Changing Default Settings

This section is purely optional, especially for true beginners, who should skip it entirely for now, and return when they’ve gained some experience with this full-featured camera. This section is for the benefit of those who want to know now some of the most common changes I recommend to the default settings of your D7000. Nikon has excellent reasons for using these settings as a default; I have better reasons for changing them.

Even if this is your first experience with a Nikon digital SLR, you can easily make a few changes to the default settings that I’m going to recommend, and then take your time learning why I suggest these changes when they’re explained in the more detailed chap- ters of this book. I’m not going to provide step-by-step instructions for changing set- tings here; I’ll give you an overview of how to make any setting adjustment, and leave you to navigate through the fairly intuitive D7000 menu system to make the changes yourself.
