Canon cameras offer an "Exposure Safety Shift" option that can automatically change shutter speed or aperture if the selected settings would otherwise prevent a correct exposure. Does Nikon have an equivalent feature, or is Auto ISO the closest Nikon offers?

I'm unaware of any Nikon with a safety shift function.
Canon's safety shift only comes into play if a required exposure setting is unavailable... i.e. the Ap/ISO settings require a 1/8000 exposure but the camera is only capable of 1/4000. I personally don't really see the benefit...
Nikons have behavior that is somewhat similar. If using auto ISO, with min shutter speed and max ISO limits set, the camera will override the min SS setting once the max ISO setting is reached rather than letting the underexposure occur.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
Nikon does not generally offer a direct equivalent to Canon’s Exposure Safety Shift.
Canon’s Safety Shift is mainly used when your chosen settings would require a value the camera cannot provide—for example, needing a shutter speed faster than the camera’s maximum.
On Nikon, the closest similar behavior is usually through Auto ISO. If Auto ISO is enabled and you set a minimum shutter speed plus a maximum ISO, many Nikon cameras will continue changing exposure by overriding the minimum shutter speed once the maximum ISO limit is reached, rather than simply allowing underexposure.
So: no true Nikon Safety Shift feature in the Canon sense, but Auto ISO can provide somewhat similar exposure protection in certain situations.
