With Nikon’s newly
developed Advanced
Multi-CAM 3500DX
autofocus sensor module
featuring a high density
of 51 focus points (including 15 cross-type
sensors), the D7100 can focus sharply
on some of the most elusive of subjects.
This AF system also achieves a wider AF
detection range down to -2 EV* and faster
initial detection, just like that of the D4. The
center cross-type sensor is compatible with
f/8, which means that you can autofocus
on distant subjects even with an effective
aperture of f/8 when a 2.0x teleconverter is
attached to a telephoto NIKKOR lens with a
maximum aperture of f/4.
In addition to the regular DX-format size,
that enables shooting at an angle of view
equivalent to approx. 1.5x*
1
lens focal
length, the D7100 also has a 1.3× crop
of DX option, which instantly provides
an angle of view equivalent to approx.
2.0x*
1
lens focal length, while delivering a
sufficient image resolution of approx. 15.4
effective megapixels. In this mode, the 51
focus points cover almost the entire frame,
realizing extremely high capturing power.
Add to this approx. 7-fps continuous
shooting*
2
, and you can see how the
D7100 captures fast and erratic subjects
with greater efficiency.

The optical viewfinder,
that features clear viewing
with approx. 100% frame
coverage and magnification
ratio of 0.94x*, supports
comfortable and precise composition.
The high-intensity, high-contrast, energy-
saving organic EL display element, newly
employed for the viewfinder information
display beneath the image area, also
contributes to the excellent visibility. The
response of the display in low-temperature
conditions has been further improved.
Thanks to its new RGBW alignment, the
newly employed, large, high-resolution
LCD monitor features improved brightness.
Combined with the integrated glass-and-
panel structure*, it greatly enhances
visibility, even under bright conditions.
*Equivalent to that utilized in the D4, D800 series and D600.
In order to maximize the high resolution
realized by its high pixel count, the D7100’s
image sensor unit does not integrate an
optical low-pass filter (OLPF)*. This system
successfully brings out NIKKOR lenses’
sharp rendering performance to make
full use of the 24.1-megapixel resolution
achieved with the Nikon DX-format CMOS
sensor, delivering stunning reproduction of
details with depth.
Nikon’s exclusive image-processing
engine EXPEED 3 handles multiple tasks
at ultra-fast speeds while maintaining high
precision in order to maximize the potential
of 24.1 megapixels in stills and movies.
The result: superior color reproduction, rich
tonal gradation and high image quality at
high ISO.
The D7100 is capable of clear and
exquisite image quality across ISO 100
to 6400, which can go up to Hi 2, an ISO
25600 equivalent. The camera’s intelligent
noise-reduction system delivers smooth,
saturated color without sacrificing fine
detail, even with low-contrast subjects, in
both stills and movies.
Spot White Balance allows you to easily
acquire preset manual data by choosing a
specific area of the scene during live view.
Pinpoint white balance setting is realized
according to your subject or a part of it in
the monitor. This eliminates the need to
use a gray card or change lenses, even
when employing super-telephoto lenses.
This comes in handy when shooting in
mixed-lighting situations like stadium
sports events.
Exquisite Full HD video quality
Using an image sensor unit with 24.1 effective
megapixels, designed without an optical low-
pass filter, and employing the EXPEED 3 image-
processing engine, the D7100 records Full HD
video with exquisite detail reproduction. Your
cinematic potential is expanded further with
D-SLR shooting advantages such as the wide
range of interchangeable NIKKOR lenses. For the
smoothest recordings of fast-moving subjects,
use 1280 × 720 at 60p, or try the movie image
area based on 1.3× crop of DX with 1920 × 1080
at either 60i or 50i. The D7100 also has a built-in
stereo microphone. The file size is compressed
in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC format, providing you
with a maximum recording time of 29 min. 59 s
for a single clip*.
*20 min. with

high image quality.
Multi-area mode Full HD D-Movie with movie image
area based on 1.3× crop of DX
The D7100 offers you two movie image areas:
one based on the DX format and the other on
the 1.3× crop of DX. Using the 1.3× crop of DX
delivers an angle of view equivalent to approx.
2.0x* lens focal length — an amazing amount of
reach to the subject. Also helped by the agility
of the compact, lightweight DX-format system,
you can boldly get closer to even smaller, more
distant subjects.
