Resetting - Nikon D7200 Quick Setup Manual

18 David Busch's Compact Field Guide for the Nikon D7200
To transfer images from a memory card to the computer using a card reader,
do the following:
1. Turn off the camera.
2. Slide open the memory card door and remove the SD card.
3. Insert the memory card into your memory card reader. Your installed
software detects the files on the card and offers to transfer them. The card
can also appear as a mass storage device on your desktop, which you can
open and then drag and drop the files to your computer.
Resetting the Nikon D7200
If you want to change from the factory default values, you might think that it
would be a good idea to make sure that the Nikon D7200 is set to the factory
defaults in the first place. After all, even a brand-new camera might have had
its settings changed at the retailer, or during a demo. Unfortunately, Nikon
doesn't make it easy to reset all settings in the camera to their factory defaults.
In fact, there are no fewer than four different ways to "reset" the D7200, each
of which does slightly different things. Those ways include:
Two-button reset. This type of "rebooting" changes the most basic set-
n
tings in your camera, and is useful when you want to cancel the most
common changes you make when adjusting your camera. It does not
affect all Shooting menu settings, or any of the Custom Settings memory
banks, described next. I'll show you how to perform the two-button reset
shortly.
Shooting menu bank reset. The Shooting menu has a separate Reset
n
Shooting menu option in the Menu Banks entry that zeroes out the
changes you've made to the default options.
Custom Settings menu bank reset. The Custom Settings menu also has
n
a separate Reset Custom Settings option that zeroes out most of the
changes you've made to the default options. A two-button reset does not
affect any of the settings in the Custom Settings menu banks.
Cold reset. The only way to reset all of the D7200's internal settings is to
n
remove the battery and allow the internal backup battery to run down
until the settings are lost, which can take as long as several weeks, which
isn't really practical. You can remove the battery and then turn on the
camera briefly to reset most settings, but this won't zero out all settings to
the factory defaults as long as some juice remains in the backup battery
(which is tucked deep inside the camera and not user-accessible). You
might want to try a cold reset if your camera is hopelessly locked up, and
you'd like to make one last attempt at restoring it to factory operation
before sending it in for service.
