Nikon D3100 Setup

I put together a guide for all of you new Nikon D3100 users. This is the second guide with the first basic guide showing you what each button is and what it does.

This video is designed to help you understand what each menu function is and how you could set it.

I remember watching this video two years ago. I learned how to operate my D3100, and throughout time I've learned an abundant amount about all the settings in my camera, Lightroom, and techniques. Thank you, Jared. You're awesome!

Hey Jared, got a D3100 second hand last week. My first DSLR. Your tutorials have done SO MUCH to help a complete novice learn my way round. Cheers dude.

Thanks for going over these settings, Jared! I've had my D3100 for about 10 years, and you showed me menu screens that I didn't know existed!

I'm a beginner, I bought the camera and I had no idea how to use it. Seeing all the buttons and settings was crazy but I really wanted to learn how it works, this tutorial was really helpful, who needs the manual? lol THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have a lot to learn about this camera and this videos are excellent. Btw the way he explains makes everything more easy!

Just got a D3100 and I have to say thank you Sir for the great classes and tips. Your videos are a great help to me.

I finally bought a DSLR and went with the 3100. So far I'm liking it, and this video was a huge help in familiarizing myself with the controls, thanks a lot!! One thing I think is worth mentioning is that when you hit the menu button it'll take you back to the last menu you were in, so I just leave the cursor in the "Recent Setting" panel, and quickly have access to a wide range of menu options not available in the info section, such as format memory card, picture controls, etc.

Thanks again!

Thank you for making this video. I just picked my D3100 up a few days ago and I feel like I know more about the camera than if I had tried to read the manual. The best tip I got from this video was hitting the 'info' button to scroll to different settings to make quick adjustments.

@AllTechSource if u keep working on the menu it wont go off until you stop. you can change the timing as well.

I'm from Brazil/Rio de Janeiro. Thank you so much! I've been learning a lot with your video (Explanation!) Very good!

@keanuandewanrok well thats always going to change as your scene changes and light changes. If you are shooting manual it is just a recommendation for where you should put the camera.

@TomShootsPhoto in post production you put the watermark on you can do it right out of lightroom.

This made my life SO much easier. I was trying to use that silly graphical menu and I saw all these apertures opening up and all that nonsense so I couldn't see the data I needed to see.

THANK YOU so much for this! :)

This was my first dslr. It's also my only one. It was a wonderful started slr. Very easy to figure out, especially for the manual settings. Using this felt so natural.

I dont know if you mentioned it or not, but when you're in the main screen that has all your settings displayed if you hold the function button below the pop up flash button you can change the ISO setting without going into a menu just like you can change the aperture by holding the +/- button and using the scroll wheel.

[AlexCruceru]

[CrystalDino]

I bought this camera last week and it just came in the mail today! I'm so excited to use it.
