Best Camera Settings for Birds in Flight.

In this video, I advise on the best settings for capturing birds in flight. I’m using the new “bird-eye detect“ feature recently introduced to the Nikon Z8. WOW!

I combine Nikon’s incredible 3D mode and aircraft detect mode. Shooting birds, on the other hand, seems to be much easier. I was expecting to be dithering around trying to find the best combination of focus modes when, in fact, the best mode was precisely what it said on the tin! Camera to AFC (Constant focusing) and then selecting the “bird-eye-detect“. Disclaimer: My channel is sponsored by Nikon, so I can understand why you would think this is nothing bu
