Setup your Nikon Z8 and Z9 for wildlife photography | Customise your camera like a pro!

So today we are talking custom settings for the Z8 and Z9 for wildlife photography!

I thought I would share some tips and insights from using these cameras on the daily as a professional wildlife photographer, looking at how I have them set up and some of the key features I have programmed to my custom FN buttons.

Setting up your camera is so important when it comes to wildlife photography, giving you the best chance to work quickly and effectively to grab focus and make those special frames, all whilst keeping the camera to your eye. These settings will work on both the Z9 and Z8 cameras with the latest firmwares and should give you a great stating point to get your camera dialled in for working in the field!

If you have any questions about the settings of course I'm here to help, so drop them in the comments. If you founds this helpful and want to see more wildlife photography content be sure to subscribe and drop this video a like!

If you are thinking about picking up a Z9 or Z8 and want to give the channel a helping hand, grabbing one through my links helps a great deal and costs you nothing!
