Help!

OK, so you need some help with your D7100/D7000. There are many places on the internet to get help. Here are my recommendations:

General questions about functionality and features?

Inevitably, you’ll end up with questions about your  D7100/D7000 and how to use it. It’s a complex camera and will take quite some time to learn, especially if it’s your first DSLR.

Most frequently, something won’t quite work as you thought it would. You’ll find the AF points won’t move, or you only see one AF point light up in a mode where you would expect lots more.

Pretty much everyone gets stuck at some point and needs some help. The good news is that it’s quite an established camera and there’s quite a community out there to help you!

There are lots of forums in which very experienced users frequent on a daily basis. My recommendations would be as follows:
