I don't know of a book per se... But I am a visual learner. I just google d7200 tutorial and this came back. I know there are some who don't like Tony and/or Chelsea... and all fine and good, but this is a pretty strait forward tutorial on the basics. I used a Jared Polen Video to teach me the most about the basics of my d7500... the Steve Perry and others. I'm always looking at something. Hope this helps

And here is a bunch on the D7100. Very similar controls and features. May be helpful

I own Nikon D7200. I have Mastering The D7200 by Darrell Young and love it. Gives you step-by-step instruction with illustration and helpful tips both with the photo and video aspects of the camera. Of course, you can also find a lot of helpful instructions and tips in YouTube.

I owned this camera since about 3 years ago and still having difficulty with the basic features. All the reading didn't seem to be helping. Aha! I found out the reason why it's so. I need to implement just 3 simple words on a regular basis: Practice! Practice! Practice!

It's a wonderful camera. Good luck.

I have Davis Busch's book and Darrell Young's book on the D7200 - (both new in November 2018). They are both superb for me - a novice - but will still take me as far as I need as I learn. They differ in approach from each other but both excellent guides if, like me, you like a book in one hand & the camera in the other. If you like I will decide on one & send you the other - unless you're somewhere really far away!!

And if budget is an issue you could snag an old copy for the D7000 or D7100 - not much changed. You could even use any of the 7000 series books for the D600/610 bodies and not miss much.

I'll also throw in a pitch for "Secrets to the Nikon Autofocus System" by Steve Perry - What I thought I had figured out from the Daryl Young book on the D7000 and Nikon owners manuals was WRONG - they didn't say it wrong, I didn't understand and they didn't go into detail. The Secrets book was an eye opener and I ended up with many more action shots that were in focus.

Anything by Dave Busch, Darell Young, or Moose Peterson is worth a read.

I have always found David's books well written and informative.

If you really want to know all about a Nikon Camera - look for Thom Hogan's books. He does one for the D7200 - almost 600 pages.

Darrel Young covers every feature thoroughly and then makes suggestions for each setting plus he explains his reasons for doing so. It is my D-XXXX bible and I refer to it often.

I have both of David Bush's books on the D7200, Compact Field Guide, (which I use mostly), and the full version. They have been a great help. However, neither cover 100% of the camera's attributes. 99% yes. I have no knowledge regarding any of the other mentioned authors.

I'll give another Shout Out for Darrell Young's book, even though I do not have it. I have the fully featured D850 and Young's "Mastering-series" book on it has been a fountain of info, instruction, and "saving my bacon."

I see that Amazon has Darrell Young's book and it is a First Edition. Is there a later edition or is this the only one? Thanks.

All the ones you see mentioned on this post will help, if you like quick and dirty, the David Busch's Compact Field Guides are great, if heavier detail go for the big guides (500+ page guides). Check out Steve Perry's website too.
