    The Nikon Z9 Guide for Wildlife Photographers/by Warren Hatch
    Editorial Consultant: Arthur Morris


    In this downloadable e-book (you will receive a link by e-mail), you’ll learn everything a wildlife photographer needs to know about the Nikon Z9. The Z9 is one of the most complex camera bodies ever made. In this guide, the brilliant Warren Hatch will teach you exactly how to set up your Z9 for bird, wildlife, and nature photography. The camera offers hundreds of settings and options. Selecting the right combination of these is essential to effectively use the Z9 in the field.

    This 83-page guide, created in the tradition of the many mega-successful BIRDS AS ART Camera User’s Guides, includes:

     1- Extensive information on the autofocus system and the optimal settings for the various shooting situations that wildlife photographers encounter including and especially for birds in flight.
     2- The camera controls – what they do and how to customize them for your shooting style and varying conditions.
     3- Configuring the camera so that you never need to take your eye from the viewfinder when the action unfolds.
     5- Insights and details on using legacy F-mount lenses on the Z-9.
     6- Practical advice about the camera batteries and chargers.
     7- How to take advantage of the new capabilities introduced with firmware v2.00.
     8- The AF-area Modes you should use and those you should avoid.

    Alan Murphy on the Z9 Guide

    I was excited to learn that Warren Hatch had written a guide to the Nikon Z9 as I have been learning so much about the camera from him. I’ve had the Z9 for several months. Whenever I was puzzled by my new mirrorless camera body, I’d call Warren. He always had the answer. Now, everything that he knows about this great camera body — it continues to amaze me, is available to everyone. Warren’s Z9 guide is great asset for Nikon shooters.

    So Who the Heck is Warren Hatch?

    When it comes to Nikon camera bodies and nature photography, Warren Hatch is not chopped liver.

    Warren retired from the information technology field eight years ago. He began as a computer programmer and retired as the Chief Information Officer of a multibillion-dollar consulting firm. He has been photographing full-time since then. His images have been honored by Audubon, Nature’s Best, and other international photo contests. Like me, photography is both his profession and his passion. For decades, Warren has made a concerted effort to understand what each and every camera body feature does and believes that his in-depth knowledge of his cameras’ buttons, dials, and capabilities has improved his photography.

    Because of his close ties to Nikon, Warren was one of the first in the US to get his hands on a Z9. Not to mention a Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S lens!

    For the past ten years, Warren has extracted the encrypted metadata from the Nikon NEF (raw) files for all Nikon professional camera bodies. The metadata contains the camera settings that include detailed autofocus information that is not available in Nikon’s NX Studio. He shares the extracted metadata with Phil Harvey who uses it in his hugely popular ExifTool software.
