Mastering the Nikon D7200

An excellent and very informative book.Will definitely enjoy reading it

This book greatly expands upon the manual you get with the camera. There are so many options, and Darrell does a great job explaining practical uses for them.

👍🏻

If you own a Nikon D7200 then I think this book is a must, even if you've been using the camera for some time. Pretty much everything you could want to know about how to operate this camera and change the settings for the better are here. What's more, the author, who is a long time professional photographer, also adds his own take at the end of each section on what settings he prefers to use, and why he prefers it. This is very useful indeed if you're not a professional.But just to be clear to people, though: this isn't a "How to take photographs" type book; it's purely about how to operate this excellent camera.

This is a review of "Mastering the the Nikon D7200," but I have a history with the author's work that is worth mentioning. I first discovered Darrell's work in 2009 when I received the Nikon D90 as a gift. I had decided it was time to learn how to shoot manually and figured the best place to start was with a how-to manual for the camera I owned, plus a lot of experimentation and reading on photography in general. I don't remember how I came across "Mastering the Nikon D90," but I was hooked from the beginning. Darrell's straightforward discussion of each camera feature, broken down into easy to reference sections, plus his suggested settings jump-started my learning process. "Mastering the Nikon D7000" was equally excellent, and now I am pleased to own this one.While I may also order the electronic copy of this book, I particularly enjoy having the hardcover. The book is visually pleasing and well-organized, with an extensive index. If you are familiar with the other books in the series, you will find things satisfyingly consistent. But the best part of this book is the straightforward discussion about the myriad features of the Nikon D7200, starting with initial camera set-up. There are choices to make, and Darrell makes these distinctions easy to understand. But lest you think this book is just for a beginner, it is not. Darrell manages to impart the simple information necessary to become familiar with the camera's basic features, but also delves deeper for those who are ready for or needing more in depth information, as well as including helpful links with further information.The book is thick enough to feel the satisfaction of knowing that if you read it all, you'll be light years ahead of many D7200 owners, but not so thick that you can't take it with you when you need to. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
