Nikon D7100 Manuale utente

Introduction

Throw away your cheat-sheets and command cards! Are you tired of squinting

at tiny color-coded tables on fold-out camera cards? Do you wish you had the

most essential information extracted from my comprehensive David Busch’s

Nikon D7100 Guide to Digital SLR Photography in a size you could tuck away

in your camera bag? I’ve condensed the basic reference material you need in

this handy, lay-flat book, David Busch’s Compact Field Guide for the Nikon

D7100. In it, you’ll find the explanations of why to use each setting and

option—information that is missing from the cheat-sheets and the book pack-

aged with the camera. You won’t find the generic information that pads out the

other compact guides. I think you’ll want to have both this reference and my

full-sized guide—one to help you set up and use your Nikon D7100, and the

other to savor as you master the full range of things this great camera can do.

Chapter 1

Quick Setup Guide

This chapter contains the essential information you need to get your Nikon

D7100 prepped and ready to go. You’ll learn how to use a few of the basic

controls and features, and how to transfer your photos to your computer. If you

want a more complete map of the functions of your camera, skip ahead to

Chapter 2. Live view is touched on only briefly in this chapter; if you want to

begin using live view or shoot movies immediately, check out Chapter 6.

Pre-Flight Checklist

The initial setup of your Nikon D7100 is fast and easy. You just need to learn

a few controls, charge the battery, attach a lens, and insert a memory card.

Charging the Battery

When the battery is inserted into the MH-24 charger properly (it’s impossible

to insert it incorrectly), an orange Charge light begins flashing, and remains

flashing until the status lamp glows steadily, indicating that charging is fin-

ished, generally within two to three hours. When the battery is charged, slide

the latch on the bottom of the camera and ease the battery in, as shown in

Figure 1.1.

in the camera; it

only fits one way.

Introducing Menus and the Multi Selector

You’ll find descriptions of most of the controls used with the Nikon D7100 in

Chapter 2, which provides a complete “roadmap” of the camera’s buttons and

dials and switches. However, you may need to perform a few tasks during this

initial setup process, and most of them will require the MENU button and the

multi selector pad.

■ MENU button. It’s located to the top left of the LCD. When you want to

access a menu, press it. To exit most menus, press it again. (See Figure 1.2,

left.)

■ Multi selector pad. A thumbpad-sized button with projections at the

north, south, east, and west “navigational” positions, plus a button in the

center (see Figure 1.2, right). With the D7100, the multi selector is used

for navigation—for example, to navigate among menus on the LCD or to

choose one of the 51 focus points, to advance or reverse display of a series

of images during picture review, or to change the kind of photo informa-

tion displayed on the screen using the Info button.

■ OK button. Located in the center of the multi selector pad, the OK but-

ton is used to confirm your choices and send the image currently being

viewed to the Retouch menu for modification.

Setting the Clock

The in-camera clock might have been set for you by someone checking out

your camera prior to delivery, but if you do need to set it, the flashing CLOCK

indicator roughly in the center of the monochrome top-panel LCD will be the

giveaway. Press the MENU button to the left of the LCD, and then use the

multi selector to scroll down to the Setup menu (it’s marked with a wrench

icon), press the multi selector button to the right, and then press the down

button to scroll down to Time Zone and Date, and press the right button

again. The options for setting the 24-hour clock will appear on the screen that

appears next.

Mounting the Lens

If your D7100 has no lens attached, you’ll need to mount one before

shooting:

1. Select the lens and loosen (but do not remove) the rear lens cap.

2. Remove the body cap on the camera by rotating the cap away from the

shutter release button.

3. Once the body cap has been removed, remove the rear lens cap from the

lens, set it aside, and then mount the lens on the camera by matching the

alignment indicator on the lens barrel with the white bump on the cam-

era’s lens mount (see Figure 1.3). Rotate the lens toward the shutter release

until it seats securely.

4. Set the focus mode switch on the lens to AF or M/A (Autofocus). If the

lens hood is bayoneted on the lens in the reversed position, twist it off and

remount with the “petals” (if present) facing outward. A lens hood pro-

tects the front of the lens from accidental bumps, and reduces flare caused

by extraneous light arriving at the front of the lens from outside the pic-

ture area.
