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

My 3 best Nikon tricks starts at 1:30 👍😀
In this episode of Photographer's Friday I am sharing my 3 favorite camera settings on my Nikon dslr to help you to step up your wildlife photography.

I am using the Nikon D5, but these camera settings or at least most of them can also be used on the Nikon D850 - D810 - D750 - D500 and more models. I have been shooting with the Canon EOS 1DX mark II and except from the auto iso switch I managed set that one up too:)

As a wildlife photographer it is very important to me, to keep focused on the animal I am photographing, and that means I have to keep my eye on the viewfinder and my finger on the release button. All the camera settings need to be done without looking.

By changing some of the Nikon custom settings I am able to work much faster and more efficient with my Nikon D5.

In this video I'm explaining why these custom settings are so important to me, and how-to setup your own Nikon camera to benefits from these 3 tips:)

Great tips. I am a sports photographer and find exactly the same custom settings and Auto ISO very useful. One extra custom setting that has worked very well for me is a Virtual Horizon. I assign it to one of the Fn buttons the same way you did here for Preview button. Virtual horizon helps me to correctly level my camera when I am using a monopod and therefore I do not have to crop image later to correct the tilts = saves resolution too.

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

Excellent pointers! So glad this showed up in my recommended video list. Thumbs UP and I look forward to watching more of your presentations! Subbed!

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

[Cantinatollo]

Never heard of you before, but I'm glad I found you. I learned sooo much from this tutorial about my Nikon D7100. I hit like. I subscribed and I'm now learning from your other videos. Thank you!!

I already use the 100% magnification trick. The others hadn’t occurred to me. Thank you.
Also, back button focus is fantastic. I use it permanently on my DSLR and even on my Fuji X100s. It works for all scenarios and only takes a few hours to get completely used to it.

LOL. In my experience, most wildlife photographers I know, pro or enthusiast, use auto ISO. Good tips.

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!!!

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

[DaveCowellPhotoVideo]

The third trick was great! I had no idea that switching to auto ISO was that easy. Feel silly now! Need to incorporate that into my workflow.

[ranjandas]

I am also a Nikon user and I do wildlife photography. Your tips are really great. I am regular visitor to your valuable posts. Thank you so much.

[digbydt]

Great tips, I'll set up like that myself, very handy indeed, I use auto iso most of the time with Nikon and Pentax already, it makes things so much faster and gets that pic you would otherwise have missed

[PartizanBel]

Auto ISO on/off quick switch tip was very cool!!! Was struggling with this for a long time. Thanks a bunch!!!

[rondeldebbio]

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

[janeklof]

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

[albertovasconcellos]

Thanks Morten. Your tips are very helpful to me.

[dcboy]

Great production value on this one, good job!

[maroofrana]

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

[StevenTorrey]

When in the woods (as on a hike) the subject moves from sun to shade, auto ISO could make a big difference in the completed photo.

Fantastic video Morten! Can't wait til next Friday already
