- froknowsphoto.c... Click Here to check out the 3 Hour Video Guide to help you get out of Auto.
If you picked up a Nikon D5100 or you are considering your first DSLR camera check out this video. This is a very basic run through of the basic features of the buttons of this camera.
This is part 1 and in part two I will discuss some of the menus and other features.
8 years later, still no part 2. Procrastination Level = Master! 😏
Hahahah
Hahahah
im still waiting 8 years later...
Hahaha i really needed part 2
Part 2 is going to be EPIC!!!
As an beginner in photography I've bought this camera few days ago as my 1st dslr camera, searched yt for quick tips and so on, found this video, noticed badass hairstyle in the rule of the third, instantly subscribed.
I ordered my d5100 and will probably get it by tomorrow.
SWEET!!
So Fro why didn't you do part 2? I just bought this camera and am pleased with it. The more info I have the more I understand the capabilities of my camera. Were you unimpressed with it?
NEED PART TWO PLEEZE
My d5100 is waiting for me to use more than 25% of it's features. :-)
just picked up mine... fully loaded with tripod extra zoom lens 2nd battery, nikon case ... i m now charging battery... cant wait to turn it on
Was Canon REBEL t3i better? Or it was not? Thank you, J!
Hey Jarod, Im thinking of getting a camera do you thing the Panasonic lumix Fz100 is a good camera as it has a very good zoom and has the manual functions which i think is a good way to learn before getting a DSLR and also for the money.
Thanks
How do you zoom in when taking a picture if you are trying to get a close up? I know that sounds stupid, but this is my first "nice" camera and I cant figure it out. Most camera's have a zoom in or out button and it auto focuses the shot. When I try to zoom in, it just takes the shot regularly as if I didn't zoom.
so D 5100, 3200 or D 90 please advise
What did you film this with? :O
Does the camera have a digital or mechanical shutter?
Nice job thanks,!
part two please :)
@JaredPolin really? thanks man!
still waiting for part 2 :D XP
Don't tell people there is a PART 2 when there is no part 2. Otherwise thanks for the "intro".
@ashkibala1 it is possible it showed up in your spam filter, if you e mail me i will get you the link along with sending me the address u used/
The d5100 is a great grab-and-go camera that can produce excellent results. Love mine.
Peace.
Hi Jarod,
Very informative! thank you.
Where is part two? I can't seem to find it.
@TheDirekChew are u shooting in auto modes or manual, with the 2.8 lens and even the kit lens you should be able to stay away from grain for the most part.
@kasunbnd of course it is, the back dial controls your shutter speed, than holding down that plus minus and rotating the back dial will control your f stop, ISO u may be able to program in one of the function buttons.
Thanks a lot for this video.
But where is the second part ? :(
@JemFTL image quality will be better than the d90 at this point. but auto focus will prob lack slightly.
Check out the web site and sign up for the email list for a FREE guide to capturing motion in low light situations. Its pretty much a killer concert guide.
Whatever camera you go with will be the best option. Just pick one and start shooting.
@romewoods well a zoom is a better every day but the 35 is a great learning lens.
thank you very much!!! I am sure your going to dig it.
Thank you. Be sure to check out my new 3 hour long video guide that is coming out in the next few weeks.
Dude is 9 year now😂😂 still waiting
I have had my D5100 for almost 3 years now, and I still learned at least 5 new things just from this video along. Subscribed!
@kasunbnd dont be concerned, its pretty simple to set these things you wont miss anything. most times your not going to need to rapidly change your ISO so dont worry just go shoot.
Hi there, there is no part two but you can check out the beginners guide it will be much more effective in helping you learn photography.
I don't see part 2. Where is it?
I was wondering same thing
Part 2 Never came
7 years later... :P
I've been using the camera for well over two years now and have learned it just about inside out. If anyone has any questions about where to find certain features or recommendations for certain settings I'd be happy to help
hey man , i need advices
@@putDIZONyourface What advices can I give
@samcohanun sweet good luck have fun!!!
@MrNerdity no it does not.
Great video!! Can't find part 2 though.
you should put a link for part 2..... please i need it so much!!
ideally you shouldnt delete images on the camera.
nice good luck.
@joibu no boxes are sealed so ur ok.
I spent 10 minutes searching TH-cam for part 2 and I thought there is something with my phone for not showing it until I red the comments on this video to realize that my phone is fine 🤣
I still don't get my camera :/
Americans seem to pronounce it as 'Ni-Kon'. Whereas, the British: 'Nik-Kon'.
That's actually how they market it here in the USA. Look up the commercials.

All of a sudden I have a bunch of Free Time to learn how to use that camera in the closet. #PositiveCOVIDMoment
Just wanted to say thanks so much for this video - just got the camera, my first dslr and this was so helpful. Cheers from the forests of Tasmania :-)
Went through with stopping and rewinding a few times and info was very useful. thank you!! Looking forward to part two and the 3 hour one!
Jared, I just wanted to thank you, Your videos have given me the courage to finally pick up my first DSLR. I have been researching and watching your videos over the past 2 months and just bought the Nikon D5100. Next is to get Lightroom and try my hand at some of your RAW edits of the week, and maybe one day my pictures might be good enough to be a featured photo. Thanks again and I look forward to all of your videos!
Who else is watching this video in 2021
23 here
I love your stuff, but I have a small critique/idea: I think 'The Photo Fro' rolls off the tongue wayyy better than 'Fro Knows Photo', and it has a sort of tongue-and-cheek fro/pro pun that's a little subtle but appropriate -- DO IT! Things that are simpler and catchy..catch on. Market yourself!! :)
Hi, nice video. Help me with a problem. I have this nikon d5100 camera, but the last video I made, I can't transfer it via cable, as usual. I don't know what the problem is ... , It only transfers my pictures. Tears don't transfer them.can you help me?
Thanks.
Hey Jared, I just recently bought my first DSLR which is this camera and I have to say Im addicted to your videos and I just want to say thank you for taking so much time to do this for people. There is few who would really do it and your a really cool dude. Your Mom would be so proud of you and thats no doubt. As we say in ireland, your some guy for one guy! Thanks again buddy!
Where can I find part 2?
Don't place a screen protector on the LCD screen? What? I've got micro scratches now and I only had it for about 3 weeks
Ok I know this is an old post so not sure if anyone will answer especially since I guess part 2 never came out, however I have this camera and I don't use it much, but took it out today, took some shots, downloaded them to my computer and tried to send them to someone, but the file ext. was NEF, not a jpeg file and I forgot how to convert it to a jpeg so if anyone see's this and can help me I'd appreciate it....Thanks
This is a great video! Thanks so much for sharing, it's really taught me a lot of things I wasn't sure about. Cheers dude, keep up the great work! 😀
Thanks. I#ve not long got my D5100.
This sort video has been of help.
Now Subscribed to get more info on this camera.......
Just ordered this off Amazon. Really excited. I'm a beginner. Hope I've made the right choice.....
Same here. How's it been working out for you? I just started this weekend.
since you both know stuff is there a little screw hole in the bottom to mount the camera?
+James Dobson yes there is
Destin Briggs alright thanks
I know this video is 7 years old, but you didn't mention anything about the external flash connection on the top.
9 Years later and still no part 2 ... what happened dude? You seemed so excited
At 10:35 -- how do you set the function button to change ISO? I've been trying to figure out how to program the button to do so ...
Thank you for posting this. Just purchased
I'm getting one tomorrow how is it holding up so far??
never trust a photo video without 1080p
I've noticed that in some of my nikon shots there is a considerable amount of noise or grain. Any way to limit that? I am shooting in raw
Thanks Jared, you really are the best! And so helpful. I've watched probably about 20 or more of your videos so far and I love them all, and look forward to the rest! You are funny, smart, lively and adorable. Keep up the good work and thanks again for all you are doing for us beginners and photographers in general. xxoo
Hey very nice tutorial man,if you go to cinema dont forget to put your hat on if not half of the cinema screen will be missing with your hair
This clip is from a long time ago, but can you tell me how to take black and white pictures?
Jared buddy o'l pal you ever done any astrophotography I've seen people claim this DSLR can get shots of the night sky I dunno if you ever tried to take pictures of the night sky in a really dark sky before but someone claimed you can take pictures in the night sky with this camera. True or would you need a different lens then the stock lens? I'm looking for a decent DSLR under the $500 which is a tight budget for me but I kinda wanted a camera like this because of it's rotating screen
Cant stop staring at hair.
Tyris Jordan beats brains!
yey jared! Im becoming a big photography fan cause of your videos, so entertaining!!
Up up down down left right left right B A B A select start.
Part two?
My brothers camera lens is made for up close shots. It's zoomed in a lot by default no matter if I try to zoom out. I was messing with it and it's out of focus now and it won't focus on things far away. How can I auto focus or manually focus. I have the d5100 btw
How do you use a external monitor with a Nikon D5100 DSLR so you use the external monitor instead of the image finder on the camera while it’s recording ? I have tried to record but it switches back to the View finder on the camera .
I'm a newbie when it coms to videography and, I have a Nikon d5100. I'm playing around with it to learn how to best use it for my youtube videos. I don't know if I accidentally changed the features but when I'm in video mode, it tends to stop after like 20 seconds, and I have to start over again. How can I fix this problem? Also, the sound is not the greatest. I was interviewing someone and there is some feedback noise. How far/close from the person should the camera be for best sound? To achieve better sound, what type/brand of external mic do you recommend for this camera? Thanks so much for your helpful videos.
And never mind about the external sound options. You mentioned those in the video. Thank you.
Since you don't recommend using the kit lens, what lenses do you recommend buying for this camera?
I have this one and I LOVE it! www.amazon.com/Tamron-18-270mm-3-5-6-3-All-In-One-Cameras/dp/B004FN1W2I/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1385874027&sr=8-4&keywords=tamron+lens
Hailey Nelson Thanks for the recommendation. Got any sample pictures with that lens that I could check out?
WarVideo I just uploaded an album to Google+ plus.google.com/u/1/113912113838530089909/posts
Hey man! Where's part two?
hello hello!!! Jared, I purchased my D5100 a year ago and after listening to your controversy over jpeg vs raw files I have decided I want to be a dedicated RAW file photographer. Dilemma, I have done this once and switched back because I didn't know how to convert my files. I can not remember how I originally done this. Can you help me? Greatly Appreciated :)
I bought the Canon 650D and wasnt impressed with the low light performances so Im going to take it back and get this Nikon D5100
Hi,I have a nikon d5200 with 18-55 vr lens,bt when I take pictures they are clear and sharp but can you tell me how to get that blur background with only the object highlighted,I get such images only if I the object is close by or I take close up pictures
renvik almeida What ***** is saying is true but you can get that bokeh in certain situations with kit lenses (starter lenses) like the 18-55mm. I'm guessing it's something like 3.5-5.6 in aperture range. You can get that kind of bokeh if you're shooting your subject at close range, or you're zoomed in tightly on your subject, while your subject is a fairly good distance away from the background. But to get the bokeh you're talking about easily in different situations you need a lens that goes to a really wide aperture like 2.8, 1.8 or wider. The wider your aperture the smaller your depth of field is, meaning that more of your subject is in focus and your background blurs out nicely.
Where is Part II?? Ya' left me hangin' Jared! I can't fro-give you now...I'm fro-strated!
does your nikon d5100 come with a sealed box? i ordered mine online and it ain't sealed. pls share your experience. thanks!
Hey what should I do if both battery’s arnt turning the camera on?
dat hairs
@13esai i've got the D5100 and i think that T3i is better for video, but hey, both are full hd cameras (i think, at least D5100 is), if you only want them for the video, then buy a VIDEO camera
What's a "Niiiiii" kon? Sorry neverheard.
I use a Nikon D5100 with a 18mm-55mm and a 55mm-300mm lens. I take photos of high school sports indoor and outdoor. My Nikon 55mm-300 lens seems like it's not improving the photos of indoor sports and events. I am a beginner photographer who is learning about photography in school. I am looking for a lens that can do more zoom and focus. I have used 55mm-300mm for over a year now. Anyone have ideas for a lens upgrade from a basic 55mm-300mm lens? Under $5000.00. A Nikon, Sigma or Tamron lens???
Thanks FRO GUY!! I just got a Black Friday sale [Nikon D5100 16.2 MP Digital SLR Camera (with 18-55 mm Lens) and 55-200 mm f/4.0-5.6G AF-S DX VR Telephoto Zoom Nikkor Lens] for $699 at Dell and downloaded the manual to try and get to know it before it got here... I had a panic attack, since I didn't know squat about the Nikons...until I came to your video!! Thanks for taking the time, and I guess you don't have a part II?? that you were mentioning in the video?? Oh, well, thanks 4 this video
It is for deleting pictures off your memory card. Press the play button to view your pictures on the screen, then the ones you don't want press the trash can (or bin button if you are English!) and it will ask you if you are sure? then press it again to delete picture. Be careful because when its gone its gone, I always load all pictures on to the laptop as there you can have a proper look at the picture, then delete from camera. Hope this helps.
@Wes2299 The "don't buy Nikon" comment was a joke, duh! You obviously have a hard time understanding what I write, cannot discuss matters like an adult and can only write silly internet slang comebacks. I do not hate Nikon, but rather hate people who idolize just beacause. I recognize strenth and weaknesses in every brand and camera. Now if that's too many big words for you, go read a dictionary.
Doesnt really go by the size of the sd card, sd cards have a class number on them and class 10 being the best
HDMI or HDMI mini ?
hey! iv'e been pretty used to using a nikon d5000 which was my friends. i just have 1 question. when i would use my friends d5000 i remember being able to turn the dial to auto & being able to take photos fast with the flash. with my d5100 it seems to be really slow when i have it on auto & click the release button. can you please help me out?
ISO is the sensivity of the light sensor in other words how much light will the sensor feel when you open your shutter. Bigger the number more light on the sensor but also more noise on your picture.
You have to check the balance between light and noise, I keep myslef under ISO400 because my camera sensor gives too much noise in higher ISO's
Hello there, are you familiar with "Photo SFXart Tricks" (just google it)? On their website you will find a smart free video demonstrating the right way to create outstanding pictures. This made it easier for Joe to shoot pictures that leave you with a jaw-dropping-effect whenever you take a look at them. Perhaps it will help you also...
@eightdomingo Hey, how's it goin man. The f1.8d is a canon lens and won't fit a Nikon body without an adapter as for the 70-300mm, I wouldnt worry about getting that until you've developed. Lenses without auto focus are usually for photographers who want precision. My suggestion would be to develope a style before investing. The d5100 comes with a great lens as well! :)
This may be a stupid question, but when did this camera come out? Should I go out and get one or does nikon release new cameras every year like Apple does with their computers? I currently own a D40 and have had it for a few years, but have recently begun to take more pictures. Thanks for your insight Greatly appreciated. Dope Fro btw.
Just got my D5100 this past week. So far i love it. I have one question: I'm using an older telephoto zoom lens that says it's AF but i can't seem to get the AF working. I understand that it's possible that some old AF lenses don't fully work with the D5100...how can I tell if that's what i have, and is there a workaround? THANKS A BUNCH FRODUDE
Dear Jared, I'm currently using a D5100 with a 18-55mm and a 35mm 1.8. I'm using my camera mostly for family vacation and taking pictures of my kid. I really wants to keep it to a 2 lense set up, but wants a little bit more reach. Would you recommend the Nikon 18-200 or maybe the tamron 18-270 pzd to go with the 35 1.8 for my D5100?
Hi, whether Nikon D5100 as a second new camera will be better than the d90? my first was a d60 and after 2 years of shooting I want to change it to something better
