Small Bird & Jay Photography in Low Light/High ISO | Nikon Z8 & 180-600mm Lens Performance Test

In this video, I take the Nikon Z8 paired with the 180-600mm lens for a challenging bird photography session! With poor lighting conditions, I had to rely on high ISO settings to capture the action. Join me as I showcase how this setup performs when photographing small birds, including long-tailed tits, great tits, blue tits, coal tits, and the elusive jay.

You'll get a detailed look at sample images, each labeled with the ISO values to give you a clear idea of how this camera and lens handle noise and detail in low-light scenarios.
