Table of contents

All the basic settings of the D5200 summarised and clearly explained. They cover what is helpful or necessary before you start shooting.B. Taking pictures | Nikon D5200 guide
All the D5200 settings and functions for taking pictures on one page. One press with the index finger = one photo: No, it's not that simple anymore. Read here about the different ways to play with what the shutter release button can do.C. Autofocus | Nikon D5200 guide
All D5200 autofocus settings listed and explained on one page. In the end, they serve only one simple objective: to focus the lens at the moment of shutter release to the distance your subject needs. But there are remarkably many ways to achieve this.D. Exposure | Nikon D5200 guide
All D5200 settings around exposure, i.e. everything that leads to a combination of aperture, exposure time and ISO and thus controls the image brightness, collected here on one page.E. Flash | Nikon D5200 guide
All D5200 settings concerning the built-in flash described together in clear language – whether it will light up or not, if so, how bright and when exactly...F. JPG- and RAW files | Nikon D5200 guide
All D5200 settings related to the creation of JPG and RAW files explained. They control what can happen to the image data on its way from the sensor to a finished JPG and/or RAW file.G. Image and movie playback | Nikon D5200 guide
All the settings and subtleties of the D5200 around image and film playback. There's much more to it than just pressing the playback button and flicking back and forth.H. Live view and movies | Nikon D5200 guide
The complete D5200 settings for live view and video recording. Live view is the display of an image preview on the monitor instead of in the viewfinder; the D5200 then behaves differently and movie recording is only possible in live view.I. Menus and shooting information | Nikon D5200 guide

All of the D5200's settings to customise operation to your personal preferences.K. Other customisations | Nikon D5200 guide
