My name is Richard Peters and I have owned and shot with almost every major Nikon model from the D100 up. Whilst working with Nikon, I field tested several pre-release lenses and bodies, and I also work closely with Swarovski Optik and Datacolor. My knowledge and expertise in the Nikon system has been poured into this wildlife setup guide. My style is well known for capturing dramatic light and has been awarded internationally in many competitions. This includes twice in Wildlife Photographer of the Year, plus being one of the only British photographers to be named European Wildlife Photographer of the Year. This expertise has leant itself to becoming experienced judge, having been on the jury for European Wildlife Photographer of the Year, the British Wildlife Photography Awards, Bird Photographer of the Year and many more.
Manual, Aperture or Shutter Priority? I explain my favourite way to shoot, plus help you learn the pros and cons of that and all the other modes. There really is no one-mode-suits-all. So this will help you understand which is best for you.
Dive into the Photo Shooting Menu and find out which settings are crucial, which ones are set-and-forget, and which can be changed in far quicker and more effective ways.
The guide will help you better understand which of the Z8 and Z9's 11+ focus modes to use and when. This includes breaking down the importance of the anchored vs floating effect.
Mirrorless cameras have an array of information visible in their EVF's. The Nikon Z system is no different. Find out what the most helpful information is and how to remove the clutter, for a streamlined and clean interface.
This will help you navigate both Custom Function buttons and Menu customisations. One of the key elements to using these cameras efficiently, lay within this subset of the menus.
There are some powerful, and hidden, gems tucked away in the Z system. Find out what they are and how to make best use of them.
