Nikon D780

The 24.5 MP D780 DSLR camera with next generation image processing for full frame stills and 4K UHD video lets you easily share images wirelessly and is packed with creative features.

The demonstration of adjusting exposure compensation during golden hour also appeals to users interested in landscape or portrait photography in appealing lighting conditions.

It instructs viewers to switch from auto to program mode, locate the exposure compensation button, and then adjust the dial while holding the button to either add or remove light, encouraging them to experiment with different settings during sunrise or sunset.
