I borrowed my son's 7100 to see if I would like to purchase one. Of course the manual is not to be found anywhere.. The most of the menu I have figured out but when using the internal flash, it fires 2 times and takes the same image twice. Does anyone know what that is for and how can I shut it off in the menu. I have made many passes through the menu and cannot make out how to correct it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The camera is set for burst mode.
Setting d5 us probably set for two.

You can download the manual for free from Nikonusa.com.
Most likely bracketing is on.

If you are serious about owning a DSLR Camera, I would suggest the D7200 low mileage used or refurbished. It is basically the same camera but has an improved sensor (next generation). Slightly higher burst speed as well.
Darrell Young's books on the D7xxx Series cameras are excellent.

It could be that red eye reduction is turned on. The flash would fire twice if it's in that mode.

What you describe sounds like flash only bracketing is set. So you want to turn bracketing off.
Here is how I disable bracketing on my D7000
1. press and hold the BKT button under the flash release button.
2. Look in the viewfinder, or at the LCD on top, and rotate the command dial until BKT disappears.
Here is how to set bracketing options on my D7000
1. Select Bracketing/Flash.
2. Select auto bracketing set
I expect you will see “Flash Only” is enabled
You can change it if you like.
FYI - The manual is easily found on line.
Please let me know if that works.

I agree. The D7200 would be the much better choice. The D7100 does not have an internal focusing motor so lenses without a focusing motor can only focus manually on the D7100.

I believe that it has the same internal focus motor capabilities as the D7200.
The D7100 will perform well for most shooters and is priced quite well.

Not quite correct: My D7100 and D7200 both have screw drive for AF, as well as electronic connection for lens drive motor, huge array of lenses will work with the D7xxx series - it is the D5xxx and D3xxx series Nikons that do not have mech. screw drive for older lenses. They are both fine cameras, D7200 is a tad faster to focus, bit larger buffer, both use Toshiba Sensors, I have absolutely no complaints about either model. I keep a big lens (150-600) on one and a wide-to-tele (18-300) on the other, for quick grab and go when I want to.

The D7100 has an internal focusing motor and you could use screw drive lenses on it. Older ais lenses have to be focused manualy.

My D7000 has the internal focus motor so unless they took it out, the D7100 must have it too.

LOL, my D7100 has a built in flash, but my D500 and D850 do not...

You are correct. The prior poster that said it does not have the internal focusing motor was incorrect.
