Nikon Transfer, now included with Nikon View NX 2, is particularly well-suited for
D7000 owners, because it integrates easily with other Nikon software products, includ-
ing View NX and Nikon Capture NX2. You can download photos to your computer,
and then continue to work on them in the Nikon application (or third-party utility) of
your choice.
When a memory card is inserted into a card reader, or when the D7000 is connected
to your computer through a USB cable, Nikon Transfer recognizes the device, searches
it for thumbnails, and provides a display like the one shown in Figure 13.2. You can
preview the images and mark the ones you want to transfer with checks to create a
Transfer Queue.

After Nikon
Transfer dis-
plays thumb-
nails of the
images on your
memory card
or camera,
mark the ones
you want to
transfer.
Then, click on the Primary Destination tab (see Figure 13.3) and choose a location for
the photos that will be transferred. Nikon Transfer can create a new folder for each trans-
fer based on a naming convention you set up (click the Edit button next to the box at
top center in the figure), or copy to a folder named after the current folder in the
D7000’s memory card. You can keep the current filename as the files are transferred, or
assign a new name with a prefix you designate, such as Spain07_ . The program will
add a number from 001 to 999 to the filename prefix you specify.
