3 BEST NIKON TRICKS IN 3 MINUTES | best custom settings for wildlife photography [photo friday]

i use a nikon d750. i’ve assigned the movie record button to iso, the preview button to spot metering and the function button to the grid. 😊

Im using 2 and 3 plus first now yours with my d810.. keep up

Wow these are great tips, even for sports, I have a d5 and autofocus misses but sometimes you can’t tell until you get home on a pc. But no 100% zoom is super helpful

very good tip thanks!

Just something I find useful for handling the camera ( makes no difference to pics etc ) is to set the Custom Menu f6 to Yes. This means when you press a button, mode for example, you do not need to keep the button held down. Just push it once and its on then once again to turn it off, very helpful when turning command dials in tandem with selection buttons, and compensation buttons / dials.

Absolutely brilliant!

Very good tips!!!

Thank you Morten!

good job

This video is awesome. Just picked up a lightly used Nikon D3 and this is great to know for that DSLR.

You have a new Subscriber, thank you!!!

Many thousand thanks for your usable tips and always very nice videos !😀

Thanks a lot Morten for the tips. This third one with quick ISO change - auto ISO, delighted me. I really needed that, but I didn't know how to set it up. I got a Nikon D500 and a Nikon 200-500mm lens, and I use it for bird watching. I shoot practically everything handheld in all conditions, so I need a quick setup. Thanks again .

Thank you for these tips which will certainly improve my shooting. Luckily I also have a D5 which I have used with great pleasure since it came out 6 years ago.

Lot of thanks for your practical tips share.

I like your tips I use auto-iso quite a bit too, especially in manual mode. I will try that playback reassignment that looks like a good tip. I usually set my two buttons up there to BKT and DX crop. My D700 doesn't have a dedicated bracketing button like your D5 does. I think I could reassign the DX crop button though, I really don't use it much. I would shoot my D7100 for crop images.

thank you

I definitively agree with your philosophy that is to keep the left hand on the lens.
I wish my Nikon D3S and D3X had a third button at the front and also the ISO button on the top.
But I find some tricks to manage it all the away around with keeping my hand on the lens.
Great video, thanks

Really !Great tips ! Lovely vidéo !

Thank you Morton. All great suggestions!

Thank you the auto ISO solves a lot of problems I was having

Your all activities regarding photography and taking coffee is very favourite to me.

This is all way beyond my level of investment, commitment and competence, but the thing I LOVE is the comment that he doesn't care about occasionally using presets or auto-features (which snobby 'pro' photographers sneer at) because his sole focus (pun intended) is on not missing the shot. Bravo!

Never mind going fully manual and suffering for your art and grinding your own lenses and spending more than the guy next to you on looking cool and independent because only entry-level amateurs use presets and auto-functions: that's rubbish.

What REALLY matters is getting the shot. 🙂

Im using this for my d4! Tomorrow will be a first outing with a 150-600 g2 on the d4 in proper conditions

Morten, do you use auto iso + M
mode?

Tip # 2 was great! I always need to check my sharpness during a shot and this is a great way to do it.

Why are you hand holding that beast?

good tips

How can I change auto focus mode button to fn button

Thank you Morten.

I dread to think how much that glass cost... 😂

great info, thanks/mvh/trhomas H.

wow I have always had my doubts of using the Peak Design attachments on my bigger gear.. but seeing it on that lens! wow! puts my mind at ease

"It's about the picture I get." Truth. It's the reason we do what we do.

Morten - The Auto-ISO Tip .... Pure GOLD ! Many thanks for sharing your learning.

Please send nikon d500 setting for bird photography

Very good tips...other tips for other functions buttons ? Thanks Morten...waiting for other nice videos..

I also started to use Auto-ISO but I had the same problem with it - professional photographers do not use it, so, I also should not. It is so funny how we trying to be "so professional" instead of taking good photos. I observe that Auto-ISO helps a lot - especially when I shooting in the forest and the light conditions changing frequently. It is very good option to use. In landscapes I turn Auto-ISO off due to constant light and I want to have ISO as low as possible. Regards

Just come across this Brilliant Morten!! thank you

HELP!!! I have a Nikon D3 and I can t find a way to switch from ISO to AUTO - ISO without going through MyMenu... Can someone help me?

Hello sir
I m from japan

Just started going through your Channel.. love the 100% zoom tip.. have it on the record button now super helpful.. Have to check out the auto-iso change anyway just wanted to say thank you for the content.. :-)

I love the d3

using fn2 for playback is brilliant! I'm using a Nikon Z6 so I see the image in the viewfinder ... so I don't even have to move my eye! many thanks for this tip Morten. I used to have is as AE-L but realised that I almost never used it. Now I use it a lot.
FYI for Fn1 I set it to Spot Metering. Normally I'll use matrix, but for a quick check, this is a great way to switch quickly. While I'm pressing fn1 there camera is in spot meter mode - you can see it in the display, and when I let go, the camera is back to matrix metering. very useful for me.

Best 3 nikon custom settings of all time. Shooting, fashion, weddings, I use these setting too. Thanks!

My comment is on the back button focus trend that is practically forced upon everybody nowadays. I just didn't get on with it, too many years muscle memory I don't know but it made my thumb cramp up and so often I'd take a series of images and find AF had stopped because I wasn't pressing with my thumb hard enough.. What I did find I liked was back button AF off, that means I can still control when tracking works and if there is a need to override it I can, but the majority of the time I want it working so it made sense to me to need a second digit less of the time. If you don't get on with back button focus give back button focus off a try, it works well for me.

Love it

Great tipps! I love your channel!

Big lens...tiny toger....

Great advice as always! The preview you will really save a lot of time help keep our eyes on the viewfinder. Best of luck to you in 2020!
