After spending some time with the Nikon D7200, I found that there were a few settings I wanted to adjust to make the camera work a bit better for my workflow. Here are 5 settings to change on the Nikon D7200.

AF-S is 'single focus', AF-C is 'continuous focus', also, it would have been better to hit the Info button, rather than using Live View, for the purpose of demonstrating these adjustments. Two more settings that I would consider to be very important and should definitely be on any list of 'Settings to change on the Nikon D7200', would be (1) to assign the AE-L/AF-L button to 'Auto On' so focusing and shooting have separate buttons, rather than having to half-press the shutter button to focus (2) to assign the Movie Record button to 'ISO', so that you don't have to use that ridiculously-placed ISO button on the back of the camera. With these two changes, you can focus and recompose without switching out of continuous focus and also adjust ISO settings without involving your left hand at all. I hope these suggestions are helpful.

Excellent tutorial for the D7200. It's 2021 I have moved to the Z50 from the D600 and D3400, but have just bought myself a D7200!

I shoot exclusively in RAW, and this is fine for transmitting photos to a phone, as I believe Nikon's app automatically converts it when downloading to the phone.

Great little camera, it was the last crop camera I bought before full frame and im eyeing the d500 now but I use my 7200 for all my macro stuff and birds when I do that. It shoots great with fx lenses which is all I’ve ever bought so when I went to start buying fx cameras I had a pretty good collection of fx lenses already. There aren’t too many stand out dx ones out there but a handful.

As @GotToHelenBach mentions below, for viewfinder photography,  AF-S is SINGLE servo mode - it locks focus with each half-shutter button press. AF-A is a semi-auto mode that locks focus like AF-S BUT if detects movement of the subject forward or backwards it will switch to AF-C mode and track the subject until it is stationary or you release the shutter.

For liveview photography the choices are AF-S (single-servo AF) and AF-F (full-time servo AF).

See page 83 and 84 of your D7200 manual.

Excellent video! Thanks. Some of us, probably because of the advent of automated camera phones, have forgotten what some of the Nikon controls do. Then, when we bring out the Nikons for kids’ birthday parties, Christmas events and family vacations, we are suddenly ham-handed and miss a lot of shots.

Shooting RAW + Jpeg seriously kills your buffer/shooting speed - be aware if you are shooting sports/fast action and running Burst mode ;)

I learnt that the hard way :)

Picture Control settings apply only to your JPEG preview, so if you set camera to shoot RAW, pictures was always had flat profile as you want it to be. You can also set the OK button in menu section f1 to make quick zoom on the preview of your photo so you dont need to click magnifying button multiple times. I hope that this help someone ;)

Great video. I shot with a Nikon D7000 for a while and upgraded to a D7200. It is a really great camera. Thanks for this video. It was well done and I intend on trying out all your suggestions. To be honest, I am not sure about rear focusing but will try it out. All the best to you.

Nice tutorial. You did not put the link in for back button focus

[karloshaz]

Great video for us weekend photographers

I really liked your short tutorial and I will give it a try to the settings mentioned here. I was wondering if you have any tutorial for the Nikon Coolpix P1000. Thank you

[jimmygreene]

Great Tutorials learned so much from them as the manual can be a bit confusing.
