Quick Setup Guide

This chapter contains the essential information you need to get your Nikon
D5200 prepped and ready to go. You'll learn how to use a few of the basic
controls and features, and how to transfer your photos to your computer. If you
want a more complete map of the functions of your camera, skip ahead to
Chapter 2. Live view is touched on only briefly in this chapter; if you want to
begin using live view or shoot movies immediately, check out Chapter 6.

Pre-Flight Checklist

The initial setup of your Nikon D5200 is fast and easy. You just need to learn
a few controls, charge the battery, attach a lens, and insert a memory card.

Charging the Battery

When the battery is inserted into the MH-24 charger properly (it's impossible
to insert it incorrectly), an orange Charge light begins flashing, and remains
flashing until the status lamp glows steadily indicating that charging is fin-
ished, generally within about 90 minutes. When the battery is charged, slide
the latch on the bottom of the camera and ease the battery in, as shown in
Figure 1.1.
