Nikon Education review

Nikon Education, the online arm of Nikon School, sells short video courses one at a time. Most are camera guides: Getting the Most Out of Your Z5II, Z50II, Z6III or Z 8 cost $29.95 each, and newer Getting Started guides for the Z5IIC and ZR cost $14.95. They cover the physical controls, menus, autofocus and subject detection, Picture Controls, file formats and video basics for that specific body, and several are free when you register a new camera. A few genre courses are not tied to a camera, including Wildlife Photography featuring Nikon Ambassador Ron Magill and Food Photography featuring Joanie Simon at $34.95, and Better Holiday Photos with Nikon Ambassadors at $19.95. Courses play on a computer, tablet or smartphone and stay available until a listed date. The catalog is small and brand-specific, so it is a supplement for Nikon owners rather than a full photography education.
