At least one study has indicated that constantly looking at yourself to make sure you’re presentable and reacting appropriately is part of what makes being in video calls all day so tiring. There’s also the idea that it could help alleviate Zoom fatigue. Zoom sees this feature as useful for a lot of different scenarios - in its press release, it mentions showing up with an avatar filter on could “bring some fun to your team-building meetings” or help pediatricians seem less intimidating to young children. The company says this feature, which is included in the Zoom 5.10 update, will only let you become an animal at launch, but that new avatar options will be added in the future.

( Check your User's Manual to see exactly how to use the features in the camera.Zoom will let you show up to your next meeting as a rabbit, fox, dog, or another type of animal, using its new Avatars feature that replaces you with a virtual character that copies your expressions, Memoji-style. Shoot video as you zoom into your shot, or experiment with time lapse of the moon’s movement across the sky. Use some of the fun effects that are built-into the camera for a unique view.

Other ways to get creative: set the Picture Control in the camera to B&W since the moon against the black sky is pretty much a monochromatic image. If you’re using a wide-angle lens and the moon is a small element, it likely won’t cause the overall image to suffer if the moon is blown out with no visible details. It also makes the actual compositing easier to do.

Use the same focal length that you shoot the landscape with, when you photograph the moon, for the most realistic look in the final composite. Another technique is to photograph the moon and the landscape as separate images and combine them together using an image-editing program. One of those techniques is by using the Multiple Exposure function that is incorporated into the COOLPIX P900. There are a few ways that you can add the moon to another image for a more interesting composition. In this case the optimum solution may be to create a multiple exposure or composite. Exposing for the foreground might cause the moon to be overexposed, and exposing for the moon might cause the foreground to be too dark. Photographing the moon along with the foreground landscape can be tricky because of the wide dynamic range. Find your subject again and then release the button-the P900 will zoom right back in. If you lose sight of your subject while zoomed in, press the Snap-Back Zoom button for a quick zoomed-out view. Use a shutter speed of at least 1/15 second or faster since the moon actually moves pretty fast across the sky. Using Spot metering will also help you get the correct exposure for the moon, which will be the brightest part of your image. If you’re using any of the PSAM exposure modes, setting the camera’s exposure manually or use program or shutter or aperture priority, you may want to underexpose the image to ensure that the detail of the craters on the moon’s surface aren’t blown out. Don’t have a tripod? Brace yourself against a sturdy object or place the camera on a sturdy surface and use the Vari-angle LCD to compose the image. You may also want to use a tripod, and if you do, remember to set the VR to OFF in the setup menu. Select it and the camera will optimize the settings, focusing at infinity, in the center of the frame.

The COOLPIX P900 features a Moon Scene Mode. The lens is so powerful that zooming the camera in all the way means part of the moon will get cropped out-so you actually have to zoom out a little bit to get the entire moon in your shot. The P900’s Vibration Reduction image stabilization means you can handhold the camera as you zoom into the moon. Use the camera’s Dynamic Fine Zoom, an enhanced digital zoom that effectively doubles the reach-to a 4000mm equivalent! Want to get even closer? Enable the digital zoom and you’re up to the equivalent of a 8000mm lens. The COOLPIX P900 has an 83x optical zoom which means it’s the equivalent focal length of 2000mm.

Full moons-whether they’re Supermoons or not-make great subjects to photograph, and its easier than ever to shoot the moon with the Nikon COOLPIX P900 and its built-in Moon Scene Mode.
