Welcome to Nikon

Introducing Nikon

Nikon was first established back in 1917 and quickly became one of theworld’s leading camera manufacturers. The company has a rich historyin both _lm and digital camera markets and now has an extensive lineupof cameras to suit all skill levels and budgets. From the successfulrange of COOLPIX compacts and superzooms, to the feature-packedDigital SLR cameras, there is something for everyone in the Nikon family. There is also plenty of opportunity to expand your kit with the evergrowingrange of NIKKOR lenses compatible with both the DSLR andNikon 1 compact system cameras, plus all the other accessories such asspeedlights, camera straps and bags to go along with it. However, let’s start with the digital camera line-up and discover thevery latest Nikon kit that’s on offer. Whether you’re after a simple snapperor a…

Introducing Nikon

Digital Single-Lens Re_ex cameras (DSLRs) are typically the biggest and most expensive digital cameras on the market, but for good reason because they also offer the most functionality. The bulkier size is a result of the mirror system contained inside, which bounces the image recorded by the lens up to an optical view finder so that you can see exactly what you’re photographing. DSLRs also have larger sensors for taking high-quality photos, but some are larger than others. Nikon’s FX-format cameras contain full-frame sensors, which are approximately the same size as the 35mm used in _lm cameras. They are designed to offer superior image quality with better sensitivity in low-light situations, but they also cause the camera to be much bigger and more expensive. Alternatively, Nikon’s DX-format cameras contain slightly…

Compact system cameras (CSCs) are the newest breed of camera, introduced as a more portablesolution to bulky interchangeable lens cameras. Like DSLRs, they feature manual controls and arelatively large sensor, but they do not contain a mirror system, hence why they are sometimes knownas mirrorless cameras. Instead, the light travels straight down the lens to the image sensor, so there isno option to have an optical viewfinder; just an electrical one that displays a digital representation ofthe scene. Most CSCs feature smaller cropped sensors because they are so compact in size. Because this type of camera is quite new, there are not as many lens options available as there are for DSLRs.However, as their popularity grows, so does the lens line-up, and the Nikon 1 range of CSCs already hasa…

Bridge/Superzoom

Bridge cameras tend to be a little larger than compacts due to their impressive _xed lens that can usually stretch great distances to cover a large focal range. This is why these cameras are often also known as superzooms and is what makes them a great option for taking on holiday, because you can photograph a range of di_erent scenes, from wide-angle landscapes to close-ups of distant action, without having to pack a variety of heavy lenses. So although bridge cameras can be quite bulky, they are still compact as a camera system because you only have one lens to worry about and it typically retracts into the camera body when not in use. Superzooms also usually feature manualcontrols, making them a great upgrade from asimple point and shoot compact,…

Bridge/Superzoom

Compacts are the most portable of all thecameras, with some so slim that they can slip intoyour back pocket. This makes them a popularchoice as a _rst step into photography, becauseyou can keep the camera on you at all times topractice your skills. As you’ll be in no danger ofmissing a great photo opportunity, compactsare also great for documenting everyday life andthose special family moments. Compacts come in all shapes, sizes andvarieties. Some are simple point-and-shootcameras that only feature basic auto modes,while others feature manual controls for addedcreativity. You can even buy specialist toughcompacts that are waterproof, shockproof andfreezeproof, so you can carry on shooting nomatter where you are. The compact market maybe struggling a little with increasing competitionfrom camera phones, but Nikon has a wide rangeof COOLPIX compacts to…

Pick the right Nikon lens

The beauty of DSLRs and CSCs is the ability to change the lens depending on the mood, occasion orsubject. For shooting sweeping vistas and landscapes, photographers plump for a focal length of 28mmor lower. For portraiture a standard or ‘normal’ telephoto is required, carrying a focal length of between35 and 85mm, because this is what the eye is used to seeing. Medium telephotos of 100 to 300mm areprized by wildlife and action enthusiasts, whereas super-telephotos of 300mm gift sports fans with thekit they need to reach the heart of the action. In this complete guide to lenses you’ll discover everythingyou need to know about choosing the right lens for the job, as well as tips for getting a perfect shot.

Cleaning your Nikon

Giving your Nikon a good clean will help to prolong its life and ensure it is performing to its best ability. Marks on the lens can show up in your shots and general dirt on the camera body can _nd its way intothe inner workings, so it is in your best interest to keep it spotless. The outer body of your camera is easyto clean yourself at home, but when it comes to cleaning the very delicate sensor, it is best to send itaway to be dealt with professionally. Here’s how we recommend you go about it……

The Nikon menus

Granted, Nikon’s camera menu system doesn’t sound like the most glamorous or scintillatingfacet of the device, but in actual fact understanding how to use it, and how to use it well, canreally enhance your photography. By exploring, learning and changing the menu options, photographers have the abilityto take control away from the camera and hand themselves the reigns to execute stronger,more dynamic and interesting imagery. What’s more, photographers who understand howto manipulate the in-camera system will be in a better place to challenge themselves intricky lighting conditions or in more complex shooting situations.

Ultimate guide to shooting modes

Your Nikon’s mode dial features a whole host of fantastic shooting modes that can help you develop from a ground-floor beginner to experienced enthusiast in no time at all. Whether you want to simply point and shoot in Auto and scene modes, or take more control over your exposures in semi-automatic (P, A, S) or full Manual mode, in this practical guide we’ll take you through all you need to know about using each one. Most Nikon cameras feature what’s known as a mode dial on the top plate, which gives you quick access to your shooting modes, and some require you to adjust your shooting mode via the menu interface. Explore what options you have available and then join us as we take you around the mode dial from…

Ultimate guide to shooting modes

Auto mode is known for being a straightforward, no fuss pointand- shoot setting. It’s also easy to identify on your Nikon’s mode dial and features within almost all of its camera models, only with the exception of professional-level DSLRs. Beginners who are keen to get stuck into their photography can sometimes overlook this powerful setting and head straight for the scene modes or semiautomatic (P, A, S) settings. However, Auto is a great place to start developing your skills, and in fact as a shooting mode it has the capacity to capture some really great images indoors and out. As a setting, Auto mode is designed to essentially take care of the exposure for you, which means you won’t have to learn the ins and outs of how aperture and…

Scene modes are a lot like your Nikon’s Auto mode in that they take care of exposure settings so you can focus solely on framing the shot. Most cameras offer an array of scene modes, with some of the most common being, portrait, landscape, close-up and action. Unlike your Auto mode, however, scene modes are considered slightly more advanced, and are designed to shoot using the best combination of settings for your chosen subject. For example, by selecting the Portrait scene mode, which is represented by a face icon, the camera will automatically set a wider aperture (large f-number between f2-f5.6) in order to increase depth of field so that the background softly blurs out, making your model the main focus point. Other scene modes make similar adjustments in order…

Program mode (P) appears alongside other semi-automatic modes (A, S) and full manual control (M) on the Nikon mode dial. It may seem much more advanced, and to an extent it is, but it’s still a straightforward shooting mode, even for beginners. In fact, it’s a great starting point for those keen to learn more about their exposure settings without making mistakes and missing a shot. On the surface Program mode is a lot like your camera’s Auto setting as it calculates the best shutter speed and aperture setting. Unlike Auto, however, Program can be much more flexible as it also enables you to adjust other settings, which can each have a creative impact on your images, such as metering modes, flash, ISO, white balance, focusing modes and even exposure…

Aperture Priority mode

Control the creative outcome of your images by selecting the Aperture Priority mode, represented by an A symbol. Aperture Priority is a semi-automatic mode as it enables you to set your own aperture setting while the camera determines the best shutter speed based on your selection and the scene you’re shooting. It’s ideal if you’re keen to experiment with depth of field and is commonly used for portraits, macro, still life and low-light shots. To get a shallow depth of field, which essentially blurs the background of your image, you can select a wide aperture setting (f1.4-f5.6). Provided you focus your camera on the subject in the foreground correctly, they should appear sharp while the rest of the image blurs out. Wide apertures make the opening inside the lens much…

Aperture Priority mode

Shutter Priority mode

Shutter Priority mode gives you the control your Auto and Sport scene mode can’t. It follows the same principle as Aperture Priority and is marked as an S on the mode dial. Select Shutter Priority mode in order to control how fast or slow your shutter opens and closes. Your camera will then calculate the best aperture setting based on your selection. Shutter Priority gives you freedom to capture more noticeably creative images in camera and is most commonly used when photographing fast-moving subjects or scenes that require long exposures. Inputting faster shutter speeds (1/250 and above) is great for capturing high-energy action shots of sport, and because you’re able to determine the exact speed of your shutter in this mode, you can also shoot sharp images of children at…

Shutter Priority mode

Of all the modes available, Manual mode (M) is by far the most advanced. This setting quite simply, gives you complete control over your exposures, which means you can adjust settings such as white balance, metering and focusing alongside your ISO, shutter speed and aperture. Unlike Aperture and Shutter Priority mode, where the camera helps to balance an exposure based on the setting you’ve selected, in Manual the stabilisers are off and all the decisions regarding exposure are up to you. Manual is a great mode for experimenting but avoid rushing into using this setting if you simply want to grab a quick shot. To get great results in Manual mode, you need to have a clear understanding of how exposure works, which is something you can start to pick…

Nikon was the first camera manufacturer to introduce video recording into DSLRs with the launch of its D90 model. Due to its success, Video mode is now considered a staple feature in most cameras, including compacts. Being able to access stills and video capture in one camera means it’s even easier to record precious family moments on the go. If your Nikon camera offers Video mode, it may appear on the mode dial as a video camera icon or could be accessed via a switch that turns the camera from still to video on the back of the camera. On some models you may even have to select it via the menu interface. Check your Nikon manual to see if Video mode is available on your camera. Once you’ve selected…

Composing your shots

Composition is one of most basic yet important skills for creating images, and is used by artists and photographers alike. It describes what is included within the frame and where it is positioned, with the aim of creating the most engaging and visually pleasing image possible. How you compose a photo can have a big impact on how it is interpreted, so it is one of the first things you should learn about in photography. In this guide we will take you through some simple tips for creating stunning images every time, no matter which Nikon you own. When taking a photo of any scene, it can be tempting to simply point and click so you can move on to the next shot. However, taking your time over an image…

Focusing your Nikon

Editing software has come a long way and now boasts some incredible tools to sharpen up soft shots. They can’t save one that’s simply out of focus, however, so it’s vital to learn how to keep it sharp in-camera. The best way to do this is to learn the right mode for the job, as well as utilising tricks like pre-focusing, and selecting your AF point. Read on to explore these methods further but to begin with we’ll take you through the very basic method of focusing your camera – just half-press the shutterrelease button to focus, then fully press it to take the shot. It’s as simple as that! It’s vital to learn the focusing modes. Nikon cameras come with the fundamental AF–S and AF–C modes. AF–S stands for…

Metering your shots

Just like our eyes, cameras record the available light in a scene in order to produce an image. However, a camera is not quite as sophisticated as the human eye and can sometimes struggle to record light accurately. When we view a scene, our eyes automatically balance out the different level of light intensity so that we can see as much detail as possible. Cameras also try to do this, however due to their relatively limited dynamic range, areas of shadow can appear incredibly dark, while bright areas can appear excessively light. To avoid this problem, it helps to know how to control your camera’s metering system. Keep an image’s whites white When photographing bright white or deep black subjects, your camera’s metering system can often struggle, as it will…

Metering your shots

Control white balance

Your white balance setting plays an important role in how your camera captures colour but seeing as most auto white balance modes are so accurate these days, it is something that is often overlooked. In this guide, we’ll explain how white balance really works and point out why it’s worth getting out of Auto and exploring what this mode really has to offer. Here you’ll discover more about each white balance setting and find out how it can be used to help record colours accurately in your shots or even add creative effects to your photos. JPEG vs RAW white balance It’s important to note that if you’re shooting in JPEG and have set the wrong white balance it will be difficult, and sometime impossible, to correct it later when…

Control white balance

Master ISO Discover this essential element in manual exposures and when it’s best used. Sometimes you’re just going to have to crank up the noise! ISO is the third part of the exposure triangle alongside aperture and shutter speed. Setting a higher ISO will increase how sensitive the sensor is to light, which brightens up exposures. Some modern cameras have a huge range – you can now shoot in incredibly dark environments and still get useable shots. The downside is that noise will surface at higher settings, resulting in specks appearing and you may notice the colours become desaturated and details are softer. It’s a payoff you have to be aware of but it’s an incredibly useful tool. Edit out noise Sometimes you just have to raise your ISO and…

Work with flash

Improve pop-up flash results If you can’t afford a speedlight right away, there are tricks you can apply to improve the results from your camera’s fixed flash. Try placing a piece of white paper underneath it, angled towards the ceiling. This will bounce the light, creating softer, more even results. You could place an old milk carton over your flash to diffuse it, and a piece of tracing paper can make a subtle but effective difference. Flash is a powerful weapon; even your pop-up flash can improve your images. Try using fill-in flash on backlit subjects – where once a subject was in shadow you’ll now see an even exposure. The problem with fixed flashes, however, is when fired straight on they can have harsh results, and this is where…

Capture stunning portraits

Portraits, head and shoulder shots, selfies – no matter how you look at it, portrait photography is a massive part of our day-to-day life. How can you ensure that you’re capturing stunning portraits with your Nikon camera? The art of taking a portrait is a skill, and like all good skills, it’s something you learn, so let’s start with the basics. The essential kit For any photographer starting out, all you need are the three core materials: light, a camera, and your subject. Once you have acquired your model and your kit, it’s time to look at the technicalities of both what and how you’re going to photograph. People come in diff erent shapes and sizes, so it’s easy to get carried away in the flow of taking images and…

Shoot landscape photography

Landscape photography is one of the oldest and most widely appreciated forms of photography. Traditionally it explores the beauty of natural environments, such as dense forests, deserts and mountain ranges. Landscape photography isn’t limited to nature; urban landscape photography can be just as awe-inspiring. As long as you can find a space that inspires, you can shoot landscape photography. It’s also an easy style to get into, as all you need is a camera, a lens and a good eye for landscapes. Picking a good lens There is a benefit to building up the right kit when it comes to landscape photography. If you’re looking for a lens specifically for landscape photography it’s important that you consider your Nikon camera’s format sensor. Nikon sensors come in two types: DX and…

Photograph the finer details of life

Macro photography is arguably one of the most abstract incarnations of the art, whether it’s photographing tiny insects and making them look like behemoths or capturing textures and transforming them into abstract landscapes. So what is macro photography? The simple answer is close-up, detail photography, like photographing details in a landscape through binoculars. Macro photography is relatively straightforward as it’s all about distance. Not just the physical distance between photographer and subject, but more a closeness inside your camera. The sensor within your camera, whether it’s cropped or full-frame, sits static at the bottom of a lens once one is attached, and there it stays, capturing the light sent to it. All the lens has to do is move glass closer or farther away from the sensor to send a…

Shoot amazing wildlife photos

The greatest asset, other than a Nikon camera, that every wildlife photography enthusiast should have, is patience. If you’re not a patient person this genre may be a struggle, as to get the most natural, awe-inspiring images, you’ll typically need to conceal yourself, keep quiet and wait – sometimes for long periods of time – before your subject even emerges. What’s more, when the animal does appear, its presence may be fleeting, so it’s important to know your camera inside-out, so you can work efficiently in the few moments you do have. Over these pages we’ll cover everything you need to know, from embracing the right settings to carrying the best kit. Set up to shoot Ensuring your camera is ready for action before any wildlife appears makes the difference…

Master black and white

Black and white images are timeless in their appeal, and the good news is that the whole procedure can be simple. Because cameras have default style options for colour toning and advanced white balance controls, shooting in black and white is relatively easy. Select your shooting mode, set it to black and white and away you go. But if you are serious about the style, you will need to put in a little more e_ort for the results you want. The rebirth of black and white The _rstSin City _lm was an explosion of style that captured people’s imaginations. Shot on green screen, lit to replicate the classic _lm noir look and mainly black and white, it paid homage to its source material, and also made black and white new…

Take fantastic low-light snaps

Shooting in daylight is something we take for granted, after all it’s when the majority of our shots are taken, but when it comes to mood and setting, low light is hard to beat. Shooting in low light is a skill that utilises your camera’s sensor capabilities for noise reduction and ISO sensitivity, as well as your lens’ aperture range. When you set the ISO on your camera, you adjust its sensitivity to light. On a standard DSLR your typical ISO range would be 100 to 1600, and on higher-end DSLRs the range would be from LO 1.0, lower than 100, to HI 1.0, higher than 6400. Know your ISO A general guide to understanding ISO is that 100 is suitable for the brightest sunny day or studio lighting; 400…

It is important, however, that there is some contrast between the light and dark areas in a photograph. Without contrast an image can start to feel _at and uninspiring. Use exposure adjustments to make your image feel as though it were evenly exposed, so that your highlights aren’t blown out and your shadows aren’t so dark that…

Sharing photographs online may be the easiest way to exhibit your work, but nothing beats a printed image that can be physically put on display. The popularity of printing photographs has diminished, but it doesn’t take much to create high-quality prints of your images at home using a standard printer. When printing photographs at home, it’s advised that you print using photography paper, which is a little more expensive than normal paper but the jump in quality is massive. Purchase from a stationery store or online. If you don’t own a printer there is a variety of online printing services available, including Flickr’s print ordering tool and sites such as photobox.co.uk, which offers a variety of different print types to be ordered and delivered to your home. Ordering prints online…

Wireless sharing

A range of new Nikon cameras feature in-built Wi-Fi technology that allows users to take, share and download images instantaneously. This is a fantastic facility, particularly when you are away from home or your memory card has reached its capacity. And the beauty of it is that beginners right through to professional photographers can make use of the technology. So, whether you’re a proud parent wanting to share your recent pictures with family, or a professional on location who needs to beam sports, news, fashion or product images straight to a client or agency, you can do so in a matter of a few seconds and clicks. While not every Nikon sports this feature, most are at least compatible with Nikon’s Wi-Fi adaptors (WU-1a and WU-1b) and what’s more, photographers…

Back up your photographs

Backing up your photographs is crucial in securing your images. There is always a risk that a hard drive could suddenly fail, so it’s important that you have your photos stored on a backup hard drive. Purchase a hard drive online with the capacity to hold your images then drag and drop them into it. There are other cost-effective options for backing up your images. Free image library software is provided by both Windows (Photo Gallery) and Apple (Photos). These enable you to export your entire library to an external storage device. Another option is to use a cloud service where you can access and download your photos at any time. Services such as Google Drive and Dropbox make this easy, providing you with desktop folders that you can simply…

Back up your photographs

AF (auto focus) Most new lenses come with an auto focus function, making focusing on your subject easy. The faster a lens the quicker it will be able to focus, helping you capture that crucial shot. AF-S Stands for Auto Focus Silent. This is a more advanced focusing function found on Nikon lenses that allows for faster and silent focusing. Lenses that boast AF-S are more expensive than those with standard AF. Aperture/ F Stop Use aperture to control your camera’s exposure. The wider the aperture of a lens, (a low f-stop) the more light will pass through it. The smaller the aperture, (a high f-stop) the less light. Aperture Priority Setting your camera to Aperture Priority allows you to adjust the aperture to your liking, while the camera’s Auto…
