God bless, and see you in the next video :) - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Take note. This is how you do a review and or instructional. Good lighting focus and clear educated instructions. This is how you get people to take you seriously. Good work Dave.
Thanks for the kind words Harry! Makes the effort that much more worth it :)
Harry, I can not agree more with you. EXCELLENT instructions from a very knowledgeable person. I think I am going shopping for a D750 this week!!!!
Virtual horizon Nikon d750
I have been using my D750 for almost 4 years and this is more help than I've gotten from reading and watching 100s of videos. I can't thank you enough.
Glad to help!
This is my first camera that allows me to use manual settings - your tutorial helped me so much. I did a photo shoot after watching your video and your tips and tricks made a huge difference. I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge!
Treasure trove of info specially for a beginner like me. This video has probably saved me days of trial and error, reading the manual, watching videos etc. I'm sure I'll be watching this video over and over while my experience grows. Thank you so much. Keep safe and God bless.
Absolutely brilliant tutorial, very informative, I have picked up loads of tips from you. Thank you.
Hi Dave - my wife and I are architectural photographers for luxury hotel and villas in Bali Indonesia (and surrounding islands) - we've shot with the D200, then the D7100, and we just received our new D750 yesterday afternoon - I had already found your tutorial so first thing this morning I set ours up with your assistance - wanted to say a big THANKS, and to also follow on with a God bless you and your family too brother!
Super handy, soooo well-delivered, easy to understand, immediately applicable...thank you for this! I’d been using my d750 for a couple years now without customising as detailed as what you have shown purely because I’ve not come across such a user-friendly tutorial! Thanks for this!! 😃
This has been the most informative video I've seen in awhile. It's neat to see how other photographers set their cameras up!
Great video Dave! Thanks for the tips and tricks. I especially love the autofocus being assigned to the AE/AF-L button, and focus mode set to AF-C S.
THANK YOU DAVE JUST ORDERED MY FIRST FX CAMERA THIS MORNING A D750. WATCHED YOUR VIDEO OF RECOMMENDED SETTINGS AND TIPS THIS AFTERNOON COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED TO GET MY HANDS ON IT. THANK YOU AGAIN
Very welcome +Daniel Warner and enjoy the camera :)
Thanks very much Dave. This is a very easy to follow video that is at a good pace and easy to understand. Many others go through the procedures way too fast. Your time & effort on this is appreciated very much.
Exactly what I was looking for in terms of customization !! Thanks a lot for the tips ! Awesome !
HI!! I just upgraded my camera from a D90 to the D750! This tutorial was extremely helpful getting me all set up! THANK YOU! I hope to check out more tutorials from you!
Thanks for watching and enjoy your D750! It's amazing :)
David, excellent oration and delivery, some of the best I've seen on TH-cam. Thanks a lot for making this.
The “overview” setting. THANK YOU. I had it on my d7200 and thought it was gone on my new 750. Didn’t know there was an extra page to scroll down to. Excellent review. 🏆
I've looked at many tutorials while waiting for David Busch's book to be published on the D750. Your tutorial is the best I've seen. I commend you on being able to provide us with the information in a way that is easily digestible. What a camera! And, what a great tutorial you've composed. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this. So easy to understand. I just got my D750 yesterday and I love it. This was really helpful & saved me so much time.
Great video! Just bought the camera today and this video saved me so much time in customising it. Thanks heaps!
Stumbled across this and found it to answer most of my ergonomic issues with this camera. Thanks man!
Just bought my first Nikon, a Nikon D750, and applied all the settings you’ve recommend. Looking forward to having lots of fun with this camera. My other is a Sigma SG14. I simply enjoy taking photos, and look forward to mastering this tool to compliment my hobby. Thanks for your video share.
Thanks, I followed (mostly) all your tips and used the camera on an outside shoot tonight. The set up works so well. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Very welcome David! Happy shooting (from on Dave to another ;) )
Dave Cheung thanks Dave. Love your presentation
Thank you! Thank you! I have used my new D750 for 4 sessions now and been increasingly frustrated with the autofocus and even went into manual mode because I could not rely on the auto focus area. You have saved me from starting to hate my new camera! ❤
So glad to help and happy shooting!
I just got the D750 after shooting with the D700 for 5 years. I was getting super frustrated and almost ready to give up. SO glad that I found this! Excellent video!
This was supremely helpful! I´m starting my wedding photography journey with a couple of D750s and this was exactly what I needed. Thanks! Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much my D750 arrived this morning, and your tutorial is awesome... So I will be watching it a lot until I get used to it.
Thanks
Have a great and Happy Holidays..
I have been contemplating an upgrade from my d7000 to a d750 or possibly a d810 and have watched MANY video reviews on youtube and read many reviews on blogs etc. The d750 appears to be the natural choice, for me, and your video has been the most in depth, truest, unbiased and helpful from all that I've watched or read thus far. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make it. This camera is certainly packed with features that many others haven't touched on and the choice for me is even clearer now. I hope others on the fence about this camera come to land on your video, thanks again!
Thanks so much for the kind words franco.foto ! Truly means a lot to me and makes the effort in making these videos that much more worthwhile :) I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed with either choice, so enjoy the camera and the journey :)
Thomas Maxxamus I love the idea of moving to mirrorless but have been sadly disappointed by slow focus speeds so far. One day ....
Thomas Maxxamus
I have an D750 and a Fuji X-T1 with 9 lenses, however the Nikon is what I reach for when I shoot people that need fast reflexes. The Fuji is a great travel camera, however.
Wow. I am in the exact same boat. I have a D7000 now and I am looking to get either a D810 or a D750. I take things such as price into consideration (DUH !!). But not just the price of the camera itself. I am referring to the CF cards that I will have to put in there. The fastest CF card that I've seen is 160MB/s. That card is $150 for a 64Gb. That's expensive when you compare that to the price of SD cards which this camera takes. The battery grip (which I have become accustomed to using, is more expensive as well. I keep flip flopping in my head about which to get. I also will need a new tripod due to the added weight of my new big lens and camera combo. All in all, I think I will most likely get the 750,but that 810 is calling me. I hate to do the same thing twice if I don't need to. Spending more money on the 810 now may be more practical for me than buying a 750 and being upset about any limitations which it may have. But at this point, I think I will have to take my chances and head in the direction of the 750. I will spend the extra money on 2 san disk extreme pro 256MB 64Gb cards instead lol
Thomas Maxxamus I was thinking of A7 II , but with mirrorless experience I have, I had to really think this through... At the end I decided to go with D750. Mirrorless is cool and fun to use, but in terms of quality and endurance, there are only two "racing horses" in the world Canon and Nikon. Not to talk about the number/choice of lenses ( without adapters / AF compatibility questions...) If someones biggest concern is weight, and light back pack only then I would highly suggest mirrorless.
Thank you Dave! Perfect tutorial. After having D90for a lot time, I have recently bought D850 and the setup procedure is done with almost the same functions (options). Very useful ...
I recently brought D750 and the information this video provided was very helpful.... thanks for helping me learn the right way to set up my D750. Thanks a lot.....
Excellent! Understandable! Interesting! I've seen most of the trash and finally found Dave's. The absolute best in all things of an instruction video.
Thanks Dale! Happy shooting :)
David this video has helped me tremendously and I appreciate you sharing the knowledge... GOD Bless
Fantastic video Dave - I recently purchased the D750 to accompany my D800 with weddings - I LOVE your continuous focus tip!! Thanks!
Thank you! Absolutely fantastic settings & tips. This is by far the best instruction video I have come across. SPOT ON!!! Great Job Dave.
I rarely leave responses to TH-cam, but I'll make an exception here. In so many ways this video has been extremely helpful. You suggest what to do (as do others) but then you go on to explain why doing it as you suggest is an improvement.
I've had my D750 for half a year, and decided I would try just about all your settings (but not the back-up settings in case your hand got tired). Everything works as you describe, and it makes things easier for me, once I remember what is done where.
Just a few things I do differently from what you describe now. Rather than shoot in (M)anual mode, which I still do at times, I set U1 for scenery photos and U2 for photos with people. I guess that's not such a big deal as I decided that the only way I will get good at RAW is to start using it for any photos I care about, and those settings almost always give me a good exposure, or at least a good starting point.
You ended up using autofocus - continuous, rather than autofocus - single. After reading about autofocus - auto, I decided to try that. It not only does what continuous does, I've read that it attempts to focus on a person's eyes. While watching the focus point move around on the screen, it does seem to be attempting to do that.
People have told me for years that I should use the back-button for focus, and it never made sense to me. After thinking about what you explained, I wish I'd have switched years ago.
Assuming you're still using the D750 for lots of photo work, are there any things that you do differently for landscape type photos, or for photographing people (not weddings)?
I've had Nikon cameras since the 1960's, using a Nikon SP for ages. Things sure have changed. Compared to my D2h, D2x, an D3, your suggestions allow me to concentrate more on the "photo" and less on the "camera settings".
Thanks for the kind words and for sharing your thoughts +Mike Myers . Re: landscape. I would definitely use the same settings. The only thing that may make a difference, depending on composition and aperture selection, is that the live-view may be of use for focus - for some reason if there's enough light, the live-view focusing seems more accurate. Cheers and happy shooting!
Interesting experience. I have my U1 and U2 settings based on what you recommended, U1 for "landscape" and U2 for "people".
I went to a fishing village at 5:45am in India as boats were being launched. It was so dark I could barely see. The D750 would focus once in a while, but usually not. After a few minutes, i tried to turn the focus-assist-light back on, but couldn't.
A day later, it turns out that to do this, I need to press the button at the left and change the autofocus setting to AF-S, after which the light worked fine.
Since it won't work anyway with your suggested settings, there doesn't seem to be any point in turning it off; for me, it's better to leave it "on", so if I need it, I just change my autofocus setting to single focus.
Dave thanks a lot ofr such a wonderful and informtational video.. crisp and to the point. I have applier nearly 85 % of the settings you mentioned.... it works flawlessly.
This is just about the most useful video on the D750. Thank you Dave, you Rock!
Thanks highveloc1ty and happy shooting :)
Excellent tips! I implemented some but not all of them for my last wedding shoot and it noticeably improved my shooting efficiency. Great stuff.
Thank for walking me through this. I just bought the D750 and needed the tour.
My D750 just arrived yesterday. Upgrading from a D5100. What a difference in bodies! You're hitting nearly all of the customizations I was looking for in the mice-type manual. Thank you!
Very welcome +Brian Becnel and happy shooting!
+Brian Becnel going the same way Brian! From the D5100 to the D750, getting it those days...gonna use it with my 35mm 1.8! :D
Brian Becnel йй
Thank you, the User's manual is 505 pages. You did a great job!
Thanks +John Brindisi ! Happy shooting :)
Incredible tutorial, David. You have turned my D750 from a very good camera to a great camera! Thank you!
Just recently moved to my first full frame camera and this video was super helpful for setup. Well done and thanks for sharing.
i switched on from canon to Nikon D750.. i m loving it but need lots of things to clarify.. thank for the guidance
Thanx for your effort to making this great video
Thanks for this tutorial. I just sold my Sony A7II and bought the D750, it was a focus issue for me in low light. I'm getting use to this camera, I'm sure I'll love it!
Mr. Cheung,
I‘m an engineer and have a masters degree - so I have seen and made instructional videos before. This presentation of yours is one of the best in class that I have seen.
Thank you.
thanks for watching and taking the time to write in. I’m humbled and honoured by your words and will try to keep it up. Blessings!
Brilliantly detailed and informative. I am considering getting the D750 and this will be an invaluable aid to setting it up. In the meantime I will use your guide to optimise my D7000 where I can as I think some of the menus are similar.
Thanks Vernon Nash ! Hopefully the tweaks big and small will help optimize your own shooting preferences :)
These settings helped me out a lot, thank you. I'm surprised at how good this camera still is for stills and will use it more before upgrading to the next Sony APSC upgrade to the A6500 for more video features. :)
I love the way you explained how to use the camera. Simple and easy to follow instructions.
Thank you Dave for putting together this great settings/tips guide. I'm stationed here in Japan and there is no option for me to get an English manual here. You efforts have greatly shortened my learning curve! Kudos to you and i will definitely follow your work. Arigato!
Thx alot for this video. I just ordered the D750, so I'm looking around for tips etc. And this video is great, gonna try this settings when I get mine. Have a wedding shoot in August, don't wanna fail :)
how was the shoot?
@@itachi_shakur893 he forgot the sd card
@@dwainfortune749 lmfao
10:54, make sure to set it to ON(Image review excluded). If this is on just ON you'll end up going through the pictures when you use the command dial instead of changing shutter speed. I had this issue at a wedding where I had to quickly change shutter speed and every time it was just scrolling through the images. Had to change it to ON(Image review excluded).
Thank you for this info :-)
Thank you so much! I got the D750 to have a look if I like the Nikon world, and had the exact same issue. I missed so many shots because I wanted to quickly change settings but instead scrolled through images, zoomed in and what no. After playing around with the menu I wasn't able to find this setting after half an hour - I really did not expect it to be in "Customize command dials". So.. thanks again!
Finalmente qualcuno che nonostante la lingua straniera si fa capire chiaramente! Complimenti per il video e per la chiarezza. Saluti dall' Italia
Carlo Schiavone Così felice di aiutarvi! Grazie per la visione e le riprese felice :)
Dave, thank you for the unique information on customizations. I currently have the Nikon D7100 and applied your knowledge to this camera, Plan to upgrade to the D750 in the near future and will watch your tutorial again to set the functions. You have a very sensible approach to getting the highest standard out of the DSLR. Shortens the time it takes to shoot in a rapid changing setting, such as a wedding.
That is the most helpful video I have seen well done :-)
Hey Dave, thanks for this superb video, no frills & just what I was after, recently upgraded to my D750, a lot happier & more confident with the camera thanks to you !
So glad to be of help! God bless and happy shooting :)
Fantastic tutorial. Thanks so much David. Just purchased my D750 a few weeks ago and the manual was driving me crazy. You've made it simple!! God bless!!
So glad you found value in this +Ann Sowieja ! God bless you too :)
Thanks to you I've made adjustments to my D7200 settings and that's great. I'm on the verge of getting the D750 and will be replaying your video a few times to get the settings right on that.
Hey Dave great Job, i am a first time digital guy, used film all my life and still do, but figured we really need both worlds these days, so was daunted by all the menus and settings and was just looking for an easy way to set up the camera and then use it in manual mode, with out all the clumsy stuff going wrong for me when the settings are all over the shop, your tutorial makes its easy to get the best out of your camera, so a big thank you to you, only one ask if you can speak a little slower for the old guy, he he that's me, i just got out of a d 5100 camera and into a d 750 considering i have so much good old glass on hand will add a few good modern lens as well and a new flash and grip and i think i will be set, all good to go, i generally do band photography, portraits, or landscapes, weddings seem ok i don't think i could deal with bride tantrums though good luck with it mate may have a little go at sports and nature too so much on offer
Thank you for the tips even I haven't a nikon d750 yet. Im planning to have it soon :(
After watching this it was incredibly helpful! I’ll be watching it several times to get everything.
Thank you Dave for a free flowing lively to the point tutorial. you are a lovely speaker and i learned quite a bit. Camera on the way. I will be replaying your video again. An absolute pleasure.
Thank you Dave.
Very welcome +Linda Morgan :)
Dave, I want to say thanks a MILLION! I just bought my D750 a few weeks ago and really found your tut to the point and very helpful. I don't think I would have gotten that many features regulated to my taste so quickly. My current issue is how to get that seamless look to video shots of moving subjects at about and under a 15 foot distance. Any ideas?
Thanks for watching and the kind words Chuck Hargrove. Re: Video. I find most ALL DSLR's need a LOT of help to get great, smooth footage. I'm no good handheld and bought a family camcorder just for taking stabilized video without bringing an entire tripod/dolly/slider rig around :) My video and photo gear is listed here, and the slider can be a big help if you're wanting to get pro-looking results for the minimum $$: notsoancientchinesecrets.com/?p=1633
Ok... so its not just me. Thanks again!
Great 'hands on' tips especially the 'one hand off' hacks, exactly the how and why's that make fellow D750 users very happy! THX!
I just picked up a D750 as an upgrade to my D300s. This video was very helpful in getting it setup.
My 750 arrived 3 days ago. Im looking for some help settings for shoot soccer in the night at stadium, Thanks!
Welcome Manuel Nieves ! Enjoy the Great camera :)
You sure do no your nikon ....great review
Just got my new D750. Thank you so much for the tutorial: very well made and very clear!
All the best for the festive season. Cheers
Thanks Dave! I've had my D750 for over a month now, and this video has helped me familiarize myself with my camera. Thanks a Billion....!
Welcome SATXDANCER ! Happy shooting :)
Great little instructional video. I'm getting a D750 within the next week and upgrading from a D200. Very useful tips here. Thanks Dave.
Thank you!!! Your video is 300% better than the manual. You explain each item in detail and so everyone can understand it and that is GREAT!! I have your video book marked and will use it as often as I need.
Glad to hear it +Les Hesley ! Happy shooting :)
getting my 750 today. I have a LOT to learn but thank God for the internet and shared knowledge! Thank you.
If you are an established NIKON user and you do not have the patience to dig into User's Manual? This is THE VIDEO to watch.
This is an overwhelmingly AWESOME video to use for NIKONIANS...And the NIKON newbies...
In fact, because of this video, I have become more proficient with my old NIKON D300 DSLR at the convenience of my D750.
Thank you Dave Cheug!
Cheers!
Best explanation of back button focusing. So quickly described but so easy to understand.. wow thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I just bought a D750 and setting it up has been an interesting experience. I have learned so much from this video. Super helpful!! Will be hitting it again and again to be sure I understand everything and set my body up optimally.
+Tiffinbox Glad to be of help! Cheers and happy shooting friend :)
after several more serious shooting, i found the settings are very practical and useful! thank you so much for sharing
I just bought a D750 for 2 days, this is helpful for me.
Thanks
Thank you, Dave. After mishaps or factory work on my camera, I always return to your tutorial to remind myself of your settings. You speak fast (!), but I'm happy it allows more content. Thanks for your work. Cheers
Happy to help! Think there's a 1/2 speed playback option here somewhere ;) Happy shooting!
The ISO shortcut vid button idea changed my shooting game dramatically. Thanks guys!!
One of the best tutorials hands down. I have two d800s but just bought a D750, so this tutorial was great to get a feel for the D750. Thank you for your time invested in this tutorial. G!d Bless as well.
Great to hear it helped you out! Cheers and happy shooting :)
Excellant! I have had this camera for over 18 months and still gat so very confused- this are now my u1 settings- so whenever i need to i can go back to Dave's settings to keep on photoing. Many thanks!
I just purchased the D750 today, so finding this tutorial has been super helpful! So many great things I hadn't considered before. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge, great help!
So glad you found it useful Hannah Maria ! Enjoy your new camera and happy shooting :)
Thanks, a lot of these setting make sense. I appreciate the time it took for you to create this aid.
One of the best videos I've used. I learned more from this than reading my manual. Well narrated and explained. Thanks from Downunder.
Welcome +steveparaglider thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :)
Thank you very much for this video men, im coming from the analog photography and i'm overwhelmed with the functions and menu from this camera, but you made it a lot better and gave me a lot of usefull input to work better with this camera.
Very nice video ! you gave answers to my 23 questions, which I couldn't find anywhere on the web
Great video. Thanks. I just ordered this camera to replace my older D610 and it will be here in a couple of days. I plan to watch again when it comes.
This is beyond super. Extremely helpful. I will watch it several times as needed. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!
johnellsphoto Thanks for watching and the kind words! So glad you found value in watching and Happy Shooting! :)
Dave, I just got this camera and this was extremely helpful for setting up the D-750
Hi Dave. I'd like to thank you for not only helping to make my decision on camera choice but also getting the most out of my d750 thanks a lot
Thanks for watching and the kind words Joel Thomas . Happy shooting and enjoy the camera!
What a seriously great video. Thank you so much. This is probably a years learning in a short video.
Excellent demonstration! Saved me a lot of digging through the manual. Thank you!
+Maciej Kania I'll drink to that!
Great tut, very informative. Just got my hands on a D750 in the last few days, having come from D700, D300, D70, F4. Very happy. Thanks Dave!
Congrats on the new cam intercuts! It's a beauty :) Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas!!
Good job explaining this! so clear and to the point. I come to this video every time and it's just that helpful. Thank you!
Brilliant video. Love the quality of the tips you share and also the fast, highly organized pace of the video!
Thanks +Stephan Vrudny ! Happy shooting :)
Just changed from Sony A99 to D750 and this awesome vid has made the transition a lot less painful than I though it was going to be. Can't wait to use my Nikon in anger. Thanks
Excellent information, love how you explain the reasons for the changes and what the different settings are. huge thanks!!
Very Welcome Roni Chastain and thanks for the kind words :) Happy shooting!
So helpful in setting up my new camera! Doesn't seem so daunting now. And I highly recommend back-button focus to anyone who is hesitant to give it a try. It is a total game-changer for tack-sharp images.
Glad to be of help in your journey +Diane Welter! Happy shooting :)
Absolutely phenomenal. Great content and straightforward delivery. I just bought a "new to me" D750 to shoot high school sports and these settings are a must. New subscriber from this content alone. Kudos.
Thanks for watching and the kind words 🙏
Thank you very much Dave....This is the best tutorial about this cam ever....and I got surprised about many tips you gave here!!!!!
Excellent! Saved me a lot of digging through the manual. Thanks!
