Auto-capture with Nikon

This article was translated from Dutch with the help of AI. Read the original.

What if you could tell a camera to take a photo automatically when the subject enters the frame? Nikon offers this option with the Auto-capture function.

Auto-capture is exactly what the name suggests. The camera automatically takes one or more photos when a subject enters the frame. You decide which conditions must be met.

Choose which subject the camera should respond to, and the direction in which it is moving. Or choose the distance within which the subject must be. You decide when the camera should respond.

In the video above, I explain how the system works and how to choose the settings. Are the criteria too broad? Then you will get too many photos. Are they too strict? Then there is a chance that you will not take any photos.

The settings you choose determine the success of Auto-capture. It is important to try the function out extensively. Learn how the camera responds to different settings.

The Auto-capture function is available on the Nikon Z6 III, which I use in the video. The Nikon Z8 and Z9 also have this function. Make sure you have an up-to-date firmware version.

Thanks to Nikon for providing the camera.
