7 more of the best Nikon tricks ever!

By [NR] admin | Published: March 3, 2018

7 More Of The Best Nikon Tricks Ever!

Back in April 2017, I created a video entitled, “The 7 Best Nikon Tricks Ever” and it quickly became the most popular video I’ve ever uploaded. In fact, as of this writing, it’s closing in on the one million views mark. You can see that video here on NikonRumors.

The thing is, when I started thinking about tips and tricks for the first video, I ended up with far more than I could use. I was concerned that if I stuffed everything into a single video, watching it would become tedious. So, I decided to limit it to just seven tricks – but what remained were some pretty tempting leftovers.

Well, those extra tricks and tips have been patiently waiting to see the light of day, and with the popularity of the first video, I figured it was high time to set them loose.

So, in this new video, I demonstrate the next set of my “must know” tricks and tips for Nikon users. These are techniques and settings I use all the time, so I absolutely recommend that you give them a try and see if they make your photography more enjoyable.

As before, not every tip will apply to every Nikon camera – and none of these apply to the D3000 series (sorry, I wish they did, but those cameras simply don’t have a lot of customizations).
