NIKON Z30 - How to Record Vertical Video for Shorts

Learn how to record vertical video on the NIKON Z30 for YouTube Shorts and other vertical platforms. This video shows two simple methods: rotate the camera to portrait or keep it horizontal and crop to 9:16 later. You’ll also see how to enable the 3x3 framing grid (Custom settings → Shooting and display → Framing grid display) and why it’s useful to zoom out so your subject fits when you crop. Note: the Z30 can set 9:16 for photos in-camera, but it cannot crop video files on the camera — transfer clips to your phone or computer to crop and save vertical videos.
