This was exactly what I was looking for. Step by step. I don’t know why you don’t have more views. This was excellent.

This was the best ever tutorial for the p900 I have ever seen please continue to post more about this camera, thank you very much

The P900/950 are great cameras, but they are among the last of their kind. The superzoom point and shoot seems to have been driven off the market by the phone at one end and mirrorless at the other…and I don’t expect an upgrade to the P950 to ever come…so…it is unlikely that I will have more to say about Nikon Point and Shoots. :(

Thanks for this video. I just purchased a P950 for an upcoming safari trip and have been looking at a bunch of videos to try and get a grasp of how to set up this camera for wildlife photography. Yours seems to make the most sense. Much appreciated!

Great video. That was very helpful for me. I just ordered the p900 and when it arrived I’ll use that settings. ❤❤❤ Thanks

Great video for beginners. I started just over a year ago with wildlife photography. I use a Lumix FZ80 and really enjoy it. I also use P for stationary subjects and S mode where I choose the shutter speed appropriate for the lighting and the speed of the bird in flight. Usually use 1/1000th of a second if the lighting is good and get good results.

Thank you. Very helpful video to get me started with the P1000. I'll try to learn more from the manual as time goes on, but you saved me a lot of time with these settings.

Have you done a video on how to see both shutter speed and f-stop. For some reason, I just cannot figure out how to do this. Thank you.

This is a great video and I have watched several that left me overwhelmed and confused. Thank you for the visual directions and clarity. I have a question...I am using a new P950 and under the ISO setting in P mode, I do not see Auto as a choice. Which setting should I use? Thank you

@StephenIngraham 21 күн бұрын

100-1600 is the safe one…100-3200 if the situation is really dim. :) Thanks for positive comments.

I used this last weekend. Thank you so much. Do have a question. How do I save the setting for future birding. Do you have any other camera settings. Thank you again.

@StephenIngraham 3 ай бұрын

These are my only settings for the Nikon but I do have other similar settings for other cameras. To save settings, set the camera up as you want it, then open the menu and go to Save User Settings. Follow the dialogs. To retrieve those settings, just put the main dial in the U position. :)

Thanks for this great video, I just have one question. My P950 doesn't have an AUTO option for the ISO. It only has A400 100-400, A800 100-800, A1600 100-1600, A3200 100-3200 and A6400 100-6400. Which one would you recommend?

@StephenIngraham Ай бұрын

A1600 to be safe in most light. A3200 if you are shooting in very dark conditions. :)

Can you show how to set or use continuous shooting on Nikon P900? I cannot get mine to work by just holding down the shutter button halfway. I love this camera, but I cannot figure this particular thing out with it. Thank you!!

@StephenIngraham 11 ай бұрын

It does not work with the shutter button held half way…it works with the shutter button all the way down. ???

Can you please do one for planes.. they are soo high and hard to focus on them. Please please please.

@StephenIngraham 3 күн бұрын

I don’t photograph planes, but my recommendation would be to use my birds-in-flight settings but with the small focus area. Or turn off auto focus altogether as the planes are going to be at infinity focus most of the time. (Use the mountain focus setting).

How can set my p900 for night wildlife photography? Please help.

@StephenIngraham 15 күн бұрын

What kind of night wildlife photography do you hope to do? With flash? With video lights? With conventional flashlights? You will need some supplemental light for any night photography…and for wildlife that is moving you will need a LOT of light. Other than that the setting would be the same as for daylight photography. ??? Tell me more.
