Hi Kiran, We do have a course on Photoshop here. Not sure how you missed it.

I have stopped using PS and now do my entire processing on LRC.

Since you will have to buy the Nikon lenses as well, why don’t you consider Sony mirrorless and corresponding lens? For wildlife, nothing better than a Sony.

I understand the Sony 24-70 f/2 lens is expensive. But have you considered the Sony FE 20-70mm f/4 G?

Avoid using the crop sensor. As you end up cropping the image for close-up and not get actual magnification. You need to study the MTF chart of the 100-400 lens and see how sharp it is and if it can take a TC and still give you sharp results.

For Laptop or desktop, you need to have a good display along with basic requirement of 16-32GB RAM, min 500GB to 1TB SSD and a separate graphics card if possible. It all depends on your budget for the laptop.

You can also consider the Sony 200-600 for the reach and flexibility along with the Somy A7RV.

Hi Nick, There is no standard exposure like that. But a few tips – depending on the lens being used (assume it’s wide angle) and the lighting you may want to use a aperture value of f8 and ISO between 100-400 (depends purely on light) and choose a shutter speed depending on the scene you are shooting.

It’s important that you understand about the core concepts of exposure and arrive at your own settings based on the creativity of what you want to shoot.

You can refer the Z9 guide as the menu options will be the same and probably a few missing compared to z9.

Not exactly..the exposure compensation dial cannot be used in complete manual exposure, but you will see the indication of exposure and you need to adjust any of the ISO, Aperture or shutter speed to over expose or under expose.
