About the Nikon D7100 (no lens included)

Woody Sherman

Your ship comes in

Sports shooters, heads up. This camera features a 1.3X crop mode. What that means is, by using a smaller patch of the sensor's surface (and paying the trade-off of a bit less resolution), you can get a 2X multiplication factor from your zoom lens. So now, your 105mm zoom will act like a 210mm zoom, and give you that much more reach. Plus, the camera's 51-point autofocus array will fill almost your entire frame (having been cropped in), so the tracking and focus performance for fast-moving subjects will be enhanced. And, as an added bonus, continuous capture speed improves from 6 frames per second to 7 in 1.3X crop mode.

Your ship comes in

It's always wonderful to see a company follow up an unqualified success with a worthy successor. The D7100 DSLR from Nikon blazes new trails while holding on to all the desirable traits of its predecessor, and in the process, earns the "flagship" title for their lineup of DX-format cameras.

Uncensored sensor

Why are we so bullish on the prospects for this new entry? Well, for one thing, it offers a large, pixel-rich sensor — 24.1-megapixels, in fact. Now that's not eye-opening by itself, but look again. This sensor has no optical low-pass filter. In the past, most manufacturers' sensors have been equipped with those filters in order to keep them from exhibiting false colors and interference patterns (moiré) on finely detailed subjects. However, new advances in image processing technology have allowed Nikon to unleash the unparalleled resolution and sharpness this new configuration allows, with minimal unwanted artifacts. The result for you? A level of detail you've likely not experienced with a DX-format digital camera.

It's got serious connections

The D7100 is the latest of Nikon's cameras to offer the substantial benefits of Wi-Fi®. By adding the optional WU-1a wireless mobile adapter, your camera will be able to transfer files wirelessly to compatible smartphones, tablets, and laptops. A free downloadable app lets you remotely view what the camera is seeing, and release the shutter with a touch of your device's screen. And, because Wi-Fi is yet another window to your camera's overall interface, other app-based capabilities may become available with time from both the manufacturer and third parties.
Additional connections abound. An optional remote, the WR-1 wireless remote controller, offers the option of ganging together a number of compatible cameras and firing them together, or in dedicated groups. This is a handy thing to know about if you've ever wanted to do "that cool moving camera freeze-frame move they did in The Matrix." The camera will also accommodate an optional GPS module, so you can geo-tag your shooting locations and search your photo library by the place your shots were captured. And of course the camera will connect to computers and HDTVs via the built-in USB and HDMI connections.

Harvest the crop

Sports shooters, heads up. This camera features a 1.3X crop mode. What that means is, by using a smaller patch of the sensor's surface (and paying the trade-off of a bit less resolution), you can get a 2X multiplication factor from your zoom lens. So now, your 105mm zoom will act like a 210mm zoom, and give you that much more reach. Plus, the camera's 51-point autofocus array will fill almost your entire frame (having been cropped in), so the tracking and focus performance for fast-moving subjects will be enhanced. And, as an added bonus, continuous capture speed improves from 6 frames per second to 7 in 1.3X crop mode.

Directors welcome

The D7100 has raised the video performance bar for its family as well. It will deliver lush 1080/24p and 30p in the camera's native mode, and a fast motion-friendly 1080/60i at the zoomed-in 1.3X crop size. There's an on-board stereo microphone, and stereo minijacks for both external microphones and headphones. Plus, there's an HDMI output for high-resolution playback of your shots.

It feels good in your hands

Nikon's build quality has always been a strength for their entire product line. The D7100 features a combination magnesium-alloy/polycarbonate body, allowing the camera to be simultaneously tough and lightweight. The unit is solidly weather-sealed at all of its vulnerable points, and in fact has the same level of dust and water-resistance as the full-frame Nikon D800. And the controls feel logically placed and intuitive to operate. Even the viewfinder has evolved, with OLED (organic LED) technology driving the built-in data display.

Recording Features

Overview: This Nikon D7100 package includes the D7100 digital camera body, a EN-EL15 rechargeable Lithium Ion battery pack and a battery charger. No lenses are included. The D7100 is the new flagship in the Nikon DX-format DSLR lineup.

Compatible Lenses: The D7100 is equipped with the standard Nikon F bayonet mount. It is compatible with the following types of optional lenses:

  • DX AF Nikkor: all functions supported
  • Type G or D AF Nikkor: All functions supported (PC Micro-Nikkor does not support some functions). IX Nikkor lenses not supported.
  • Other AF Nikkor: All functions supported except 3D color matrix metering II. Lenses for F3AF not supported.
  • AI-P Nikkor: All functions supported except 3D color matrix metering II.
  • Non-CPU: Can be used in A and M mode, color matrix metering and aperture value display supported if user provides lens data (AI lenses only).

LCD Monitor: The Nikon D7100 has a 3.2" TFT LCD monitor featuring approximately 1,228,800 pixels, a 170-degree viewing angle, and adjustable brightness (3 levels). The monitor can display shooting information such as shutter speed, aperture, and number of exposures remaining as well as the settings currently applied.

Live View: The camera features Live View, which allows you to frame your photographs in the monitor instead of the viewfinder. When the Live View button is pressed, the mirror is raised and the view through the lens will be displayed in the monitor. The subject will no longer be visible in the viewfinder. The Live View display will show up to 5 items, including auto focus mode, AF-area mode, focus point, exposure indicator, and the time remaining before Live View ends automatically (if shooting will end in 30 seconds or less). You can opt to hide many of the indicators, or overlay a framing grid in the monitor.

Optical Viewfinder: The D7100 uses a fixed eye-level penta-mirror single-lens reflex viewfinder with a built-in diopter adjustment to set the viewfinder to your personal eyesight (with or without glasses). The viewfinder's coverage area is approximately 100% horizontal and vertical. During self-timer or remote control operation when your eye does not cover the viewfinder eyepiece, stray light may enter the eyepiece and affect the exposure when the image is captured. To prevent this, you can use the supplied eyepiece cap to cover the eyepiece.

Image Sensor: The D7100 features a Nikon DX-format 23.5mm x 15.6mm CMOS image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately 24.71 million pixels and an effective pixel count of approximately 24.1 million.

Dust Reduction System: The image sensor is equipped with a low-pass filter to remove dust or dirt on the sensor. You can set the camera to clean the image sensor automatically at startup, or at shut down, or both. It can also be set to turn the auto cleaning function off. The Dust Reduction System also includes Image Dust Off, which allows the camera to acquire reference data to be used with the Image Dust Off application in the optional Capture NX 2 software.

Recording Media: The camera records images on Secure Digital (SD) memory cards up to 2 GB in size, SDHC memory cards up to 32 GB, and SDXC cards up to 64 GB. No SD cards are included with the camera.

Dual Media Slots: The D7100 has two slots for Secure Digital (SD) media. When two memory cards are inserted in the camera you have the following options:

  • Overflow: The card in slot 2 is used only when the card in slot 1 is full.
  • Backup: Each picture is recorded twice, once to the card in slot 1 and again to the card in slot 2.
  • RAW Slot 1-JPEG Slot 2: Operates like Backup, except when camera is recording NEF/RAW + JPEG images; NEF/RAW images are recorded to the card in slot 1, while the JPEG images are recorded to the card in slot 2.
  • Movies: When shooting movies, you can select which slot is used to record movies.
  • Copy: You can copy image files from one card to another.

Still Image Formats: The D7100 records JPEG still images in three sizes: Large, Medium, and Small. Image Quality can be set to Fine (1:4 compression), Normal (1:8), or Basic (1:16). You can record still images in the following resolutions:

  Large Medium Small
DX (24 x 16) 6000 x 4000 4496 x 3000 2992 x 2000
1.3x (18 x 12) 4800 x 3200 3600 x 2400 2400 x 1600
DX (24 x 16)
Movie Live View
6000 x 3368 4496 x 2528 2992 x 1680
1.3x (18 x 12)
Movie Live View
4800 x 2696 3600 x 2024 2400 x 1344

NEF (RAW) Shooting: The camera captures raw image data from the image sensor and stores them in NEF (RAW) format. You can "process" the RAW images into JPEG images in the Retouch Menu, and adjust the image size, quality, white balance, color space, D-Lighting, and other parameters. If desired, you can save a JPEG copy of the image in Fine, Normal, or Basic image quality, along with the RAW image. The RAW images will always be saved in the Large image size.

Movie Recording: The D7100 records movies in High Definition in 16:9 aspect ratio. Movies are recorded in MOV file format, with H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, and Linear PCM audio, recorded by the built-in or an external stereo microphone. You can choose between High Quality (24 Mbps) or Normal Quality (12 Mbps). Maximum clip length is 20 Min (High) or 29 min-59 sec (Normal). Movies can be recorded in the following frame sizes and rates:

Frame Size (pixels) Frame Rates
1920 x 1080 60i, 50i, 30p, 25p, 24p
1280 x 720 60p, 50p

Focus Modes: The D7100's lets you choose from the following autofocus and manual focus modes:

  • Auto-servo Autofocus (AF-A): The camera automatically selects single-servo AF if the subject is stationary, or continuous-servo AF if the subject is moving.
  • Single-servo Autofocus (AF-S): For stationary subjects. Focus locks when shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
  • Continuous-servo Autofocus (AF-C): For moving subjects. Camera focuses continuously while shutter release button is pressed halfway.
  • Manual (M): Manual focus is available for lenses that do not support autofocus (non-AF Nikkor lenses) or when autofocus does not produce the desired results.

AF Assist Illuminator: The built-in AF assist illuminator enables the camera to focus even when the subject is poorly lit. This feature will light automatically to assist the autofocus operation when the shutter release button is pressed halfway. It has an operating range of 1'-8" to 9'-10".

AF-Area Modes: The D7100 offers a choice of focus areas that together cover a wide area of the frame. The AF-area mode determines how the focus area is selected and what happens if the subject moves out of the selected focus area while the camera is still focusing. You can choose one of the following AF-area modes:

  • Single Point: You select the focus area manually and the camera focuses on the subject in the selected focus area only. The selection can be made from any one of the eleven AF spot sensors.
  • Dynamic Area: In AF-A and AF-C modes, user selects focus point manually but camera will focus based on information from surrounding focus points if subject briefly leaves the selected point. In AF-S focus mode, you select the focus point manually. The number of focus points varies with the mode selected: 9, 21, or 51-point dynamic area AF.
  • 3D-Tracking (11 points): In AF-A and AF-C focus modes, you select the focus point using the multi-selector. If subject moves after camera has focused, the camera selects new focus points and keep focus locked on original subject while shutter release pressed halfway. If subject leaves viewfinder, you will need to remove finger from shutter release button and recompose photo with subject in the selected focus point.
  • Auto-Area AF: The camera automatically detects the subject and selects the focus point.

Focus Lock: Focus Lock can be used to change the composition after focusing, making it possible to focus on a subject that will not be in one of the focus points in the final composition.

Release Modes: The camera can take pictures one at a time, or continuously as long as the shutter release button is pressed. You can also take photos using the self-timer or with an optional remote control. The camera allows you to choose from the following Release Modes:

  • Single Frame: The camera takes one photograph each time the shutter release button is pressed
  • Continuous Low Speed: The camera records photographs up to 1-6 frames per second while the shutter release button is held down.
  • Continuous High Speed: While the shutter release button is held down, the camera records up to 6 frames per second.
  • Quiet Shutter Release: The camera takes a single photograph, as in Single Frame mode, except that the mirror does not click back into place while the shutter-release button is fully pressed. In addition, the beep does not sound during focusing.
  • Self-timer: This mode can be used to reduce camera shake or for self-portraits. You can set the delay time to 20, 10, 5, or 2 seconds.
  • Mirror Up: This mode helps minimize camera shake by raising the mirror prior to the shot being taken. Use of a tripod is recommended.

Nikon 3D Color Matrix Metering II: The D7100's 3D Color Matrix Metering II evaluates each scene for brightness, color, contrast, size and position of shadows and highlights, selected focus area and camera-to-subject distance, comparing that information against an onboard database of more than 30,000 actual photographic scenes. The result delivers instantly and precisely determined exposures for each scene, even in challenging lighting conditions.

Metering: You can choose from the following Metering Modes to determine how the camera sets exposure:

  • Matrix: Produces natural results in most situations. Camera uses 420-pixel RGB sensor to meter a wide area of the frame and set exposure according to tone distribution, color, composition, and with type G or D lenses, range information. (See 3D Color Matrix Metering II above). With other CPU lenses, the camera uses color matrix metering II, which does not include 3D range information.
  • Center-weighted: The camera meters the entire frame but assigns greatest weight to center area. The diameter of the circle can be set to 6, 8, 10, or 13mm.
  • Spot: The camera meters exposure in active focus point only inside a 3.5mm circle. This ensures that the subject will be correctly exposed, even when background is much brighter or darker.

Shooting Modes: The Mode Dial on the top of the camera offers a choice of shooting modes:

  • Auto Modes:
    • Auto: The camera handles exposure, shutter-speed, ISO sensitivity and White balance so you can just point and shoot.
    • Auto Flash Off: Captures scenes using only available lighting. Ideal for museums, weddings or any situation where a flash is prohibited or inappropriate.
  • P, S, A, and M Modes:
    • Programmed Auto: Choose from one of the automatically selected shutter speed/aperture combinations and allows control over exposure compensation, metering and other features.
    • Shutter-Priority Auto: You determine the shutter speed to freeze or blur motion, while the camera decides the ideal aperture.
    • Aperture-Priority Auto: Simply select the aperture to control the depth-of-field and the camera determines the ideal shutter speed.
    • Manual: Choose both the shutter speed and the aperture on your own. You can refer to the electronic analog exposure display of the camera for help with appropriate exposures.
  • User-defined Modes (U1 and U2): You can store most camera settings in U1 or U2 so you can recall them at any time without having to enter the menu.
  • Special Effects: Special effects can be used when recording images. You can choose from: Night Vision, Color Sketch, Miniature Effect, Selective Color, Silhouette, High Key, and Low Key.
  • Scene Modes: The camera offers a choice of Scene modes to automatically optimize the settings to suit the selected scene. You can choose from: Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sports, Close Up, Night Portrait, Night Landscape, Party/Indoor, Beach/Snow, Sunset, Dusk/Dawn, Pet Portrait, Candlelight, Blossom, Autumn Colors, and Food.

Exposure Compensation: You can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure from -5.0 to +5.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps.

White Balance: White balance is used to preserve natural colors under different types of lighting. When the camera is set to one of the exposure modes, you can choose one of the following white balance options: Auto (3 settings), Incandescent, Fluorescent (7 settings), Direct Sunlight, Flash, Cloudy, Shade, Color Temperature, and Preset Manual.

Bracketing: Bracketing automatically varies exposure, flash level, Active D-Lighting (ADL), or white balance slightly with each shot, "bracketing" the current value. You can set up the bracketing details as follows:

  • Exposure: 2-5 frames in steps of 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 1, 2, or 3EV
  • Flash: 2-3 frames in steps of 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 1, or 2 EV
  • ADL: 2 frames using selected value for one frame, or 3 frames using preset values for all frames.
  • White Balance: 3 frames in steps if 1 EV

ISO Sensitivity: ISO Sensitivity is the digital equivalent of film speed. When lighting is poor, the camera will automatically increase sensitivity, permitting faster exposures, and minimizing blur caused by inadvertent camera movement, up to a maximum equivalent of ISO 6400. You can also manually select from ISO settings 100 to 6400, with incremental steps of 1/3 EV. You can also choose Hi 0.3 (ISO 8000 equivalent), Hi 0.7 (ISO 10000 equivalent), Hi 1 (ISO 12800 equivalent) or Hi 2 (ISO 25600 equivalent) for even higher sensitivity.

Active D-Lighting: Nikon's Active D-Lighting can correct exposure issues due to difficult lighting conditions instantly and automatically while you shoot. Active D-Lighting preserves details in highlights and shadows, creating photographs with natural contrast.

Flash: The D7100 has a built-in pop-up flash for illuminating poorly-lit scenes or to fill in shadows and backlit subjects. It provides coverage for the angle of view of a 16mm lens. There are several flash modes available, which vary depending upon the shooting mode selected:

  • Off: flash does not fire even when lighting is poor or subject is backlit
  • Auto: When lighting is poor or the subject is back lit, flash pops up automatically when shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
  • Red-eye Reduction: reduces the red-eye effect sometimes caused by flash.
  • Slow Sync: flash is combined with slow shutter speeds to capture both subject and background at night or under dim light
  • Rear-curtain Sync: The flash fires just before the shutter closes, creating effect of stream of light following moving subjects
  • Fill Flash: flash will fire whenever a picture is taken

Accessory Shoe: The camera has an accessory shoe for mounting optional SB-series Speedlights. The camera supports the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS) and can be used with CLS-compatible flash units, such as SB-910, SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, SB-400, and SB-R200.

Remote Flash Photography: The D7100 can control remotely-mounted flash units using the built-in flash (in Commander mode), a hot shoe-mounted flash (if it can be configured as a master unit), or the optional SU-800 Wireless Speedlight Commander.

Flash Exposure Compensation: In P, S, A, and M modes, the flash exposure compensation can be used to increase or reduce flash output from the level chosen by the camera's flash control system. The flash exposure compensation can be set to values between -3 EV (darker) and +1 EV (brighter) in increments of 1/3 or 1/2 EV.

Virtual Horizon: The camera can display a virtual horizon based on information from the camera tilt sensor. This can be displayed in the viewfinder or on the LCD monitor in Live View.

Picture Controls: When the camera is set to one of the P, S, A, or M modes, you can choose from the following image enhancement options:

  • Standard: Standard processing for balanced results--recommended for most situations.
  • Neutral: Minimal processing for natural results. Choose for photos that will later be extensively processed or retouched.
  • Vivid: Pictures are enhanced for a vivid photoprint effect. Choose for photographs that emphasize primary colors.
  • Monochrome: takes photos in black and white
  • Portrait: lowers contrast while lending natural texture and rounded feel
  • Landscape: produces vibrant landscapes and cityscapes

Optional Wi-Fi: You can attach the optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter to the USB/AV connector. This will allows the camera to be connected via Wi-Fi (wireless LAN) to a smart device, such as a smartphone or tablet. Through the wireless connection (IEEE 802.11b/g/n), you can automatically load photos and videos to your device as you take them, use your smart device to remotely take photos on the camera, or download existing pictures from the camera's memory card to your device. Once you have downloaded images to your smartphone, you can share them via email, texts, or social networking sites.

Note: The smart device must have the Wireless Mobile Adapter Utility application, available for devices running Android 2.3 or later (smartphones), Android 3.0 or later (tablets), or iOS 6.0 or later (iPhone, iPad).

Optional GPS: The GP-1 GPS unit (sold separately) can be connected to the camera's accessory terminal to allow information on the camera's current position to be recorded when photographs are taken.

Multi-Language Menu: You can choose from one of 32 languages for display of the camera menus and messages including English, French and Spanish.

How do I set-up this camera to take time lapse video? You know, like clouds that race across the sky or stars that move across the heavens.

Hi John, I have not had the time to work with my D7100 in video mode and therefore would not be a good source for you in that regard. When I shot my time lapse they were all single shot and combined into a slide show for playback. With regard to the D7100 I do not believe you can adjust the aperture in video mode, in my work I use aperture to control depth of field, allowing me to be more creative. Let me know how your time lapse turns out, good luck. Nick

Download the PDF user manual (or see the manual that came with the camera) Instructions are on page 155. It is called Interval Timer Photography. Hope this helps.

You need to go into setup and select time lapse.

Hello John, I have not used the video feature of the D7100, however I have shot many time lapse sequences with a Nikon D2X using an intervalometer, a device which triggers the shutter at preset intervals. The resulting images are then combined for sequential playback. I hope this helps. Take Care, Nick
