It's not that I'm not content. I think something might be wrong with my camera though when I try using the suggestions.
Chris, you can have digital in P. I use it sometimes. My camera is always left in P with digital enabled and I only set it to something else if the need arise. I used auto once, didn't like it and not again. I like to have more control. I also tried "Bird" but don't use it as it's settings don't do it for me. I use my camera for bird pictures more than 90% of the time.
I tried again today and no digital zoom in 'P'.
I tied turning off continuous, follow focus & tracking - still no go.
Must be me ??
Chris, just tried mine and can get digital zoom in "P" What do you mean "follow focus and tracking" ?

It will do it so you must have a setting that restricts it eg maybe Macro? Anyway Reset your settings to Default and set it up again. For birds Aperture Priority will give you faster speeds.

Any distances on the photos and Exif data on the shots?
I tried macro, infinity & manual - turned off VR.
As you say a reset will be the sensible thing to do next.
Wait up !! .....found it - Zoom Memory won't allow digital zoom over 2000mm except in Auto mode.
Auto mode ignores Zoom Memory.
I have checked the web and it seems there is no easy and/or cheap way to do this. Well, not a big deal, I just thought it could help in those cases where I wanted to copy a few pictures only.Guys, can I connect to the P900 with a PC? A simple connection attempt did not succeed (P900 wifi turned on, PC WiFi adapter switched to Nikon. It tries to connect, but nothing happens). Or the WiFi connection is for mobile devices only?
Hi fellow birders!
I have just got my P900 yesterday. I do not have any photos to share yet, but... This morning I took the camera out for a quick test while walking the dog. The very first bird I saw was a woodpecker up on a tree in front of our house. I could take only two shots before it flew away. When I checked them on my PC (well, they were definitely not keepers) the bird turned out to be a Syrian woodpecker (and not a great spotted woodpecker as I expected). I have never seen this species in this area before So, it is a very promising start.
