Nikon D7200 shutter speed setting
Oct 9, 2021 16:14:15 #
I must have changed a setting in my Nikon 7200 and now I can not get the shutter speed to go above 1/60. When I look in the window at the top of the camera, there is a small x next to the shutter speed when the shutter speed is 1/60. HELP

It's set to use flash. In the menu there is a setting to disable it!
That's what I thought but I couldn't find the setting.

May be it's in the Green A mode and the flash is up because you have the camera in a dark place.

I don't think so. I have been shooting all day off and on in bright sunny settings in Manual mode. Apparently I inadvertently changed a setting and now I can't go above 1/60.

Turn the shutter speed dial in the opposite direction.

Oh my gosh!!!! You are a genius. So simple a solution and I totally missed it and never would have thought of it if you hadn't suggested it.

bobburk3 Nikon empowered the D7100 & D7200 with a feature for those who work in a studio.
Typically the highest syc speed for the on-board flash is 1/320 which does NOT work for many studio strobes that lack HSS.
To this end if you go into your Controls Menu under (e) Bracketing / flash is you can set a more appropriate Sync of 1/250 (or as most of the commercial shooters I assist choose 1/200 to avoid any miss-fires that do actually happen)
Now in Manual rotate your Shutter Command Dial all the way too the camera left and you'll see 1/200 x locked into both Manual and Shutter Mode. This is a priceless/precious feature the avoids you accidentally changing the SS during an intense studio session where you have a full team yelling at you to "do this' or "do that". So easy to get distracted in all the chaos... great to be able to "Lock" critical controls!
It so important that my D3x has a button of top of the camera to "Lock" this control... but then again the D3x is a studio camera... :)
Glad you get this handled...
All the best on your photographic journey!
