Best tutorial on this camera I've seen so far. thank you for sharing the info!
The best Focusing tutorial on D7100/7200 . Thanks Michael !
I've learned so much from this video in such a short time, it's amazing ! Fantastic work, Michael !
I love how you teach. Great, clear and concise explanations and examples of situations they can be used. It cleared up a lot for me!
Much easier to see the videos than the manual that is for sure. I just got the D7100, and sure enough, yes fuzzy focus. Fuzzy is nice and warm, but not sharp, which is what I want. Thanks for your help Michael. Awesome video.
I purchased a D7500 a few days ago and this explained the focusing system in such a clear and simple way!
You're the best in this tutorial Michael, making something simple but compact and easy to understand.
Thank you infinitely.
Michael, that was the clearest and most concise auto focus tutorial I have ever seen or read
Thanks again Mike! After many years of using my Nikon Point & Shoot, I decided to upgrade to the Nikon D7500. I, like most oldies but goodies, started out with the 35mm!!! Some of my best shots were with my 35 mm but it was time to move on. Your tutorials are the best! We appreciate you for taking your time to help us. You're a blessing!
Great tutorial Michael. I just picked up the D7100 last week. I didn't take the time to read the manual (surprise) and was struggling to figure out the focusing system. You made it very easy to pick up.
This is the BEST tutorial I seen on RUclips for this camera. I'm know I'm way late, but it's simple and easy to follow. I'll look for more of your stuff! Thank you!!
Many thanks for uploading this video. It's certainly one of the clearest tutorials on Nikon focusing system I've come across.
You, sir, are awesome!
This is invaluable information. After watching this I feel as if the value of my camera quintupled! I was having such a frustrating time focusing properly with full auto focusing. I will never miss focus again, thank you!
So glad to hear it. This is all Im trying to do, make learning your camera as fast and easy as possible. Thanks!
The single best tutorial on D7100 i have seen so far on youtube, i wish there were more tutorials from Michael like this for D7100
What a wonderful video with clear and easy to follow instructions and background information! The best of tutorials of this kind I've ever seen. Thanks a lot.
8 years old but still one of the best videos on this subject.
Back button focus is the best thing I ever did. Let’s you use continuous focus and recompose your shot too.
The downside is when somebody offers to take a photo of you, you need to give them a lesson in how to use your camera 😂
Am here in ‘23 with a D7000 I have not used in years…probably 6-7 years at least. Getting back into using a DSLR and am going through all these. Have helped tremendously!
This was the best tutorial i have seen on this subject - you cleared up a lot for me! Thank you!
My pleasure
Great presentation and easy to follow. Just bought a D7100 and learnt about the focus modes within minutes thanks to this vid. Great job!
i have been looking and searching for a tutorial like this!! just recently hit a button and it changed my focusing and i had no idea there were so many options!!! this video just saved me!! thank you so much!!
I think your probably the best at these tutorials Michael you are very easy to understand and a very good teacher. I'm not a beginner but I'm always trying to learn as much as i can. Thank you for posting these video I just subscribed and plan to keep up with your videos. Albert.
thank you sir! Much appreciated!
Second that! Just starting with camera for our product photography and already learnt a ton from you! Thanks a million.
Totally agree
Wow! Possibly the single most interesting, and certainly most instructive and useful D7100 'How To' video I have seen on RUclips. Excellent. Many thanks.
Thank you!
MichaelTheMentor
Ditto on oc2phish07
oc2phish07 this is superb.having camera almost 2 years and now I know the usage. Thank you Michael, non native speaker Tom
Whew! I am so glad I decided to look up this tutorial within one week of beginning to use my new D7500. Definitely needed that quick focusing tutorial. Explained in such a simple manner!
Thanks Michael for this awesome tutorial. You made my day !!! Well explained and directed.
Excellent tutorial. Newbie tip: On the back of your D7200 (which is what I use) make sure the Focus Selector Lock lever is set to the 'dot' position and not 'L' (lock). If the lever is set to 'L' manual focus point selection is disabled.
Hand to God this tip fixed days of worry and I cried a lil. Thanks!
I've been using Nikon DSLRs (D100, D300 and D7100) for more than a decade and was never able to fully understand the rather complicated autofocus system. In my experience the Nikon manuals aren't very useful in that aspect. Your video all of a sudden made it perfectly clear to me. Thank you very much for your clear and simple explanation!
My pleasure! Thank you so much for your support!
This was the most constructive How-To video that I have ever seen and I will now see what else you have to offer. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for your support! I have lots of more reviews and tutorials coming
An excellent & very well explained video...
this is extremely well done. thank you
Fantastic video. I've been using the D7100 since launch and am still learning its attributes. The focusing system has always been somewhat of a enigma to me. Finally, a video that uses plain English to explain it.
Thank you, Michael!
Thank goodness for this explanation! I haven't picked up my camera for two years and want to shoot a family portrait today. I could not for the life of me remember how to set the single focus point in AF-A! So thankful for this. I absolutely subscribed and will hopefully be trying a lot more settings. Thank you!!
I got the Nikon D7200 for X-mas. This is helpful. Thanks, Jamie Carragher :D
Thank you for your explanation I didn’t know it has this much tricks the D7200 I own since last years
I use 1 point for just about everything
Thank you so much. This tutorial is still so relevant. It provided information that I have been looking for for years in a clear and concise manner. Thank you!
Awesome Awesome Awesome...this is the one and only simplest video to understand D7200 focusing system.
Thank you very much Micheal and keep uploading such video.
Never mind, I figured it out. I had the focus lock switch in the "lock" position, lol
Dude I assumed your comment was about focus points not moving around, which was my problem too. I had a look around my camera and holy crap, I had it locked as well xD This has been bothering me for A YEAR xD xD xD
Crazy.
i am not able to move the focusing square in my Nikon D7200
Check lock switch
+MichaelTheMentor I checked it.. nothing is wrong.. but the focusing square isn't moving
+MichaelTheMentor I checked it.. nothing is wrong.. but the focusing square isn't moving
+Basil Irfan Muhammed Aslam which shooting & focusing mode are you in?
+MichaelTheMentor I use AF-S and its in S
Excellent video. You took a complicated subject (for a relative beginner) and made is easily understandable. I've been viewing quite a few tutorials lately and yours is the best.
Almost 10 years after, is still the best video.
I'm saving this as a my pure focusing bible.
Thank you, sir.
I am a MORON! I have had my D7100 for three years and wondering why half my shots were out of focus. I only do portraits. I could punch myself in the groin right now...
I am in almost the same boat - 6 months since getting D7200 and discovered a lot of things from this video today.
Same here, but only 1 month :D
I had a camera for one year (Sony HX400V) before I saw my brother use the swivel LCD and my jaw dropped. I had been bending my neck to take photos before that :D
Very educational : slow and clear speech, showing the buttons & the screen result, colors to memorize better. Awesome tutorial! Merci
This was VERY helpful. I had never heard the Nikon D7100 explained this way and this easy to understand. I will be subscribing.
افضل فيديو تعليمي على الاطلاق عن الكاميرا
The best video I had ever seen about camera
Syrian says thanks alot
Go ahead.
Thorough, but not overwhelming for a beginner, this is great! Thank you!
This is by FAR the BEST and CLEAREST explanation about how to set up a Nikon D7100 and D7200 for focussing. It needs more meta keys tags to make it easier to find this explanation - it took me hours and hours to find it. Well done Michael and thank you.
This is the best video I have watched for learning about the focus area on a Nikon. I have a D7200, so the information is translatable.
Thank you Michael. I can read the owners manual cover to cover, but it's videos like yours that really help. Much appreciated.
Michael, I came here because exactly as you said in the video - "my photos are blurry". Thanks for this tutorial. This possibly this best video on this topic. I watched a lot of videos of different RUclipsrs and you are easily the most understandable teacher out there. Kudos. I subscribed to channel immediately and will look forward to more videos on advanced topics too.
Nikon should be paying you big bucks. You method of teaching is superb....far better than so called "Nikon Professionals."
Finally a good explanation, nice and clear voice, very useful, it definitely made me understand a little bit more of my D7500. Thanks!!!
Thank you! I've had a D7200 for a few years and never really learned how to use it. Your tutorials have been very helpful! I typically photograph my child's marching band and musical theater performances, and have just been learning by trial and error.
I agree also agree that you are very easy to understand and demonstrate very well too. Your tutorial is set for beginners and semi pros. Enjoyed the video and will follow you from now on. Thanks again
Very good video with clear instructions on how to set the camera up for focus. Thank you !
Awesome! One of the best tutorials on this particular topic! Thank you for making such a great and useful video!
Absolutely excellent tutorial. Im a new photographer who splurged on the D7100 and this is much appreciated. Thank you!
This was the best tutorials. I have been shooting for awhile and some of the things you covered and the way you covered it was easy to understand. Nice work.
Your tutorials are great!
Keep doing it!
I'm sure you help a lot to many beginners like me!
Thank you,Michael!
Agree!!!
You explain directly to the point, and the video edition with the red points is very good! Thank you!
That was totally what I wanted to find out. After reading forum after forum and the manual, this was the easiest, and best explained tutorial.My D200 and D300 for some reason were set up with the center focus and bird photography was easy.
The D7100 bounces around and drove me crazy in my first 3 days of using....until now. Thanks
Thank you very much for the precision of the autofocus mode. You're the best. I'm a french people and i understand very clearly your lesson. Thank you again
thank you so much for this amazing tutorial it is so clear and comprehensive....i really appreciate your time and effort to put these videos up!!!!!
i've looked at quite a few videos on you tube but haven't found one yet as informative as yours when it comes to doing focussing where you wants the camera to focus.Keep up da good work.It's much appreciated.
Thank you Micheal.. this was an awesome tutorial. You explained things in a very easy way to undurstand!!!
Michael, you are one of the best in explaining! So simple and clear. A complicated concept of focus modes and clusters made so easy to understand. Thanks for the video. I can make the best use of my D7100
Thank you Giridhar! Very kind of you and I am glad I could help!
Best tutorial ever on Focus modes. Thanks Michael!
Simple, straightforward and to the point. Nice, especially as I'm just switched my entire system from Panasonic to Nikon.
HUGELY helpful, especially on changing the focusing cluster! Thank you!
Excellent man!, i just got my D7100 and i have being facing focusing problems but reading the manual i got to understand how my camera focus. but videos like this are the ones that make everything even clearer. thanks so much!
Timeless education on the focusing mechanism of my D7200. Appreciate you sharing. Thks!
Outstanding. Best explanation of the focusing modes of the D7100. Thank you!
Great video Michael you covered every point on focusing clearly.
Thank you so much! I have a D7200 and this is an excellent video. Very concise, clear, detailed and clear to understand. Fantastic. You are my hero :)
Great tutorial, I've had my camera over a year and watching your tutorial will defenitely help me in the future.... Thanks
Outstanding tutorial ... very well explained and easy to follow. Thanks a lot and cheers from Chile.
I also find this tutorial insightful. Thank you for explaining it so clearly.
Great Video! Wonderful explanation! Keep up the good work and we'll keep on watching. Thanks
I just bought my D7200 not long ago and was out on safari with chimps and gorillas recently and I wish I'd seen this before I went! I got a lot of great shots, but getting shots with branches between myself and them was a challenge. Thank you. Excellent, straightforward explanations. Much appreciated!
Very helpful, Mike. Lots of info but I will watch your presentation 100 times and maybe it will all sink in.
You make me understand this ridiculously easily
Sir. I appreciate your work.
Your way of teaching is so easy to understand making such things so easy to pick up thumbsup buddy keep it up
This was a fantastic video. I just purchased my D7100 and was trying to figure this out on my own. Thank you so much and I'll be checking out more of your videos.
Michael, thank you so much for explaining the Nikon D7200 focusing system. My Nikon D7200 Manual had been used to prop up the leg of a wobbly desk. I will go to your Web- site to find out more about "Back Button Focusing". I have had my D7200 since 2015 and photographed the "Sydney Hobart Yacht Race- Golf and Rugby. In all those years I never fully understood how the focusing worked, until now. Well done, thank you for a great video
I found it specially useful. I got the 7100 and as a beginner i can tell you it's one of the best video tutorials. Thanks a lot
This is one of the finest explanations of anything that I've ever heard. I've been struggling for several evenings to understand auto focusing on my new D7200. The manual is well written, as far as manuals go. There are a number of pages on-line that try to explain the concepts. None are even in the same ballpark as this. Michael's ability to see things from the point of view of the beginner, organize his thoughts, and phrase things so well make this tutorial a real gem. Thank you for producing and posting it.
Thank you yooper. Very kind words
Finally found a video that was explained clearly without jumping around. Great job!
Very well explained. I was having an issue with my new D7100 not auto focusing...you made great time of each one of your explanations getting down to the core basics of what was needed to understand the auto focus on this particular model. This model is much different than my previous D5300, so I greatly appreciate your video! I cannot subscribe because I will see a lot of stuff on photography, but I gave you a big thumbs up! Thanks again!!!
THIS WAS FANTASTIC :-D !!! Thank You, thank You, thank YOU! Just upgraded from D7000 to D7200 (for my b'day, no less!), took it to Lago d'Iseo and to my absolute, sheer HORROR all my pics came out blurry and would not sharpen up without setting of 7 in Capture NX-D! Being a science weenie, I never read the manuals of course and was nearly tearing my hair out than I watched your tremendously helpful, easygoing and easy to follow video - CAMERA IN HAND :-D !!! - and I saw the light! Wish I watched BEFORE the trip but at least now I know better! It was set in its default AFS / Auto mode, of course! Thank You again :-) ! Cheers & Best REgards from Germany, John
Thanks MichaelTheMentor !! I really enjoy the way that you explain, clearly and professional. Thank you very much!
Such quality review! Easy to understand, professionally done! Thank you!
Wow I just bought my D7100 and this video is essential. Awesome! Thank you!
I’m a beginner photographer who just got into it via a new job..sort of an additional responsibility I offered to take on and learn. The office camera is a D7200 and this just helped me tremendously as focus has been an issue for me. Thanks for this video!!!
Excellent tutorial. Many thanks for this clear and concise video.
One of the best professional videos I have seen. Well done
Whoa, this was mindblowing! I know that seems like an inflated compliment, but no. For someone in my position ... well, none of this stuff has ever been explained to me, and I wouldn't have understood it in the manual for my camera (d7200). This is information I will go out and use TODAY. And thank you, Michael, for explaining this stuff in an easy to follow format. Thanks, thanks, thanks!
Really an excellent tutorial, thanks so much. Just rented the D7200 for a week and this helps a lot. Thanks.
I watched a lot of videos and this one was really clear and easy to understand. I think i will order the video. Thank you
The Best D7100 Tutorial! Simply Awesome
Really enjoyed your tutorial. I learned a lot more about using the Nikon 7100 shooting video. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your high-quality content Michael!
