Help with my D7100

[BoisePhoto]

1. I've had my D7100 for a few weeks now. While setting it up I set the "Role Played By Card", I have the first slot is for RAW and the second is JPEG. I removed each of the cards and they both show JPEG, I don't see any reference to RAW on either in the info section. Can someone help?

2. Another question, I don't recall changing any settings for the size of the photos, but I have some at 4000 X 600 and some at 400 X 600, not sure what I may have done, any suggestions?

3. Last question, my flash is popping up all the time, even when I'm in bright light. I've checked the settings but not sure what I've done, help please.

1. Role Played by Card:
I am not sure of your situation, but ...
With two card choices, you can state preferences for target destination.
With only one card, that is where everything will have to go, choices are recalled.

2. I was not aware the camera could make a file as small as 400x600. There must be more to it... Can you specify more detail?

3. The flash pops up automatically, as it thinks necessary, when in the Auto and Scene modes.
The top dial has another setting to prevent it ever popping up in those modes.

In camera modes A, S, P, M, the popup flash will not open automatically. You open it when you want to use it, and shut when you do not.

Ah, I think I know what happened to you. The setting "role played by cards" is very different from the "Quality" setting. It's with the "Quality" button (push button while you turn the wheel) that you will let the camera know which quality mode you want files saved as.
Sorry for such a long sentence... I'm out of breath myself.

The settings appear in the top lcd display, or, if you previously pressed the info button, you will see your settings when you press the "quality" button. Bottom left in the back of the D7100 (could be the one above).

Let us know if it worked.

I looked a little closer and see that the flash pops up in Auto but not the customized settings. Here is the photo in question, in the "get info" section is says 600 × 402, yet other photos say 6000 X 4000. I've attached the
600 X 402 (the lake photo and a 6000 X 4000, the flower.

What an idiot, I had reduced the photo to post on another forum (Ugly Hedge Hog), they only allow the 400 X 600. Whereas Nikonites allow the larger files. Geez, I need to slow down a pay attention.

I think I solved the "quality" issue, see my post. The Role Played by card..." is the issue no, I'm looking at the menu now it says "Raw Slot 1 - JPEG Slot 2". When I click on Get info both cards say JPEG. Any other ideas?

This issue is solved as well. I had the Image Quality set wrong, you were right. It was JPEG Fine and I changed it to NEF (RAW) + JPEG fine. Tried it and it worked. Sounds like I need to take a class, uh? I read through the menus and am reading two books on the Nikon D7100; I just need to keep reading and experimenting. Thanks for your help!

glad you have it sorted out. With all those buttons and menu settings,things can get confusing sometimes.
You'll see that if you keep using your camera every day, within a month it will be second nature.

Watch out when you do reset, the default quality will be JPEG ..
