Use Live View

Joe normally shoots with Live View, at least initially, since it’s easier to see the composition on the back of the screen than through a dark viewfinder. Live View is especially helpful if your night vision isn’t great, and some Nikons even have a function to boost light sensitivity in Live View, to brighten things up even more. Live View is also useful for checking focus, as you can zoom in to 100% and scroll around the frame to check any detail.
