Video Mode

(User’s Manual – Page 237)

If you plan to connect your D7000 to a video device, like a standard-definition television (SDTV) or VCR, be sure to use the correct Video mode for communication with the device.

Your camera has a video-out port under the rubber flap on the side (A/V OUT), which allows you to connect with devices that use RCA jacks for input. Nikon includes a cable in the camera box for this connector. It has a ministereo plug on one end and yellow and white RCA jacks on the other end. Insert the ministereo plug into the A/V OUT port on the camera, and insert the RCA jacks into the video device. When you turn the camera on and press the Playback button, the image should display on the video device.

Make sure that you have the correct Video mode selected for your area of the world. There are two video modes available in the D7000: NTSC and PAL. Use the following steps to select a Video mode:

  1. Select Video mode from the Setup Menu and then scroll to the right (Figure 5-12, image 1).

  2. Choose NTSC or PAL from the menu (Figure 5-12, image 2).

  3. Press the OK button to lock in your selection.

My Recommendation: You’ll need to refer to the manual of your television, VCR, or other device to determine what video standard it uses. In the United States and many other areas of the world, the NTSC mode is commonly used. Many European countries use PAL. It won’t harm the device or camera if you use the wrong mode. If one doesn’t work, try the other.
