Touch Shutter Demo & Exposure Tips

Day 6 of 31 Days of Blogging

Oh my word.
Why oh why can’t peonies pace themselves?
: )

Today a look at how I use the touch-shutter feature on my Nikon (when I’m too lazy to hook up the shutter release or open the SnapBridge app).
And a few quick exposure tips too.

Note:
The image on the back of the camera in the tutorial looks brighter than it actually was.

Nikon | 3 Touch Shutter Settings

(Touch shutter/AF: On)
Touch the monitor to position the focus point and focus (autofocus only; the touch shutter cannot be used to focus when the focus-mode selector is rotated to M to select manual focus). Focus locks while your finger remains on the monitor; to release the shutter, lift your finger from the screen.

(Touch AF: On)
As above, except that lifting your finger from the screen does not release the shutter. If subject tracking (0Choosing an AF-Area Mode) is active, you can focus on the current subject by tapping the monitor.

(Touch shutter/AF: Off) Touch shutter and AF disabled.
