I though great, he is going to be thorough. I wanted to make sure I bought the correct external 5 volt charger to keep it plugged in and while I was here double check that I am buying the correct is it mini or micro HDMI cord. But you went right over that info like it was not important. I am sure after I turn it on I will have questions on the settings which were also not covered but you did say go to your written page, I have not read my manual because I have eye disease.
I have seen this video about 10 times in the last 7 or 8 years and there is always something new to learn, I am still using my 520 and your videos are a good reminder of how much fun it is. THANK YOU.
Well that's the best 43 minutes I've spent since buying my Coolpix530 some years back! I wish I had come across it earlier, thanks Tony for taking the time.
This was so great!!! I have the N L340... I started watching raw... then decided to actually get my camera and follow along.. best decision ever... Thank you so much!!!
I’ve had this Nikon L830 and only used it once 6 years ago. I watched your tutorial and snapped a few shots what a difference. I also shut off the beep 😊 much better for candid shots . Great tutorial and I’m to take some winter shots Thanks again
I enjoyed this tutorial. I really appreciate your list in the table of contents where you break down each topic by the minute marker! I will definitely be re-watching specific areas you spoke about as I learn to use my new Nikon camera. Thank you.
Three years ago I switched from Nikon Coolpix P900 to Olympus Micro 4/3ds. Recently I was looking way back at some old photos that where taken by the P900 and they looked really good so I wanted to give this camera a second chance but kinda forgot how to use it. This was a good refresher for using the Nikon. Thanks tony!
I’ve had my coolpix b500 for over a year now and i have learned SO MUCH from this video! I even found out my laptop has a sd card slot (i kinda lost the cable)!!
You explain so well and more informative than others. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I love photography and taking videos. All my friends and family gave me so much compliments for all photos I took, and they all said I could make money as a photographer. However, I Never pay attention what’s in the cameras. Now, as I understand more from your tutorials, I am going to take it more seriously. Since iPhone have great camera, I stop using all my Nikons. But, since I’m planning to make my RUclips channels, I need many cameras for different angles. I found that you are the only one who explains details and generously. Thank you 🙏
I have had my camera for quite some time now, this has really helped me understand it better. and helping me improve my pictures. thank you for this tutorial.
Thanks! The only piece of advice I will disregard is about the lens cap. Mine came with a strap. I attached it to the camera stap. POP! In a split second it is off, but never lost. And in the conditions I am often in, wind and thus probable grit, on mule rides, that extra protection is a good idea.
I've used one of these cameras to take videos of myself out in my shop building jewelry cases for years and never knew it had so many features. Thank you for this video. I learned a bunch from it and you made it easy to understand.
My favorite digital camera of all time was the Nikon Coolpix 5700. I replaced it with a DSLR (D40, still in use) because the 5700 did not deliver the auto-focus and inter-shot time I needed. I haven't been convinced that any Coolpix since will deliver DSLR-like performance. My photographic needs are not complex or demanding. But I have hundreds of 5700 shots where the exposure lags what I thought I was shooting by a second or more. I still crave the simplicity, compactness, and economy of the 5700. I hope you'll examine Coolpix shooting performance in a future video.
I love my Nikon Coolpix L830 your tutorial was very well done it helped me on many of my questions on the features of my camera you are easy to follow and a good speaker. Thank you for making me enjoy my camera even more
Thanks for a good tutorial. Bought this camera a year ago but haven't used it much as I was not familiar with its capabilities. Watching your video has given me a much better understanding than trying to read the manual. A great camera for those who don't need a full SLR.
I love my Nikon Coolpix and your tutorial answered alot of my questions on the features I was not sure of so thank you and you were easy to follow your a good speaker.
I have been watching your RUclips videos and came across this Coolpix tutorial. Just what I needed!!. I purchased a used P-900 a couple years ago, and this video is just what I needed. So much that I didn't have a clue about, now after watching, I feel more confident that I will be able to be more successful using this camera. I will be rewatching this video again and try to learn as much as possible. You really explained a lot to me.
Great video and tutorial, thanks! I was very interested in buying the L840, watching you using it for this video gave me even more confidence in the model (I watched another reviews as well). I bought it a couple of days ago.
I did not know Mr Rodgers had a son. I learn hella new dew every single blessed day here. Thank you youtube you'll never be socially distant from meeeeeeeeeeeee
Thank you for this video. I love your videos, very informative.I just purchased a L840 for my RUclips channel, it replaced my canon ELPH 100 HS, although I don't see much difference in the videos, I assume it's because I don't know how to set it.So thanks again for the detailed settings instruction.
I'm finding your videos really useful, not least of all because (a I'm a complete novice photographer, and b) because I'm very soon going to buy the Nikon Coolpix B500. I'll be able to operate the camera really well before I even have it at this rate!😁
thank you so much for making all this information available. When i was a kid, You would have to take a course at a community college to operate a quality camera. So we all used instant cameras with a big chemical flash brick. What a time it is to take up photography, everyone is wearing masks and ya cant go anywhere
I just got a p950, which has a few features that these cameras don't. It can take an external mic, and it shoots in RAW. Thanks for explaining many of the controls and how they will influence the photo outcome. You were very understandable, and didn't go overboard as some videos do, which cam be overwhelming to an inexperienced photographer. I did have a difficult time seeing what you were doing some of the time because your hand was in the way, or your filming camera wasn't actually pointing at the screen you wanted us to see. Also, I wish you were focusing on something other than your computer screen so that we could see the effects of what you were doing. Thanks for the tips about accessories we might find handy, and Google Picaso, which I will absolutely check out.
This was such a great video. I learned so much about my camera. I will be getting it back tomorrow. And I will be trying so much stuff I learned. Plus I will have a safe place to put my collection of photos and videos. Thanks.
Thanks for the tutorial. One request (from a rookie), please can you zoom in or focus in when you are showing which buttons to press (e.g. for sport setting). Thanks.
I have a Coolprix L120 and regretted buying it only 4 hours later :( The image quality has a lot to be desired, but it was my fault, not enough research back in the day.
Love your video. But so confusing when on portrait episode. Following closely, but my camera didn't have the icon portrait. Finally found it by clicking on the moon that came up under Scenes, then the panorama icon, finally it added that 2nd row of selections. Whew! Finally understand that whatever (scenes) was selected last appeared under Scenes the scenes icon. After hours of researching your video over and over and reading the manual over and over. I get it!
Thank you for this video. its very helpful i think the Coolpix has must be a very early model because it does not seem to have all the possible setting,in fact, even the camera icon in the menu does not seem to be,it could be me,I watched your video hoping for some very simple set up features and found it quite difficult to follow but i am learning slowly for a 72-year-old beginner thanks again. Yes its my first proper camera.
Hi Tony - Great video!! At least I learned how to shut that annoying beep off-THANKS!! The only other feature I would like to see is to be able to disable the auto shut off mode. I have a Nikon Coolpix B500.. I do many hours of wildlife pictures and it becomes a continuing nightmare of having to turn the camera back on after it goes into battery saver mode or shuts down completely. Invariably; it will shut down just when things get interesting. I have missed more once in a lifetime shots because of this very aggravating feature that, as far as I know cannot be controlled by the user. Is there a shut off that I'm not aware of? I have not downloaded the newer firmware or software for this camera. I'm kind of apprehensive to do so in fear that something may happen and I'll loose the camera completely. Thanks... I'll be watching for more of your videos.
Hey guys I happen to have a Nikon Coolpix P500 and I always struggle with the manual focus because it doesn't focus the model correct. Even on live view it is hard to tell, if the model is sharp where it is supposed to be...not to mention the electronic view finder... Any tipps? Great tutorials by the way. I always watch your live shows *thumbs up*
how do I get videos to stay brighter? when I have the camera on the object in front of me looks bright on the camera LCD but once I start recording the video becomes dark. thanks for your help

Would Sports Mode be the best mode to record trains

You're welcome!
this has really helped me. I have been using the camera for about 4 months and knew nothing about it, thank you
how about it? I'm not sure will buy or not
Great tip: set the timer at 2 second. This will definitely eliminate that annoying blur images and distorted auto-focus.
I just bought a P900 the zoom is amazing! I just need to learn all the features to capture some amazing stuff. Thanks for this video
This was so great!!! I have the N L340... I started watching raw... then decided to actually get my camera and follow along.. best decision ever... Thank you so much!!!

Great video. Thanks for the helpful tips. Regarding external flashes, my Nikon Coolpix 8400 will accept an external flash!
Thanks for the tutorial. One request (from a rookie), please can you zoom in or focus in when you are showing which buttons to press (e.g. for sport setting). Thanks.
Thank you for creating and posting this,it was very useful for me.
Every time I take a pic zoomed in, it's sooooo blurry!! Why?!? Plz help!

Such a Helpful Video thank you So Much learned So much.
Great vid! I turned the beep off on my coolpix p900 for your personal mission haha

Thank you for this video. its very helpful i think the Coolpix has must be a very early model because it does not seem to have all the possible setting,in fact, even the camera icon in the menu does not seem to be,it could be me,I watched your video hoping for some very simple set up features and found it quite difficult to follow but i am learning slowly for a 72-year-old beginner thanks again.

Such a good video and clear, easy to follow style, really enjoyed it, good work.
This video was really helpful. Thanks so much. I ordered your book as well. Definitely a must have.

Great Video, enjoyed it, all of the scenarios you described, is true, (self timer jumping over couch, losing lens caps,) Enjoyed this!!! thank you!!!
I've watched a couple of your videos and really liked them. Just bought your book.
Great voice for documentaries slash tutorials!

Great camera, will be upgrading to nikon d5600
Tony, I have watched your video twice and little by little I am managing to figure out by NIdon CoolPix S9500.... Thank you
The little bit more expensive cards, are better for traveling though. The cheap ones seems to be unstable in weather/temperature changes.
I have the same USB reader but it doesnt read my SD card once its formatted with the camera
Great video. The sweater is sick too!
For video, what file type does Nikon Coolpix convert to when putting it on a computer? (avi, mov, mp4?)
i need to pause my youtube vids and this helped so much
Thank you, very helpful! I just bought a used Coolpix L330 and many features showed up here :-)
Hi Tony - Great video!! At least I learned how to shut that annoying beep off-THANKS!! The only other feature I would like to see is to be able to disable the auto shut off mode.
I have a Nikon Coolpix B500.. I do many hours of wildlife pictures and it becomes a continuing nightmare of having to turn the camera back on after it goes into battery saver mode or shuts down completely. Invariably; it will shut down just when things get interesting. I have missed more once in a lifetime shots because of this very aggravating feature that, as far as I know cannot be controlled by the user. Is there a shut off that I'm not aware of? I have not downloaded the newer firmware or software for this camera. I'm kind of apprehensive to do so in fear that something may happen and I'll loose the camera completely.
Thanks... I'll be watching for more of your videos.
with the cool pix b 500 what is best setting for shooting fast moving race car?
Hey guys
I happen to have a Nikon Coolpix P500 and I always struggle with the manual focus because it doesn't focus the model correct. Even on live view it is hard to tell, if the model is sharp where it is supposed to be...not to mention the electronic view finder...
Any tipps?
Great tutorials by the way. I always watch your live shows *thumbs up*
will an old battery change the quality of my photos ?
Hi, I'm unable see any video in RUclips regarding manual focus settings of Nikon B700. can you please make a video regarding the above?
The image quality is stunning I love that... I would to know if it has manual mode
how do I get videos to stay brighter? when I have the camera on the object in front of me looks bright on the camera LCD but once I start recording the video becomes dark. thanks for your help
