Nikon and DSLR camera tutorials, guides and reviews. If you need help using your Nikon Dslr camera, then I will guide you through learning the controls and functions. I will also explain the fundamentals of photography such as ISO, aperture and Shutter speed.
Want to learn how to use manual mode on your camera, I will explain how to set a correct exposure using your camera's exposure meter and mode dial.
Eleven years later and this information still holds, I’m new to photography and got a bit discouraged by this model camera and my low level capabilities. But this video helps me learn, function and navigate a little better! Thank you!
Hi Chayla, same with me. How is it going now? Have you made photo's? alsoI felt so intimidated and confused by the camera and all the settings. But luckily I found Tom's video :) Thanks to you Tom I feel enthusiastic again. Thank you so much. I will watch part 2 too. Tom, may I please ask a little thing? The screen very quickly goes to black. Is there a possibility to change that? Thank you. I wish you both a beautiful week ahead, with lots of creativity and beautiful photos. Kind regards from Amsterdam :)
I just bought this camera today i hope i will do justice to this camera and take good pics😊
Just trying to learn something this quarantine with my camera I haven’t used for a long time. I’m only halfway of your video but I’ve already learned so much.
Glad it's helping you!
Hey there Joyce! I’m the same! I’ve had my camera for quite some time. It’s about time I used it properly! Thank you Tom for such an informative session. Hubby and I plan to do a photo shoot in the near future. 🤗🤗🤗
How do u get the flash to pop up
Same :)
Same, My dad's old camera back to life!
I'm just starting out in photography, and I found this extremely helpful. Thank you!
Me too

Same .. I'm a complete novice. A friend upgraded and gave me some of her old gear to learn with.
U SPEAK SO WELL THAT ANYBODY CAN UNDERSTAND ... THANKS...
TOTALLY
Finally someone who makes sense ! Thank you so so much. I've watched so many tutorials for beginners but no one explained it like you did. This is exactly what I needed ! Thank you !
I bought my camera D3100 yesterday for practicing and this 9 years old video helps me a lot!! Thank you so much for uploading this 9 years ago ❤️
A good friend recommended this camera for me and after seeing your video I completely understand why he did!
I love that the camera clearly states what pictures you may take in the easy mode. It allows you time to become comfortable with actually using it and to work your way up to an advance level. Thank you so much for this detailed video!
Just want to thank you for the time you spent, and great detail you put into these D3100 videos, i just got my first dslr , after using a point and shoot for many years,i was really nervous about learning all that it has to offer, and not being able to pick it up and get my moneys worth, but your videos are really helping me understand not just this camera, but more importantly how to use it and get a really nice photo.
Just purchased it online. This is the most helpful video among any other d3100 tutorial videos. You just tell us straight basic thing on how to take a good photo.
Just got this camera from my parents who were not using it. Excellent tutorial! Huge thanks for making this simple and covering all the basic operational features. You rock!
It’s ok, but not amazing. Use it until you find its weakness, don’t upgrade just for the sake of it though.
I've had my D3100 for a few months and the longer I have the camera and practice with it, I learn a little more. I've watched this video before and today have watched it twice and everything makes so much sense now! Tom does an excellent job of teaching and I will refer to this tutorial when I need it. Good job Tom!
Thanks Tom. Got one from my wife for Christmas and never used a DSLR before and your guides are brilliant.. Love the camera too!
Thank you for making this video! I am borrowing a D3200 and trying to learn as much as I can about it before my trip. Ultimately, I would want to take a proper beginner photography class, but for now your video is the best I've seen so far! Thank you!
I just want to say it's very kind of you to share your knowledge and time with us all. I'm sure so many of us are having that , "Ahhhh that's how it works. lol" moment.
Thanks so Much :)
OMG I just inherited this camera from my son and I didn't even know how to turn it on. Thank you for this and I look forward to the next tutorial.
Thank you so much. I bought this camera off a coworker and wasn't quite sure how to maneuver through the settings. This video was extremely helpful.
got my dads old camera for my birthday and had no clue how to use it. 12 years later and these videos have helped me dramatically
Glad much younger me could help!
You are a great teacher and explained everything so lucidly that I feel that I can go straightway to take good pics. Thank you so much. After this, I will go thru the other guides also thanks to you.
Thanks Tom - as a beginner, this was a great intro going through the initial features etc. Will start on part 2 now. Cheers Richie
Thank you so much. I was used to a film camera, but this has been so helpful in understanding all those functions I did not. I found that I could not seem to get what I wanted when I wanted it. I am very grateful now I can start all over.
I've just watched your tutorials on The Nikon D3100 DSLR, I've found them so easy and informative, I watched, Nikon D3100 DSLR basic beginner tutorials parts 1-4, thank you.
No problem, glad they helped!
Great value in this video. Thanks for creating it. I have this camera now in 2024 and am just getting around to DSLR competency.
Just received one as a gift, it’s my first camera. Thanks for the video.
This is the first video I found that tells you how to actually work with the camera, other video's are for experienced people. Thank you!
Thank you show me about learning how to use a digital camera, love it.
I am a beginner and I am looking forward to doing photography
Such a brilliant video. Just scored one of these off Facebook with an additional zoom lens and all accoutrements; cannot wait to go photograph traffic tomorrow
love that u just get right to it and it’s super clear and easy to understand! Thanks! Gonna send my mom the video too. we’re both trying to learn. this will hopefully bring us closer so thank you!
Great video. Thank you for not having any distracting background music as you instruct us. Very nicely done.
thanx so much...it was very informative for a beginner like me.
Thank you so much Tom, your video was SO helpful to me. I just received one about a month ago and I have been taking pix but wasn't sure about all the dials and settings. So just watching this has helped me a lot!! :-)
You explain so well with good speed and clear audible voice. Thanks. Plz put more videos Sir. Xx
My mom has had this camera for 6 years when this video was posted and I want to get into photography because I'll also be doing art soon so this helps a lot thanks ☺️💞
Same!
This video was really helpful, I just picked up mine today (used) and already used it for a shoot, thanks for the advice
Thank you for this. You have explained the functions very well. As a bit of a techno-phobe, I feel comfortable using my camera now.
I was feeling bad about my purchase until I watched the video. it was a big help! thanks!
Thank you so much... And a Video so well done! - A wonderful step by step demonstration for someone who is unfamiliar with the complexities of the NIKON D3100.
Just bought a D3100 today, awesome camera and the video was a great help
I'm getting this camera and am one step ahead with the videos. So glad they are here!
Thank you!!
Just got this yesterday from my brother after he bought his new cam, it's my turn now to start. Thanks for this video!
Good luck! Still a highly capable camera even after all these years. You'll love it.
Thanks for this! I just bought it today and its brilliant! I'm taking a photography A-level course so this will come in handy :D
Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed to get started. I was about to purchase an entire new camera for recording video. THANK YOU!
I am a total beginner, my experience being limited to my iPhone and cheap digital cameras. This was very helpful. Thank you! Looking forward to your other videos. :)

Thank you that was an excellent beginner lesson, looking forward to part 2
Thanks so much for this tutorial. I just decided my next camera will be the Nikon 3100 and it will be my first DSLR. So thanks again for explaining some of the basic functions.
Ignore my first comment. My question have been answered by your video. Thank you so much. Thats really help
This video is 10 years old, I just bought a Nikon 3100, a complex machine. But I have learned something from this, thank you.
Very good videos Tom, seen the first two and the back focus video.
I'm very glad that you pointed out that,the first few pictures you take won't be very good.
Because I thought there was something wrong with the camera!
Thanks for these very informative videos, I was going to go on a photography course.
But don't think I need to after viewing your videos, look forward to viewing the rest.
I didn’t have much idea on how to use my camera, but after this video I think I’ve figured it out-thanks so much for this video
My pleasure!
Recently i got this Camera, And by this video, i could learn almost the camera settings. I'm up with it now, and thanks for this very, very basic basic operations.
New to cameras and just purchased this one thanks very much for the brilliant guide really helped me....
I always wanted to get into photography but always made the excuse not to. My friend passed away and she left me with a red version of one of these cameras to start what I wanted to do years ago but I had no idea what I was doing with it haha. I know it's an old video but still helping people! Thank you sir.
I'm sorry for your loss. Hopefully you can make great use out of it, such a lovely and thoughtful gift from your friend. If you have any questions, just let me know.
Enjoyed the tutorial. Very helpful . Thank you for taking the time to post.

Nikon should give you commission mate. Looking for my first DSLR and this vid has sold me on this camera. Wonderful tutorial. Thank you.
I wish they would!
I've had this camera for years and only learning now how to use it, i hope it still works quite nicely
just bought my first dslr,Great vid and gained a grateful sub^^
Thank you for this excellent video! I wish i would have watched this when i first purchased my D3100. I've read through the manual several times, but your video was much more helpful. I am very excited to better understand the "A" setting on the dial. I understand apperature but was having a hard time figuring out how to control it! You should be having Nikon pay you for your helpful video! Thanks!
I just purchased a Nikon D3100 this was very helpful

Thanks so much for doing these videos. Cameras and optics are totally alien to me, but I'm trying hard to learn. Text sources only go so far. These videos are the perfect pace and I really appreciate your choice of content too. :) Thanks again man.
SushiSymphony Thanks!
I really appreciated this little tutorial. Thank you so much!
Yes there is. Go to the spanner icon and select reset setup options. You can also go to the shooting menu which is the camera icon and select reset shooting options for a soft reset.
thanks i enjoyed your video to help me with this camera. i did not understand what all the buttons and knobs were but you made this so much easer thanks.
Just got the camera and have no clue regarding usage. Thanks for the tips. Very helpful!

Great tutorials, really helpful. Thanks
Thank you, Tom. This is very helpful.
This was soooo good. This was more than I’ve gotten from anywhere else. I hope there is a lot more or maybe be able to reach out to you. I have this camera that was given to me because I’ve shown interest in photography. THANKS AGAIN!!!!
There are a few more d3100 videos and general photography technique and theory videos. I always try to answer questions, but I haven’t owned a d3100 for many years so I’m a bit rusty on specific details
@@TomPhotoix It all helps so I’ll be in touch and if u can help, I would be most appreciative. If not, no worries!!!
