- On October 14th, 2023, I used the Nikon COOLPIX P1000 super zoom camera to take pictures and video of the partial solar eclipse. If you're not familiar with the P1000 then you'll be surprised how close it can zoom in to the sun which is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) away from the earth. It's like having a telescope! And if you are familiar with the P1000, then a solar eclipse is perhaps the ultimate super zoom test! I wasn't in the direct path of this full annular eclipse, but I was able to get pictures and video of the moon covering about 80% of the sun… which is a lot! Plus, there were some interesting sun spots that day.
Thanks for watching!

Amongst other things, I share my thoughts on what focal length you're lens will need to get a great view.

I LOVE super zooming and have lots of super zoom videos on my UA-cam channel!

Jesus bless you, from Sydney Australia!
Hello from Arizona in the USA! Yes, the status of the P1000 is interesting. No announcement from Nikon, but all of the stores show them as out of stock. As of today the P1000 is listed as "on backorder" on the Nikon website and you can still place an order. Strange!
outstanding again you are fulgurous as well :
Thank you, thank you Jade Black!
@@OneLensTwowelcome indeed :
HI...I have the p1000 and plan to be center of the 4/8 Total Eclipse Path about 40 miles West of Austin, TX. I will be using the p1000 on a tripod and remote. What settings would you recommend? I just picked up the ICE 77mm ND100000 Optical Glass Filter Neutral Density 16.5 Stop ND 100000 77. I know I will need to remove that just prior to the Eclipse. But, want to practice between now and 4/8 with direct Sun images and needed a decent Solar Filter to protect the sensor.
Thats hilarious I just ordered the same exact solar filter and probably the same remote you have off of Amazon. Will be in San Antonio for the eclipse. Have you been able to test the filter? Is it good quality and works well? Just want to make sure its not awful quality as the review images weren't much help. It's arriving in a few days for me.
@@-Burb I took a image of the Sun mid-day handheld and wow...not bad at all! I was lazy and screwed on top of my clear filter (I use it to just keep the lens clean/protected) and that rendered a duplicate image. Took off the clear and mounted the ICE and nice image HANDHELD! With a tripod and remote will only be better. Don't miss the Riverwalk in San Antonio...lovely area!
@@alkraus8818 Awesome, thanks for the reply! Glad to hear the filter works well! Will definitely be doing the riverwalk, havent been to San Antonio in almost 20 years but remember it being a really cool city. Thanks again!
With the P1000, the sun can fill the frame, so during the partial portion of the eclipse, I've taken most photos in full auto. When the sun is mostly eclipsed or I back off on the focal length then I just adjust the exposure down in exposure compensation. I posted an article on my website with my thoughts. As for the total eclipse, I'll have to let you know about settings after April 8th as that will be my first experience! What settings are you using as you practice?
what solar filter did you use? do have name and is it sold online? thanks!
I use a solar filter from Thousand Oaks Optical. I bought it on their website - thousandoaksoptical.com. But I checked today and these filters are currently out of stock :(
