The Nikon D7100 is a 24.1-megapixeldigital single-lens reflex camera model announced by Nikon in February 2013.^[1] It is a prosumer model that replaces the Nikon D7000 as Nikon's flagship DX-format camera, fitting between the company's entry-level and professional DSLR models. Nikon gives the D7100's Estimated Selling Price in the United States as US$949.95 for the body alone.^[2]

I’ve been playing around with the Nikon D7100 and have a notebook full of real world tips and tricks that I can’t wait to share with you. I’m in the process of organizing everything and will be publishing some how-to videos in the coming weeks. From Nikon D7100 For Dummies. By Julie Adair King. With the D7100 digital camera, Nikon proves once again that you don’t have to give an arm and a leg — or strain your back and neck — to enjoy dSLR photography.

Take a minute to enjoy an episode in Nikon's history. Open the door to an untold story of the design process of the Nikon F that will commemorate its 60th anniversary this year. The D7100 marks an exciting advancement in image quality for high-resolution DX-format cameras. Nikon specially designed its 24.1-megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor without using an optical low pass filter (OLPF), resulting in the purest, sharpest images using D7100's DX-format CMOS sensor.

Up to 1080p at 24p, 25p and 50i (50i true interlaced: based on 50 sensor readouts per second), 30p and 60i (60i true interlaced), 720p at 50p or 60p frames per second (fps). H.264/MPEG-4 AVCExpeed video processor. HDMI out with support of uncompressed video (clean HDMI)
• ISO sensitivity 100 to 6400 (up to 25600 with boost);
• 3.2-inch, TFT LCD monitor with 1,228,800-dot resolution (RGBW alignment);
• Central cross-type focus points support autofocusing with lenses with a maximum aperture of f/5.6;
• Center cross-type focus point supports autofocusing with lenses with a maximum aperture of f/8;

• Viewfinder with approximately 100% frame coverage and 0.94x magnification ratio;
• GPS interface for direct geotagging supported by Nikon GP-1.

Video performance[edit]

• When using the D7100 as a video capture mode, the camera will display audio meter overlays over the left edge of the LCD.
• The D7100 does not allow the lens aperture to be adjusted during video capture.
• The slowest shutter speed in video capture mode appears to be 1/25th of a second.

Advantages and disadvantages[edit]

The sensor of the D7100 uses Nikon's DX format, resulting in a crop factor of 1.5x. Additionally the software enables an additional crop of 1.3x (resulting in approximately 1.95x compared to 35mm). Selecting this additional crop mode allows faster focusing in video mode and also enables interlaced video recording modes. This additional crop feature gives D7100 an advantage in using tele angle lens for shooting wildlife or things at a distance. The 51-area AF system sensors covers a bigger proportion of the extra 1.3 crop factor image area, which is important for capturing high-speed moving subjects during shooting.^[4]

Video enthusiasts will appreciate the fact that the Nikon D7100 enables you to tweak a variety of movie-recording settings, such as frame size, frame rate, microphone volume, and the like. But if you’re not up to sorting through all those options, just record your movies using the default settings. (You can restore the critical defaults by opening the Shooting menu and choosing Reset Shooting Menu.)

At the default settings, you get a full HD movie with sound enabled. Microphone volume is adjusted automatically, and the movie file is stored on the memory card in slot 1.

Here’s how to shoot movies with the defaults:

1Set the Mode dial on top of the camera to the P setting.

User Manual For Nikon D7100

In this exposure mode, the camera takes care of movie exposure for you automatically. However, should something appear amiss with exposure or color, you can tweak a setting here and there to resolve the issue — something you can’t do in the Auto exposure mode.

2Set the camera to movie mode by rotating the Live View switch to the movie camera icon.

After setting the camera to movie mode, press the LV button to engage the Live View display.

3Press the LV button to engage the Live View display.

Press Info to change the display mode. Just pay attention to the available recording time readout, labeled in the figure.

4To take advantage of continuous autofocusing, set the Autofocus mode to AF-F.

Select this setting by pressing the Focus-mode selector button while rotating the Main command dial. The camera starts focusing automatically and adjusts focus as necessary throughout the recording. You can lock focus at a specific distance by pressing the shutter button halfway.

If the Autofocus mode is set to AF-S, press the shutter button halfway to set and lock focus. You then can lift your finger off the shutter button; focus remains set unless you press the button halfway to reset focus.

5To begin recording, press the red movie-record button on top of the camera.

Most shooting data disappears from the screen, and a red Rec symbol flashes in the top-left corner. As recording progresses, the area labeled “Time remaining” in the figure shows you how many more seconds of video you can record.

6To stop recording, press the movie-record button again.

Movies are created in the MOV format, which means you can play them on your computer using most movie-playback programs. You also can view movies in Nikon ViewNX 2, the free software provided with your camera.

You can stop your recording and capture a still image in one fell swoop: Just press and hold the shutter button down until you hear the shutter release. But because the camera remains in movie mode until you move the Live View switch to the still photography position, the picture is recorded using the movie frame area and has a 16:9 aspect ratio.

The resolution of the picture depends on the Image Size and Image Area settings but varies from a photo taken in still photography mode because of that 16:9 aspect ratio. Flash is disabled as well. Presto mr photo software.

Also be aware that this picture-shooting feature depends on the setting selected for the Assign Shutter Button option, found in the Movie section of the Custom Setting menu. At the default setting, Take Photos, things work as just described. If you change the setting to Record Movies, you can use the shutter button to start and stop recording, but you can no longer take a still picture without shifting out of movie mode.
