God, you give more info than Nikon itself, bless you!

I just found your channel and it’s wonderful. No explosions. No funny hair. Just straight information. Subscribed to all!!!

This man is better than all of the instruction manuals put together. Easy to follow instructions, tips and settings you would never think of looking for. Improved my photography no end. Thanks Steve.

Thank you so much Steve. I just upgraded from my D7200 to a D500, and I have learned so much from your videos and e-books. You need to be on the Nikon payroll!

You have an amazing amount of knowledge to share. I really appreciate you posting the videos and helping so many learn. I have changed to back button focus, auto iso, and auto fine tuned lenses after watching you videos.

Love and appreciate your videos, I learn something new each time I watch them.

I just got my new D850 a couple days ago. Your videos and AF Secrets book have been EXTREMELY helpful in learning how to get the most out of my new kit. Keep up the great work!!!

Easily one of the best photo channels and always with great tips and information. Thanks Steve for all your hard work!

Great video Steve; I regularly recommend your videos to people who shoot wildlife with Nikon, and this latest one didn't disappoint!

Thanks Steve great tips as always, I just have to coming back to refresh and eventually the knowledge sticks.

Yes!!! New Steve Perry video, thanks for the awesome tips, always learn something new when I watch one of your videos, keep up the great work...

I love all your videos! Every time that i have problem you are the 1st on the list for me to review what i did wrong. Yes, I am Nikon shooter too. Thank you for sharing your knowledge !

Yet another great vlog on customising my Nikon.

Yet another informative video. I put some of the tips into action immediately.

Wow, just wow, I will do most of these tips. They are very handy. Thank you

Thank you! I’m in Canon land and you are my newest Nikon hero.

Great Video Steve! Thank you for posting!

Thank you Steve, another winning video.....Great tips.....Cheers!

What a fantastic, informative video. Thanks Steve!!

Great vid Steve, will be using the save settings tip between my pair of D500's now!

Love this dude, good advices, well presented, beautiful spoken (even ppl dumb in english like myself can understand). Bought his af related book, and the one about for wildlife photography. Well worth every penny

Thanks Steve, I only recently came across your site. What great tips, I'd never heard of to enhance the use of my trusty D700.

Thanks again Steve always learn so much from your videos

Another great video Steve. I'm in the process of working my way through the book right now, tons of info in there, essential for any Nikon User

Awesome..no-nonsense..focused and really helpful

Enjoyed both of your 7 tips vids. Great job.

Hi Steve. Hope you’re feeling better. I bought all the materials you gave available for sale and I enjoy all the ones I’ve had the time to read. Thanks for the free KZread videos and keep up the great work.

Great job and techniques especially the reminder to Save Settings!

So cool. Thanks so much for sharing. I am going to do some today.

Hi Steve, I just discovered your channel from that Nikon Rumors post, and I have now been binge watching all your videos for hours. They are really fantastic and I am loving all of them: post processing tips, shooting tips, reviews. This could quickly become my favourite photography channel! I hope you keep up the great work, and create a lot more of these videos.

Thank a lot Steve; very helpful indeed! 👍👍

Great lesson Steve. Your a rock star...

Great stuff. Thank You Jim

Cheers steve your videos put across so much good info back button i find great i use nikon and you have improved my photography skills,

I actually had Easy Exposure Compensation on for a try recently, but switched it back off because the camera readings confused me and didn't seem accurate. Watching your Video made me take another try, prooving to myself why it was a bad idea - but then I noticed that it wasn't the case at all. It was just me getting confused by the camera readings. The thing was, when the camera is unable to set my desired exposure, the reading wouldn't show me the set EC anymore, but the current exposure offset from what I want (usually "too dark"). So while I thought my EC was accidently set to -2, I bumped it up even further, saw no change (because it was still too dark) and finaly missed the shot. -- Now I know that when my camera is unable to set my desired exposure, the icon starts flashing to warn me. Yes, I didn't notice that before, so two things learned with one lesson. I think I can call that a win!

as always, quality tips

Steve, thanks for the informative video. Getting ready to go out to the Washington coast after several weeks without camera in hand. Needed small reminders to shake the cobwebs off. Just purchased a D850 and am planning on putting it through its paces with multiple settings paired with a number of different lenses. Still working on my ideal custom buttons and dial settings. Your videos really help out in that category.

Awesome tips. Realized I didn't really understand AF capabilities of my D7100. This video helped a lot, but decided to order the book so that I have something in hardcopy for reference and deeper understanding

Great tips!

Amazing tips. Thank you!!!

Awesome tips! Thank you so much!

Thank you! Another great video!

Thanks guys, great ideas.

It is very very important to me. This is what I wanted for the last few months. I did not know how to question this particular. Luckily I got the answer. I got the right thing for me. Thank you.

Awesome Thank you. Have missed your informative content.

Yeah, I'm a little slower getting stuff out than I'd like. Things should be back to normal once my current book project is done.

Excellent tips again ... thank you Steve :-)

The autofocus autoswitch is epic.Thank you

Love your information!

Awesome per usual Steve!

Awesome video and information 👌 Amazing tips!

The easy exposure comp setting is an hidden gem! Not only does it make it fast to adjust the compensation, but it also automatically resets itself to 0 when the camera goes in standby mode. I don’t know you but I often forget to reset that kind of setting! The auto reset makes it way more efficient than any dedicated dial...

Great Video. Appreciate the tips.

You are amazing! thank you for sharing :)

love your vids and bought your guides! keep it up!!

Good video. I know pretty much all the features of my camera but struggle to remember them at shooting time!!!

More and better infos than Nikon. Thanks!

Excellent vid

So helpful!

awesome videos, learn a lot

I’m new to this , you’re awesome .

I set fn1 (that is the function button bottom right below the lens on the front on a D500) to toggle between grid view and level view. It allows me to use my little finger to switch function while still keeping index finger in the shutter button and maintaining a decent grip

Very Informative TY!

Great tips, Steve! Thank you. Looking forward to the publication of your next e-book! Any chance you would write a book on the secrets of the Nikon D850?????

Just bought your wildlife book, learned a lot from the autofocus book 👍🏻 You better hurry up with your new book, I am a fast reader 🤣😁 I am Dutch but your books are easy to read for everybody that doesn’t have English as the native language. Thanks for all the tips and sorry for my spelling 🤭

Excellent video

Awesome Video once again, crisp and clear to the point. I bought both of your previous books and looking forward to the book on Exposure.. I am glad to see my FM Forum (clickmepp) request getting into reality.. I had been expecting the announcement after you launched Histogram Video. Looking forward to see your Videos and Books... Below was my request and your reply :) I would love him to write a book on "SECRETS TO NIKON EXPOSURE SYSTEM" Thanks so much And I'd be lying if I said that idea hadn't crossed my mind Thankfully, I don't think there's nearly as much to it as the AF system, so that one would be a shorter book.

Unfortunately not for my D610, unless I am mistaken, but thanks Steve I always appreciate your Nikon DSLR INFO.

Have a great day too Steve.

I use exposure delay in combination with timer and mirror-up mode when photographing events like lunar or solar eclipses. Pressing the shutter release will initiate a 3-second pause, followed by mirror-up, a timed-delay and then the exposure. Though, perhaps a bit AR, it's a great way to allow vibration from pushing the shutter release or mirror slap to dissipate, before the exposure is made.

Hi Bill - On all my Nikons, the camera automatically locks up the mirror in exposure delay mode, even if you're in something like CH (I honestly jus noticed this when putting this video together - I always switched to M UP mode too). However, I also noticed that on cameras with electronic front curtain enabled, when you switch to M UP mode, the camera will lock up the mirror and the first curtain of the mechanical shutter - avoiding mirror slap and shutter shock.

I first LIKE your Video Content and then I watch it..

Thanks mate.

Thank you very much

There is an even nicer way for ISO settigns IMO. You can use the movie record button (the red one) and assign it to be the ISO button. It is very close to where the ISO button used to be and works with the dials without turning on the screen! You find it under the f9 settings.

Thanks - But I doubt that will happen. Not enough big glass, and mirrorless cameras aren't my first choice for wildlife (imagine the horrible balance with a 600mm on a gimbal with a tiny little mirrorless lol). The truth is, I believe Nikon has the best gear for wildlife shooters.

When I renamed my files, years ago, I used my initials. That way each photo already was associated with my name.

Good Stuff.
