Hi,
This is more of a Classified "search" question/request. I have a Nikon D7200 camera. The camera comes with a hard copy user manual; about 5 inches by 4 inches and around 400 pages. The Nikon part number is 6MB27011-02 (en) for english. It is a very handy reference guide, listing all of the settings and functions and small enough to fit in my camera bag.
My problem -- I lost my copy. I contacted Nikon (Nikonusa.com) and asked the cost of a replacement hard copy manual. Nikon reply was "we have gone green" and no longer have/supply hard copy replacement manuals. You can download a PDF file of the manual and they gave the Nikon web address for the manual.
I already had downloaded the manual. The PDF file is a copy of the manual, but prints 8 1/2 X 11 pages which do not fit well in a camera bag.

I searched with Google and did not find any references to a hard copy of the manual, just several places to download the PDF file ( most linking back to the Nikon website).

My request/question: Any help on where I might find a hard copy of the manual? ( On a side note; If I were to buy a new D7200 there would be a copy on the manual in the box, so Nikon is still printing the manual. Frustrating is Nikon choosing not to sell replacement manuals)

Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

Can you - or a print/copy - resize the PDF?

Good luck

I have a program called Clickbook ... that will let you print practically any size booklet. (though have not used it in years)

The problem would be binding it afterwards. Possibly places like Office Depot, Staples, etc could spiral bound it.

The software can be seen here: https://www.bluesquirrel.com/products/clickbook/

Thanks for the reminder --- I also have used Clickbook in (distant) the past. I will have to dig through my programs and see if it still runs.

Does your printer allow for printing as a booklet?
When I download a manual like this, I'll print it four pages on a letter-sized sheet of paper. It's double sided printing of course, and I don't have to worry about the order of the pages - the printer software sorts that out for me.
When it's finished printing, I use a guillotine-style papercutter to cut the sheets exactly in half, then stack them, make sure I've kept them in the correct order. Then I cut holes in the edge and run a spiral binding through them. Done.

(I'm fortunate to own a spiral binder; once the sheets are cut in half, Staples will be happy to put a spiral in for you. Last time I used their service was about 3 yrs ago, for the Olympus OM-D E-M1 it cost me just over CAD$10.)

Lots of companies have gone "green," meaning they have an ecological excuse for saving money.

I know I have a D600 manual, but I don't think I have the D7000 series. I'll dig through my pile of manuals and let you know. I suspect someone will have one for you before I finish looking.

This is where I got a manual for my new camera. The camera came without a manual. I would recommend buying a manual here. It was shipped promptly and I had it in a few days. I don't believe selling a camera without a manual is a good idea. Not everybody has a phone that can access this info and does not want to carry a big stack of 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper.

Nikon includes a printed copy of each manual in with their NEW boxed cameras. Stocking reprinted copies is expensive and (with the ability to purchase secondary books etc. from booksellers) an unneeded expense. Most people have preferred the pdf copy (I have pdfs for each of my cameras) on their computers, phones, I-pads and other electronic devices. Yes I prefer the hold the book in my hands too and was fortunate to pic up a couple of spares for my D7100. However, if you purchased your camera used, since Nikon no longer has the print version, you will have to take the pdf to Staples, or similar company and they will print it for a fee. GET THE PRICE OF THE FEE before your have it printed because it wont be cheap but it may be about what the manual would have cost you from Nikon ($20 US) or so.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks

So carry it on your phone and use a pdf reader app.

Nikon has an app that lets you download any available Nikon manuals, whether you own the product or not.

Not my phone. It really is a piece of junk. Verizon calls it a smart phone. Not getting where they come up with that. It takes over 20 minutes to connect to the internet. GPS is useless. By the time it connects, I can be 30 miles down the road. It is good for making and receiving calls (which is what I bought it for) and checking the weather. To do the weather check I need to be at home on my wifi or be very patient. Next phone will be back to a flip phone.
