The 5 Nikon Z Settings I Change on Every Camera

If you shoot Nikon Z, these are the first five settings I change on every camera.

In this video, I break down the Nikon Z settings that actually matter in real-world shooting and explain why they make such a big difference. This is not a boring menu walkthrough. It’s a practical Nikon setup guide focused on the settings that make your camera faster, easier to use, and more reliable when you’re actually out shooting.

We cover:
00:00 – Start
03:03 – Auto ISO
04:46 – Custom Controls
07:02 – AF Area Mode
09:05 – The i Menu
10:27 – Playback Menu

Getting your Nikon Z camera configured properly is just the beginning. My Nikon Z training programs help you understand why these settings matter and how to use them confidently in everyday photography.

I also created a free PDF called Set Your Nikon Z Up in 10 Minutes to help you work through these settings step by step on your own camera. You’ll find that linked below.

And if you want deeper help setting up and understanding your Nikon, Bootcamp registration is open now. Bootcamp is live on Zoom with a small class size, so it’s interactive, practical, and built to help you get your camera dialed in with confidence.
