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:)

    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.

    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.

    Thanks Morten!! I shoot the Pentax K-3 and auto ISO as well because of the quick changing light from cloud shadows, etc. Particularly with birds in flight. Quick adjustment settings in addition to auto ISO really does help you focus more of your time on the animals behavior and the shot. As always, thanks for the great video Morten and I really look forward to you next one!

    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 .

    I only watched this out of curiosity as I already have my camera setup as I like it, and have had it like it for a few years. Turns out we have the same setup, at least for these 3. Image playback without having to take a hand off the camera is a genius idea and should be set as standard, although it does make it easier to chimp. Also, Auto ISO is a huge picture saver when, like you say, the light changes faster than you can. I first set it up when I did a wedding and wanted it for that time when moving between lighting situations. Great video. Cheers.

    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

    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.
