The BEST IN DEPTH COURSE OF D750. ❤ i bought the camera 2 years ago. Havent used it much bevause i didnt know 90% of its buttons/functions. This video really helped.
WOW...Thank you! Learned more pertinent information in such a short time vs. reading a D750 book and deciphering what to retain.. The only trouble I had in mirroring what you demonstrated with my own camera, I could not get my magnifying button to magnify in Live View. It does nothing. Any ideas?
Turn camera 'on' - choose 'Menu' button - Move the cursor on the left down to the pencil, then 'a' is Autofocus. Move cursor to 'Autofocus' and your choices are below.
Dear Mr Ralf, I really enjoyed your course about autofocus which helps in most of Nikon DSLR cameras not only the D750. You talk slowly which gives the time to follow your explanation and apply it on our cameras. Thanks you so much.
Hi Ralfs , I really appreciate your video and let me know which focus mode & number of focus point i have to chose if want to shoot a group of people let say from 3 to 10 ... Thanks
Being an English speaking person when I went to the web page it was in a different language and did me no good. Sorry, I do like the program in the video. I picked up some good stuff, thanks. I shoot sports mostly and I am learning more about this camera. I need a better lens though even thought the one I have does the job I need at least a F/2.8 for this Nikon, what would you suggest?
Thank you so much for the video. I’m planning to purchase my very first DSLR which is Nikon D750 along with 85mm 1.8 + 50mm 1.8 G lens. I’m wondering is it still worth to buy this camera considering 5 years old?. The concern I have is from D750 is - 1. Slower AF, 2. Shutter speed 1/4000 which is half the D780/Z6ii/Z5 1/8000. Are these show stopper for D750?. Purpose of buying a camera is for taking Portraits, Still, Landscape, Bird, Product photography (learning) and of course my kids. It would be really great if you throw some lights on my concern to make a wise decision.... other options I have considered is Nikon D780 with one of the lens and Z6ii with the kit lens... apart from D780 and Z6ii I have been suggesting to go with D850 with the kit lens. Thank you and looking forward to your suggestion.
I really enjoyed and learnt from your presentation, especially as you touched on many aspects that other do not such as your custom settings,' toggle on and off'. I would use this feature since i only have one hand to make changes. One question I would like answered is how and when to use the 'flat' feature, Is this to add to the dynamic range? I love my D750 for its superlative quick ocusing, low light abilities, image quality,SIZE, etc. I also bought the versatile24-120mm f4 kit lens that I use as a walk around lens for street photography.
flat feature is usually used for video because its easier to color grade when you start editing. For stills it doesn't matter if you shoot flat or not because when you shoot raw you can get all those details/colors back
+shuswaptoy The 'toggle on off' find was a great find! Although I am fortunate to have both hands to work with I prefer to keep a better grip on the camera especially with a longer lens mounted like the 70mm-200mm 2.8.
I try to make macro photography but my autofocus works very long time(about 5seconds) and very often dont catch the sharpness so i have to autofocus again and again.... Can You give me some advises how to fix it, please??
I setup my D750 for back button focus but when I hand my camera to someone who doesn't know about cameras, I want to quickly switch it back to have the shutter release button be the auto focus. I can't figure out where / how to set it back. Anyone know?
Not sure about Nikon. On Canon switch to 100% automatic (the little green box) will eliminate the back button focus setting. Likewise the custom modes can be set up to not use it, and you can switch to a custom mode.
MY LITTLE HACK: I found this video working best at its 1.5x speed. Double speed is a little challenging but on the other hand you can save 20 minutes watching the whole thing :)
Focus modes are one of the most confusing things to me on all of the Nikons I have had. Your tutorial helps so much and you go through it slowly and make it easy to understand. My goal is wildlife photography and frequently birds. Can't quite seem to get the sharpness I am after ... maybe I am expecting too much or my skills need sharpening...more..no pun intended...anyway. I will be reviewing and practicing this over and over until I totally get it. Thanks so much for taking the time to help all of us...your teaching skills are excellent.
lol. Autofocus Mode Settings must be one of the Worst Usability Experiences I've ever had. Seriously Nikon, you couldn't do worse if you tried. Thank god for this tutorial
Great tutorial! On the auto bracket it may be a good thing to show people how to get there camera out of it also. Just go into auto bracketing and change the number of exposures back to 0 witch takes you right out. Thanks again for the great video please do more in english.
Thanks for nice video easy to follow! Question on Nikon D750 Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 24mm f/1.8G ED Fixed Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR, when press the shutter the auto focus should rotate left & right correct?
Nice.... but I think I will wait for the D760 that has the shutter speeds boosted to where they should be on a camera of this caliber. I will be damn if I'll pay this price for a shutter that should be in a $500 camera.
On my Nikon D750 on the single focus mode for some reason I cannot move the square to indicate where I want the focus to be. I am using the navigation wheel on the camera any suggestions?
In 3D mode it does focus in the moving towards you/moving away from you dimension. That's why it is called "3D"... up/down, left/right, and towards/away.
beaugator - my D750 does not work with 3D focus tracking like it does with my D3, D700 and D800, and it causes poor focus and distortions. I can only use it at AF-S single point. Which makes it nearly useless compared with my pro bodies. It does work well in low lighting conditions so it resides in my car trunk just in case a nude female streaker is spotted. And great at family outings where I can get good pics of them eating.
I have focusing problem in my d750 When i want take pictures in portraits mode, remember i always use AUTO FOCUSING..when i half press shutter for focusing purpose(as usual i want focus at subject face) but after many time half press button,points alway never focus FACE,they always focus subject body..pls guide that what i do when i want exact focus at subject face..plss guide
At 12:38 you say the 3d autotracking only works when the subject is moving up/down or side to side, but not toward or away from the camera. Is this true? If it's in continuous focus mode, isn't it perpetually checking to make sure the subject is in focus? or does it only actively focus-search if the subject moves on the X & Y axes within the frame?
Let me tell how good auto focus on D750 is. I was invited to the my brother's 18th birthday party, he asked if I can take some photos for him with his friends, mainly group and portraits shots. At that time I just switched from DX (D5100) to FX (D750 my first FX camera) and I wasn't read manual and instructions for camera. Anyway I've charged battery, placed two SD 32GB cards and coupled D750 with 35mm 1.8G FX, 50mm 1.8G FX and SB-700 Speedlight. This is what accidentally happened to me, haven't being used to use 2 command dials I have switched focus mode from AF-S to AF-C mode and also by frequent changing from photo to video mode I have accidentally locked focus points. This was all in very dim and poor light. So I was on AF-C single point and 1 locked point before kids turn off almost all of the available light and started having fun. For some reason AF lamp on the speedlight nor the built in illuminator DO NOT WORK in AF-C mode plus I had just 1 focus point available witch made even more harder to take photos, and the available light was non existent due to kids having fun in pitch black environment. I have noticed that I couldn't find subject trough viewfinder but D750 had no problem to deliver good and focused photos, that's how good auto focus sensor on this camera is. In the break time I've googled with my phone "D750 focus points not moving, built in illuminator not working" and just like that solved problem, I thought that camera failed, at least software fail or so, but it was me who failed. In AF-C mode, AF speedlight lamp or built in illuminator will not work. If you notice that you can't move auto focus points, make sure that they are not locked.
Hi Ralfs, great video. I am trying to record video logs with my Nikon D750 using Nikon Lense AF S Nikkor 24-120mm F/4G ED VR and an H1 recorder as my shotgun microphone. I am the videographer and the subject. What I am trying to do is record myself but the problem I am running into is as the camera autofocuses it makes so much noise which is picked up by the microphone. I am trying to do on camera audio versus subject audio to reduce the post editing of audio after. I was wondering if you had any recommendations on either the best setting to eliminate the camera for constantly trying to autofocus or another way to reduce the focusing sound so it focuses quietly and the sound is not picked up by the shotgun microphone. Thank you for your help
Picky Picky Picky. It may sound like Out of Focus but I think most of us with a brain understood his meaning. I appreciate your video and speaking slowly to be able to work with the camera along with you.
Thanks for wonderful tips...good job... I have one question, what is your opinion about AE-L/AF-L button set for focusing button when i am using manual mode and shutter release button for only taking photos?
The best tutorial on Nikon D750
Nice to know that this camera is STILL relevant after all of these years..and I appreciate this video on Autofocus tips! Thanks

I have just found your tutorial on TH-cam. This is a brilliant tutorial. Very informative and at steady pace. Thank you
Hey Ralf. I am a bit of a "written manual dummy" so this video worked great for me. Now I have understood the AF settings.
WOW...Thank you! Learned more pertinent information in such a short time vs. reading a D750 book and deciphering what to retain.. The only trouble I had in mirroring what you demonstrated with my own camera, I could not get my magnifying button to magnify in Live View. It does nothing. Any ideas?

You are a great teacher..thanks a ton!!!
Explanation amazing and interpretation so great thanks alot to you
Great video. Thank you, Ralf.
Very helpful. Thank you
AF Area Mode in 3D is it works for panning photography?
Danke Rarf. Great tutorial.
Great video Ralf thanks!

Not sure about Nikon. On Canon switch to 100% automatic (the little green box) will eliminate the back button focus setting. Likewise the custom modes can be set up to not use it, and you can switch to a custom mode.
***** Set up one of the custom buttons U1 or U2 for when guests use your camera.
is it possible to change the autofocus field to be just a dot like the Nikon APSC models? I do'nt like the square.
Very informative.
Thank you ....Very informative indeed :)
I thought he was saying 'out of focus' this whole time. Makes more since knowing he's saying auto focus.
I need video AF...is there any option that D750 doesn't do the hunting...?
you need to press ok button to make square follow the area. I don't know how to make it auto-focus tho.
best tutorial thnx
I found that the face recognition was rather lacking on this camera. when you pull up on where it focused it was off.
Thank you !

MY LITTLE HACK: I found this video working best at its 1.5x speed. Double speed is a little challenging but on the other hand you can save 20 minutes watching the whole thing :)
nice! however you only save 10 minutes at 1.5x speed
2x will save 20 mins :)
way better! I almost fell asleep before I saw your comment. Great idea :)
Thank you!
Thank you. hahahaha
hahahah you made my day ty
nearly 9yrs old and still very helpful. thank you for the effort and the sharing. i remain a fan of the D750. thumbs up.
Helpful tutorial. I just keep hearing out of focus instead of auto focus :) just funny
Cristian Mihai yep, I was like WDH
Dude, I know my camera so much better after watching your video. Thank you!
I keep hearing "Out of Focus" even though I know he is saying Auto-Focus.
you have a problem with your ears. Just be thankful this man is sharing his knowledge. Instead of critiquing, make your own video!
Me too!!!
I was watching with the sound down and it was captioning it as out of focus!
Honestly this is one of the best videos I've found so far on focusing with d750! I learned so much from you in these 40minutes! Thank you so much :)
Many years after its release, the Nikon D750 is still a great camera. One of the best out there in many areas and also bang for buck!
Focus modes are one of the most confusing things to me on all of the Nikons I have had. Your tutorial helps so much and you go through it slowly and make it easy to understand.

I think this is one of the best videos I have seen on D750. Awesome explanations. Thanks very much
Then you haven't seen Tony Northrup's video
Stop repeating everything you say 3 times. Not only is it annoying but it makes the video 3x as long as it needs to be.
+David Sanders Sorry for raging. Nice tips though.
lol. Autofocus Mode Settings must be one of the Worst Usability Experiences I've ever had. Seriously Nikon, you couldn't do worse if you tried.

This was honestly THE most educational video. I’m so glad I found it. I’m definitely a better photographer after watching this. Thank you.
Nice.... but I think I will wait for the D760 that has the shutter speeds boosted to where they should be on a camera of this caliber. I will be damn if I'll pay this price for a shutter that should be in a $500 camera.
My nikon d750 is not working the AF- area mode and the focus mode. And the autofocus mode is not working, can anyone help me out to fixed it.
On my Nikon D750 on the single focus mode for some reason I cannot move the square to indicate where I want the focus to be. I am using the navigation wheel on the camera any suggestions?
Just use the back button auto focus continuous --- and it is continuous as long as you hold the button on.........so simple!
Thank you sir for your great explanation. I am more clear for a lot of things D750 especial monochrome green
Totally incorrect about 3D tracking. It works on the X, Y and Z axis which is why it's called 3D FOCUS.
thanq.....sir.this video very useful me...i think the best video....for beginning photographers
Ralf, do you have any instruction videos on how to shoot video with this camera?
Hi Sir ,I learnt a lot from your explanation on Nikon camera D750❤❤❤❤❤
In 3D mode it does focus in the moving towards you/moving away from you dimension. That's why it is called "3D"... up/down, left/right, and towards/away.

Hi,after pressing the AF button menu is not appearing :( is there any camera manufacturing issue?
Just got this camera - and your video was GREAT for helping me learn my camera faster - thank you!
Thanks Ralf, this was Really good, well spent 40 minutes. I strongly recommend!
Very much appreciated. Haven't played with the focus settings in so long. Forgot a lot how to set some of these up. 👍
This is a really helpful tutorial. Thanks for doing this in English too!
How do you remove the green square completely off the screen?
Tip: set the video to 1.5x speed for the speech to be at a normal rate
Isn´t AF-F mode working just in the video mode?
Task you very much for you super professional help.

Thanks for wonderful tips...good job... I have one question, what is your opinion about AE-L/AF-L button set for focusing button when i am using manual mode and shutter release button for only taking photos?
Are you sure that only left-right movement is tracked in 3D mode, and not front-back movement? I guess it tracks all movement.
is 3d tracking or face detection better for portraits? I'm not still enough to get single point mode to work on portraits at 2.8, let alone 1.8
I don't usually comment, but this helped me so much and you were so very clear about what buttons you were pressing. Thank you, thank you.
Amazing video! It helps a lot.
