks so much, this tutorial is really brilliant and has helped me to understand my camera since I received it a year ago.
Excellent tutorial - thank you so much for that. I just ordered a new D750 over the Black Friday weekend, but they sold so many, I'm currently on back order. It's my first full-frame digital camera, so I'm quite excited about it. For me, it's all about 'stills', so I think this camera still has a lot to offer, especially at the price. I wasn't ready to go mirrorless - even though the Z 6 seems like a very good all-rounder, especially at the prices they were selling for, the thing that really annoyed me is the price of the Z mount lenses. They are all really expensive compared to their F mount equivalents, especially when you consider that the image stabilisation is built into the camera, not the lens. Add to this the fact that, as yet, you can't use 3rd party lenses with the FTZ adapter. I would always want the choice of being able to use, for example, a Tamron lens. The best lens I currently have is a 70-200mm f/2.8 G2 Tamron, which I use with my D7200.
Anyway, great video, thanks!! 👍👍
Ps I'm really looking forward to buying and reading your book, sdp. Like, asap.
How ever I'm expert in operating my gear but watching this video was a good review on details I never use and forgot them already
Thanks a million, I have watched several of your videos on new products I've bought and they are by far the most well done on the web of all the ones I watched. I sure hope you make money doing this because its a great service to the community, will definitely go through your link to purchase on Amazon.
I messed up my settings and by watching this video I got what I needed, really good video looking forward to buy some books.
It's so weird that I've been following you guys for ages. Then I buy a D750 and you literally posted this video 24 hours later. Thanks! ..If everytime I spend money on something you could follow up with a little 'How to..' video revealing life's secrets - that'd be well chill Tony. P.S. Can I have a job?
Absolutely AMAZING. I've wasted thousands on Art school (identity withheld). I will buy each of you books. Will return with an update.
Thanks Sir!
I just bought this camera 2 days ago. The tutorial has perfect timing lol.
For people who shoot Jets,, I use my exposure compensation religiously depending type day it, because under the plane there is little light, it helps me a lot getting nice belly shots with enough light so I don't have to look at extreme shadows,, and we all know what are in those shadow areas,, No information.. I have gone from plus 1 to 3 at times.. Thanks Tony nice videos,,,
Just bought D750. Video by Tony is excellent. Really cleared up a lot for this beginner.
Glad to help, Larry!
the best dslr ever right here, no doubt about it
I'm planning on upgrading from a D3200 to a Full Frame camera preferably. Is this still a good choice? I'd be doing portraits mostly, landscape sometimes, long exposures, and a lot of abstract stuff. It's the price limit too, can't go any higher really.
I just got my D750 today. Imagine that- I bought an item years after it's original release! Thanks for the tutorial Tony, even though the camera is a few years old. Heaven forbid you do a tutorial of an old 35mm ;)
I own a D750 and very much appreciate your video. Thanks Tony, it's been a big help.
Glad to help!
thank you your video. i just got a d750 and your vid is by far the easiest to watch.
Just getting a D750 and this is incredibly helpful, thank you!
Loving my D750 after having had it for a couple of years now. It's interesting, watching the new camera options come out, where we think...it sure would be nice to have this or that, but overall, I'm pleased. Much of what is in the D850 would be nice to have, other than the price increase of course. Back buttons lit up would be great for night photography, I certainly don't need the higher resolution filling up the hard drive with the RAW file sizes, as I don't use this camera for my career opportunities, and a touch screen would be nice, 'but' not a necessity. Personally, I'd rather put the $$ into glass (lenses) so that's what I'll do!
Thank you. I just got my d750 and I was a little freaked out and now I am excited to start shooting!
Thank you for a tremendous video. As a novice and feeling overwhelmed with the camera, you broke it down simply! Thank you!! Looking forward to looking at others. Will be subscribing! Thanks again.
You're welcome! Enjoy.
