Coolpix P610 Tutorial

At the request of a viewer, I prepared this tutorial on the Nikon Coolpix P610. The camera has enough features to make a thorough tutorial a very long process, so this tutorial is relatively brief. "Brief" doesn't mean short. I cover most of the controls and provide an overview of their function and do similarly with the menus. Neither is a complete immersion in the details. With the menus, I start from full reset and set menu selections as I would normally use them. I don't spend time on photographic technique with the camera but try to provide a sampling of the power of the camera for the amateur user. Maybe a later tutorial focusing on more detailed technique to produce photos under more difficult conditions will be in order. The camera has amazing capability and hopefully this will cause you to study further and experiment with more features than I can cover here.

After having my camera for four years and being too scared to use it, I finally found your videos. Thank you for a clear, concise yet thorough tutorial, it was easy to follow and I will be watching all the others for my camera model too, much appreciated.

This is so calmly taught. Guru. My photos have improved with such a gentle teacher. Thank you, so much.

Excellent job explaining (and showing) all the settings. Easy to follow and very clear.

Thanks.

wow I have had my camera for ages and finally decided to actually look up how to set up and use and this lesson is amazingly useful. So calm, ordered and clear. Thank you so much

I see someone else made a similar comment but I thought I'd jump in as well. I've been using my P610 for a few years now and really like it. I recently decided to upgrade (I hope) to a Coolpix P900. I had originally planned to go with a P1000, but after my evaluation, that camera seems to be a bit much for what I do. My point though is that this P610 tutorial could be just as helpful for the P900 since both cameras have very similar controls and features. In fact, while waiting for my P900 to arrive I've been going back and reviewing your P610 material and managed to rediscover some tricks and features I had forgotten over the years. Thanks for creating this excellent material!

Thank you soooo much for your tutorials on the P610. I've had mine for about 2 years and was totally ignorant of its capabilities. Thanks again. A BIG thumbs up !!!

I am AMAZED at how good the quality is on this small compact camera

I got a P610 for Christmas and I only really knew about auto mode but thanks to this tutorial I knew a lot more!

[laurieparent]

Thanks for your tutorials. After agonizing over the purchase of a new camera (for a newbie) I had more or less settled on the P610, and watching your videos helped me decide! Waiting for the camera to arrive, and I'm very excited!

I have recently purchased this camera. Your tutorial is very informative. Thank you for taking the time to produce it. I found it much easier than wading through the manual.

[anandnair]

Well Exlpained Sir, I have a p900 and i was trying to figure out the settings, your video was very informative as the settings in the P900 are exactly the same . Thanks a lot for your good work .

This video works great for nearly all settings for the Coolpix P600. Some of the menu options vary or are found un slightly differnt places, but otherwise...excellent tutorial that surpasses the manufacturer's manual.

[OutandAboutwithTrev]

Very nice - I purchased one of these cameras to be used a "Behind the scenes" photos / videos for my next Film. I really wanted to make sure all the settings where correct before handing to my crew member. This was just what I needed...well done!

[satyap]

Thank you so much MontanaMonk for the detailed video. Really appreciate the way you have given the details about the camera. Thanks once again.

Hey! I bought Nikon Coolpix P610 a couple of months ago. I was not sure about some features, but your tutorial helped me out. Thank you so much. Your videos are really good, easy to understand. So, now I can click some good pictures. Thanks, once again. Good luck! :)
