It's no different. The settings I speak of are on the gadget controlling the camera shutter taking shots, nothing to do with the settings of the camera itself mate. In daylight I shoot in A, Aperture priority I think it is. It refocuses after every shot.
At night add one of those Rhino lights or similar and change camera settings to auto.
Tinpot set the settings on my Nikon SLR body the day I got it & they have never been changed ever since either.
Although to be fair, on the Thames all carp big or small always get sacked until 9am to avoid spooking the rest of shoal to catch more.... And lakes I tend to fish it's a momentous occasion when one gets caught so they normally get sacked too if worthy of a proper photo. I do not believe in floating retainers and never have. The most stupid invention for carp fishing ever. Over engineering something to solve problems that were never there. I believe they actually create unnecessary problems holding a carp up in the surface layers. They are always agitated. I will only use one if made too by silly lake rules. A net is no good for long periods either they just go crazy trying to escape! If a carp is ever retained, it should be on the bottom, with its eyes covered to keep it calm. You know, a carp sack... Not in a floating retainer up on the surface, not in a landing net.
That's a brace of Burghfield 42lb+, waiting to be photographed. Both were caught in daylight. First one got sacked. As they do, Sat on surface for a minute. Then went to bottom where she never moved again. The fish in sack on right has just been put there. Up on surface for one minute dispelling air via bubbles, then she will sink to bottom, relax and never move again until I remove her when some one arrives to do photos. If they were in retainers, they would be held up on surface against their will, rocking in the waves and constantly agitated.

Tripod with a decent phone camera, most have voice activation now, which makes it easier.
Net fish, set up mat and tripod, photo / video and return the fish.
You can put fish in a retainer, the idea being that it's slightly better in some situations than to leave them in the net.
Most lake rules will allow you to 'retain' a fish while you sort out your camera etc. These are not meant to be left out all night with the fish in.
Majority of lakes nowadays wont allow you sack fish overnight anymore and tbh with all the decent equipment for a good photo there's no real need to.

I just set my phone up on a bucket against a mug or something , make sure mat is in picture and it looks ok and when I get a fish, open camera up and just say "capture ". Not sure why people need apps, the phones do it all these days. Work at night also with flash on. Good enough for a picture of a fish IMO

Why do you need a delay for a video?
You're never going to get a good result taking a still from a video, you might get something adequate if you aren't too fussy, but it's never going to be good
