This is literally my absolute first Nikon! It was gifted to me, first thing I spent 39 minutes figuring was how to back button focus and now I'm trying to figure out how to turn off the stupid exposure preview. So far I'm impressed with this camera
Excellent, Ralf! I’ve owned a D7100 for 4 years, and yet I learned new things from your video (using the Fn button to set the horizon in the viewfinder, for example). Thank you for a very helpful video!
Thank you, I really appreciate the tips, I just brought my D7100 last week and executed the setup, but have not gone beyond that phase of working with the camera, you make me feel more at ease and now I'm ready to dive in!!!!
Ralfs Foto-Bude, Thank you for this informative info.I just received my D7100 in the mail this past weekend. Was intimidating for sure with all the buttons, dials, screen info. and the thick Nikon Manuel that I have been reading. I look forward to more of your videos. again... Thanks!
britaniclaus Sounds like you want a hands on tutorial on how to use your camera. Read the manual, check out some TH-cam videos. Basically put some work into learning your camera. This will help you out in the end.
Erstaunliche Video und sehr hilfsbereit. Your accent is wonderful and I really enjoyed listening to you. You taught me so many new things and I will watch this again. Dankesehr Freund.
We bought this precious thing today. We waiting while it's battery is charging. Cool video, can't wait to test all cool things :) Thank you for all information :)
I have really loved this video on photography and Nikon D7100 tricks. I have been using D3200 and D5000 for some times now. But I got a D7100 as a Birthday gift from my daughter and the setting are slightly different. This video has done great as the operation manual that came with the camera was totally confusing. Thank you
Thank you for this video. I have just got myself a D7200 (immaculate condition with a shutter count of 546) and love it. All set up but was not sure how to set bracketing and confused with the mirror up setting. I enjoy long exposure so this has helped me a lot. Thanks.
I upgraded from D300s to D7100 and this video helped me to shorten the learning curve. It would be really great if you can do a video on recommended lenses for D7100. Thank you for this excellent overview.
I'm also planning to upgrade from D300s to D7100 so I would like to know what is your experience with D7100? Are you satisfied with it's performances? tnx
Petkovic Dusan Yes I am very satisfied with the IQ of the D7100. The only thing where D300s is better than D7100 is the buffer size for continuous shooting mode (you read about this in lots of review); apart from this D7100 is an excellent camera in every way. As I do wildlife, macro, nature and landscape photography, this camera serves my need best compared to FX camera. Also it's lighter than D300s so easy to travel with. If you are like one of those who are concerned about high ISO noise then you will be pleased with the ISO performance of D7100 over D300s. However, high ISO performance is not a criteria for me to buy a camera, and nor for many of my pro photographer colleagues. Since you are planning to upgrade to D7100 please do also consider getting a good lens to get the most out of D7100 (if you already don't have one). I suggest you read the review on Dxo Mark - link provided below. Which lens for D7100? Very good review from Dxo Mark: www.dxomark.com/en/Reviews/Best-lenses-for-the-24-Mpix-Nikon-D7100-Wide-angle-and-primes-and-zooms. Good luck
Lol...it does sound like "out of focus", instead of autofocus but, no big deal. Very nice video. Watched it until the end. Got some great tips. I especially liked the one at the end about assigning the function key for the artificial horizon in the viewfinder. Just now set my 7100 function key to exactly that. Thank you!
Such an excellent video. It is one of the best . if not the best, that i have watched. I now have a greater understanding of my D7100. Thank you. PS: I second the comment below made by Rasta Gideon.
video very interesting and well done. I have to decide whether to buy a D7100 or D600. I am an enthusiast photographer tempted by the full-frame, but after your movie are very indecisive. What do you recommend?
Thank you, very helpful video. Which lenses do you recommend for the D7100? I have the 35mm f1.8. I am prepared to spend more, to get a lens that will do the D7100 justice. Pref one multi purpose lens, but all the zooms I've looked at, seem to have less than stellar reviews. Would like to be able to capture far away scenes/objects, and general walking around shooting street scenes, people whatever... May have to settle for either a not so fantastic zoom, or walking around with 2 or 3 lenses?
A point of interest I would like to add that your viewers might find helpful, is that when in single point AF mode, hitting the OK button on the 4 way toggle will bring you back immediately to the center AF square.
Congratulations for the video. Well I've a Nikon D7100 and I noticed that the lights indicator at the bottom of the viewfinder (inside the camera not in the display) are not lighting enough, too much weak and I prefer using that reading than take out the camera of my face to check in the display, what I mean, is there a possibility to increase the lights to get it better??
I loved the video, very helpful, I was trying to setup my sb-900 with the d7100, but I cant manage to find the settings on the camera to do so, Could you please help.. Would mean alot :)
Great video, and yeah, the first time I heard it, I stumbled slightly. That's about my hearing, though, not your speech. It does not take away anything from your video. Great work. Were you using a mirror for changing settings or live video feed from the camera itself?
I just bought D7100.. am a lazy person to read manuals, this upload save my sanity. THANK YOU so so much for this "spoken manual".
This is literally my absolute first Nikon! It was gifted to me, first thing I spent 39 minutes figuring was how to back button focus and now I'm trying to figure out how to turn off the stupid exposure preview. So far I'm impressed with this camera
Excellent, Ralf! I’ve owned a D7100 for 4 years, and yet I learned new things from your video (using the Fn button to set the horizon in the viewfinder, for example). Thank you for a very helpful video!
Very very good video showing the functions of the camera. Helped me deciding on buying this camera! Thanks a lot!
I just bought the D7100 and this video has helped me a lot. I really appreciate it.
You only can say you know something well when you are able to transmit the exactly information to others and I think you done it greatly Ralfs!!!
Thank you, I really appreciate the tips, I just brought my D7100 last week and executed the setup, but have not gone beyond that phase of working with the camera, you make me feel more at ease and now I'm ready to dive in!!!!
Than you Ralfs....
I bought the D7100 last week and I am honest, I was put off by the number of buttons...
You video makes it so simple to use.
One of the best exhibits on this camera well done ralf
Your video combined with the user manual have helped to get me started with my new D7100 very effectively. Vielen Dank für Ihre Bemühungen!
Ralfs Foto-Bude, Thank you for this informative info.I just received my D7100 in the mail this past weekend. Was intimidating for sure with all the buttons, dials, screen info. and the thick Nikon Manuel that I have been reading. I look forward to more of your videos. again... Thanks!
Really useful. I learnt more by watching the video than reading the user manual !!
Thanks Ralf for this video as it has given me some info that I didn't have and things I didn't know how to do.
Dave
Great video. I just bought my D7100 last week and this visual sure is better that reading through a 351 page manual.
I got my D7100 today and i can't seem to get sharp images. Do you mind helping me out?
britaniclaus
Sounds like you want a hands on tutorial on how to use your camera. Read the manual, check out some TH-cam videos. Basically put some work into learning your camera. This will help you out in the end.
no problem..... put the little dial on top of the camera to the green spot that says "auto".
Thank you Ralph, you just saved me 4 hours of manual reading.
very much appreciated.
Erstaunliche Video und sehr hilfsbereit. Your accent is wonderful and I really enjoyed listening to you. You taught me so many new things and I will watch this again. Dankesehr Freund.
This was the most helpful review of D7100 control features that I have seen to date. Thanks so much for uploading. Brilliant. Have subscribed.
We bought this precious thing today. We waiting while it's battery is charging. Cool video, can't wait to test all cool things :) Thank you for all information :)
Just bought this camera, wanted to look through the User's manual but this, this was MUCH easier. THANK YOU KIND SIR.
Thank for the video. Much better than the "Getting Started" section of the manual.
Great video for somebody who wants to get a D7100 like myself. I leaned a lot from it. Thank you.
This is great - This does a much better job explaining how to get into a lot of the menus really quickly and easily. Thanks!
Just picked up a D7100. Like the video and plan to come back and use some of the tips on the features of the camera.
I have really loved this video on photography and Nikon D7100 tricks. I have been using D3200 and D5000 for some times now.

I've been learning this camera for 3 days now, very useful thanks!
maybe you can help me lol
Thanks for learning me more about my Nikon D7100 - it was easy to understand
Nice job Ralfs! I appreciate you sharing the information as I get used to my new D7100.
It helped me a lot, especially with the single point auto focus. Had days trying to find how to change it! Thank you very much!
Thank you for this video. I have just got myself a D7200 (immaculate condition with a shutter count of 546) and love it. All set up but was not sure how to set bracketing and confused with the mirror up setting. I enjoy long exposure so this has helped me a lot. Thanks.
I enjoyed this - nice to have the quick tips - easy to follow! Thanks!
Thanks very much! I don't need to learn anything more now about my D7100, this video is really useful!
Thanks for the English version. Excellent explanation so far i have seen on youtube on running through the functionality of the camera
Thanks for taking the time to do this. It was very clear and understandable.

Thank you for the very informative video on the Nikon D7100.
Hi. How do u change the info display on the back. You have the focus dots on your display. Thank you. Love this video
Very informative and useful for new starters.
What auto focus mode do you suggest for landscape, where everything needs to be in focus? Great video thanks!
thanks a lot Ralfs, such a good & very kind teacher..! God bless

thanks ,,,,the focus system explanation was helpful ,,,also liked the virtual horizon ,,,,, BTW ,, understood everything you said ,,,,,,,

my apologies Ralf not Ralph, just watched the video again - superb and thanks
Thank you for the tips. This is very good over view of D7100 to start with :)
Very useful and clear explanation! thank you very much.

Much prefer this to all the other fast-passed, over-edited youtube vids!
Great video, and yeah, the first time I heard it, I stumbled slightly. That's about my hearing, though, not your speech. It does not take away anything from your video. Great work. Were you using a mirror for changing settings or live video feed from the camera itself?
Excellent! I just ordered one, thanks to this video.
this is very informative -- thank you for such a lovely video :) really like all your videos
Thanks for the video. I didn't know about Auto ISO toggle with the front dial.
