Hi all

 

How do you change the back display info, please. I have just bought the 7200 after having the 3400.

 

The videos I watched on YouTube showed a different display which i liked, but can't find the settings where to change it. the videos show all the dots for the AF setting, which will save me looking through the viewfinder when changing the AF.

 

Hope this makes sense

 

Thanks Di :D .

I've got a D7200 and thought you could customize the "i" (info) screen. But after looking in the original camera manual as well as in "Mastering the D7200" (which is better than the manual IMO) I was unable to find anything.

 

I was really kind of hoping to find what you're talking about, because the D90 had that info on the top LCD and I kind of miss it. But no luck :(

Robbins40, could you please share a link to one of the youtube videos, just so we know what you have seen and maybe someone has an answer.

I’m not sure how you share a YouTube video but if u search any videos for setting up the 7200 they show a lot with the 7100. I think the info display I like is only on the 7100. The only fault I have found with the 7200 is you can’t change the back info display screen. Even the 3400 has a few different options. Unless the 7200 has some secret settings to change it.

To share a youtube video, just copy the URL and paste it in your post.

 

The reason for the lack of options for the info screen is that the D7xxx aren't menu- and screendriven in the same way as the D3xxx and D5xxx. They are made to use without taking the eye from the finder instead of looking at the screen.

Thank you. It’s getting used to not using the back info screen after using it for so long on the D3400. 😀
