Nikon Z Boot Camp is on sale right now for $150 off until the end of April 20th.
If you’re coming from a Nikon DSLR, you may have wondered where the dedicated AE-L button went on your Nikon Z. The good news is Nikon didn’t remove it. They just hid it.
In this video, I’ll show you why AE-L matters, when you’d actually want to use it, and where Nikon tucked it away on many Z bodies. It’s one of those small features that can make a big difference when you want to lock exposure, recompose, and keep the camera from changing its mind in tricky lighting.
This is especially useful for backlit scenes, portraits, high-contrast situations, or anytime you want more consistent exposures from shot to shot.
If you want help with hidden buttons, menu settings, custom controls, and real-world setup tips that make your Nikon Z easier to use, Nikon Z Boot Camp covers exactly that.
