The new Nikon D7000 : little known features

Non-trivial things that I have found, playing with the new camera and reading the user manual, over the last 5 days. Enjoy :-)

VaritadDeCai,

I believe that you are referring to the Depth of Field Preview button, at he base of the lens. My surprise, there, was that while you do see the Depth of View Preview through the lens, if by any chance you have the flash up when you press it, then a stroboscopic light comes out of the flash to illuminate the Depth of Field Preview scene. That's cool!

Glad that this is useful. I feel the same sometimes about manuals!

Take care,

Daniel

Thank you for the nice comment about the kitchen. We completed its renovation in April 2010 and are quite happy with the brightly colored modern materials. I'll try to show more in an upcoming video!

isnt the quiet mode just the same as having it on bulb shutter mode?

[danpro2002]

@adenhatesx

Good day and thanks for watching the video,

The quiet is not similar to the bulb mode: the exposure is done based on the camera's exposure meeter, independently of the time that you hold the shutter button. As you press the shutter button, the mirro flips up in such a way as to minimize noise; the exposure is then taken; only when you release the shutter button will the mirror go back down.

So the D7000 has a built-in intervelometer? This is something that manufacturers should have put in camera's years ago. That's pretty cool.

[danpro2002]

@randytate Yep! As you say, it should have been there long ago, as this is relatively simple for a processor to do.... I guess it was to keep a hiearchy in the features, between the less costly and the professional cameras? Thanks for your attention. Daniel

@danpro2002 actually your statement is incorrect. This function is present on the D90 (i have both models) and it's actually the modeling flash. It will trigger whenever the flash is raised (even if the aperture is wide open) so you would preview shadows and highlights as you'll see them after you take the picture using the flash. You can deactivate this in the menu. The DOF Preview seconds as a Flash Preview.

The modelling flash doesn't sound very good. I'm leaving it off lol!

Thanks for your comments.  I've been using this camera and the D300s and never knew that.
