Great video! Thank you for getting straight to the point. I was getting annoyed watching other videos with a long intro, just to find out they never ended up covering the stuff I needed to know

Most informative D7000 camera basics I have stumbled across thus far on YouTube :)

One thing that was not mentioned which I regard important especially for those who do not know the D7000 (also D7100 and 7200) is that the lens used in this video is manual. For you to use such lens with full compatibility it has to be AI or AIs type. Another thing that is required for such lenses is to check the menu for the "Non-CPU lenses" feature. Then you choose the longest Focal Distance which in this case is 50mm and the widest Aperture which is f/1.8. Next, you set a number, so everytime you want to use this lens, you choose the number and the camera will display the correct settings. I have some analog Nikkor lenses I collected due to their great quality and lower price such as the Nikkor Series E 135mm f/2.8, Nikkor S 50mm f/1.4, Nikkor 55mm f/1.2 among others.

How about changing the aperture and sgutter speed without that type of lens you're using?

[okboomer]

I have a D7000 since new. I must be ADHD because there are so many dials and buttons and choices I find myself with the dreaded paralysis by analysis

[felipebraga]

What about the manual movie settings? I've seen many people say that they should be off, because if you put the lens and the camera in manual (at the switch), this manual movie settings should be off

[stealahb]

[AdrianMedrano]

I always wanted to have a DSLR, I really love taking photos but unfortunately I can't afford to buy one for myself.

[rachaelking]

my aperture won’t go below 3.5 why is that?

Hey can someone please recommend an ideal NIKON lens for my D7000? I've got no lens, and I'm not sure where to start. Should it be a CPU Nikon lens? Thanks in advance!
