I own a D7000 and have discovered that the DOFP does not function in live view mode. This was confirmed by Nikon tech support.

So my question is does the DOFP work in live view for the D7100?

I also own a D800E and the DOFP does work in the live view mode for this camera.

Just in case ....... DOFP = depth of field preview.

I didn't think it did, but was not positive so I checked. No, DOFP does not work in Live View mode on the D7100.

It does not; I discovered that shortly after buying the camera. It hasn't been a problem for me, though, because I generally only use live view for video.

My d7000 is soon to be my back up camera (after "killing" my d200 in a fit of clumsiness) Had it for a few years, and other than the day I got the D-7000 all excited about finally having a camerw with live view...it is the only time it has been on. Other than video work, can I ask when you find it more convienient to use live view? Not trying to be sarcastic, just wondering when people use live view, and how, in case I'm missing something. Remember, I'm an old dog, and don't learn new tricks very well.

I found it to be a problem shooting the moon. I use live view to help focus the moon image. One can zoom way in on the image in live view using the + button. However, it is so bright it causes the moon image to bloom, so closing the aperture to its shooting value will stop the blooming, allowing very accurate focusing.
Works great with the D800E but not so with the D7000 because the aperture doesn't close down when asked to, such as using the DOFP feature. Seems like a simple fix in the firmware would take care of this oversight. I see no reason for it not to work this way.

Hmm, makes sense. I haven't "shot the moon" since I was a kid. HA! Actually, I figured it had a lot to do with style and subject. Thanks.
