Recording Features

Overview: The Nikon D7500 2 Lens Outfit includes the D7500 digital SLR camera body, with the AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR and AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR zoom lenses. The kit also includes a EN-EL15b rechargeable Lithium Ion battery pack, USB cable, and a battery charger.

LCD Monitor: The D7500 has a 3.2" TFT LCD monitor featuring approximately 922,000 dots, a 170-degree viewing angle, 100% frame coverage, and adjustable brightness (-5 to +5). 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 and movies 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.

Optical Viewfinder: The D7500 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 in DX mode; 97% in 1.3x mode. 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 DK-5 eyepiece cap to cover the eyepiece.

Image Sensor: The D7500 features a Nikon DX-format 23.5mm x 15.7mm CMOS image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately 21.51 million pixels and an effective pixel count of approximately 20.9 million. The camera is equipped with the EXPEED 5 processor, the same as the D500 camera, which provides an increased number of continuous shots, improved noise reduction, improved white balance, enhanced definition, Clarity Picture Control, and 1080/60p full HD movies.

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-D software.

Recording Media: The camera records images on Secure Digital (SD) memory cards, including SDHC and SDXC cards compliant with UHS-I. Cards rated with UHS Speed Class 3 or better are recommended for movie recording. A SanDisk 32GB SDHC UHS-I Speed Class 1 memory card is included with the camera.

Built-in Wi-Fi / Bluetooth: The camera can be connected via Wi-Fi (wireless LAN) or Bluetooth to a smart device, such as a smartphone or tablet running Nikon's SnapBridge app. Through the wireless connection, 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 SnapBridge application is available for devices running Android 5.0 or later or iOS 12 or later (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch).

Still Image Formats: The D7500 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:

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 D7500 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. Each movie will be recorded across up to 8 files of up to 4 GB each, with a maximum length of 29 min 59 sec. Movies can be recorded in the following frame sizes and rates:

Focus Modes: The D7500'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 D7500 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.
• Group-Area AF: The camera focuses using a group of focus points selected by the user, reducing the risk of the camera focusing on the background instead of the main subject.
• Auto-Area AF: The camera automatically detects the subject and selects the focus point.

Note: Face-priority AF, Wide-area AF, Normal-area AF, and Subject-tracking AF can be selected during Live View.

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. Using the Release-Mode Dial on the top left of the camera, you can 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 1-7 fps while the shutter release button is held down.
• Continuous High Speed: While the shutter release button is held down, the camera records up to 8 fps.
• 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.
• Quiet Continuous: While the shutter release button is held down, the camera records up to 3 frames per second with no camera noise.
• Self-timer: This mode can be used to reduce camera shake or for self-portraits. You can set the delay time to 2, 5, 10, or 20 seconds. You can set the self-timer to take between 1 and 9 photos at intervals of 0.5, 1, 2, or 3 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 III: The D7500's 3D Color Matrix Metering III 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 180k-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 III, 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, Super Vivid, Pop, Photo Illustration, Toy Camera Effect, 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. You can fine-tune the white balance along the amber-blue axis in steps of 0.5, and the green-magenta axis in steps of 0.25.

Bracketing: Bracketing automatically varies exposure, flash level, Active D-Lighting (ADL), or white balance slightly with each shot, "bracketing" the current value. You can choose the number of shots, the increment and the order of the bracketing.

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 25600. You can also manually select from ISO settings 100 to 51200, with incremental steps of 1/3 EV. You can also choose Low 0.3 through Low 1 (equivalent to ISO 80 through 50), or Hi 0.3 through Hi 5 (equivalent to ISO 64000 through 1640000).

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 D7500 has a built-in pop-up flash for illuminating poorly-lit scenes or to fill in shadows and backlit subjects. Auto Pop-up Modes include: Auto flash, Auto with red-eye reduction, Auto slow sync with red-eye reduction, Auto slow sync, and Off. Manual Pop-up Modes include: Fill flash, Red-eye reduction, Red-eye reduction with slow sync, Slow sync, Slow rear-curtain sync, Rear-curtain sync, and Off. The built-in flash has a minimum range of 2 feet.

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-5000, SB-910, SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, SB-400, SB-300, and SB-R200.

Remote Flash Photography: The D7500 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 WR-R10 Wireless Remote Adapter.

Flash Compensation: In P, S, A, and M modes, the flash 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 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:

• Auto: The camera automatically adjusts hues and tones based on standard Picture Control. The complexions of portrait subjects appear softer and foliage and sky appear more vivid than in pictures taken with standard Picture Control.
• 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
• Flat: details preserved over a wide tone range, from highlights to shadows

Optional GPS: The optional GP-1 and GP-1a GPS units 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 36 languages for display of the camera menus and messages including English, French and Spanish.

Streaming Webcam: Using Nikon's Webcam Utility software, you can use the camera to live stream high quality video on many of the popular video conferencing software platforms. You will need to connect the camera to your computer via the included USB cable. The camera's microphone will not capture sound, so a separate microphone is needed, plugged into the computer's microphone port. Optional accessories include a tripod or other mount, and a constant light source. The software works with many of your favorite streaming apps, including Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, Facebook Messenger, and Microsoft Teams. Nikon's Webcam Utility is compatible with Windows 10 Home, Pro, or Enterprise (64-bit only) and macOS Big Sur (Version 11), macOS Catalina (Version 10.15), macOS Mojave (Version 10.14), and macOS High Sierra (Version 10.13).

Lens Features

Lens Overview: The Nikon D7500 2 Lens Outfit includes the AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR and the AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR zoom lenses. The 18-55mm lens is a wide-angle-to-normal-length zoom lens. The Nikon 70-300mm lens is a super telephoto zoom lens that is ideal for capturing sports, wildlife, concerts, and landmarks, and works well for videos as well as still images. Both lenses are part of Nikon's "P" series of lenses, and uses a pulse motor for fast autofocus. They also both have Nikon's Vibration Reduction technology to help reduce blur caused by camera shake. The lenses are optimized for use on Nikon DX-format cameras with APS-C-sized image sensors. They will work on FX-format (full frame) cameras in the DX-crop mode.

Nikon Features: The lenses feature many Nikon technologies:

• Pulse Motor (P): Nikon's new "P" series of lenses use a pulse motor (utilizing stepping motors) for smoother and quieter focusing, compared to previous drive systems. This type of drive system is very quiet, making it ideal for shooting video.
• Aspherical Lens Element (AS): The 18-55mm lens contains Aspherical lens elements which contain non-spherical surfaces on either or both sides to eliminate certain types of lens aberration.
• Extra-Low Dispersion Glass (ED): The 70-300mm lens is constructed with Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements developed by Nikon and used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.
• Vibration Reduction (VR): Nikon's Vibration Reduction helps reduce blur caused by camera shake, and allows shutter speeds up to 4.0 stops slower than without VR. Vibration Reduction applies lens shift correction using voice coil motors (VCMs).
• M/A: The lenses can be used in manual or automatic focusing. You can easily and seamlessly switch from one mode to another with no lag time by simply turning the focusing ring.
• Super Integrated Coating (SIC): The lens features a multi-layered coating of the optical elements.

Diaphragm: The lenses are equipped with a rounded 7-blade diaphragm, which can achieve beautiful bokeh with soft, natural edges that smoothly diminishes away from your focal point. The bokeh characteristics can provide smooth focusing transitions to draw attention to your subject when recording HD video.

Optional Lens Hoods: Optional bayonet lens hoods can be used to protect the lens and block stray light that would cause lens flare and ghosting. The compatible hood for the 18-55mm lens is the HB-N106. The compatible hood for the 70-300mm lens is the HB-77.

Warranty Terms: Nikon offers a 1-year parts and labor warranty on this lens. An additional 4-year Extended Service Coverage is available at no charge if you register the product with Nikon within 10 days of purchase.
