You bring so much energy to this tech talk review. I am so impressed with the Z series, I'm so glad that Nikon did rise above. It was so discouraging to hear all the doubters and critics. I love my Z6 and Z7II. All my Z glass. I'm selling my old bodies and going Z9. Thanks, Maarten for being here for all of us. I'm still going to take you up on that cup of coffee - remember our mutual invitations. Much love

Anyway to lock the focus point? I back button focus (which I like to call machine focusing - shutter button focus disabled but not really manual since I’m using Afs mode) and the little knob that positions the red box in the display is easy to accidentally hit and then you have to find it over on the edge somewhere and move it back more towards the center where you can then line it up on the subject.

After a few weeks with the Z9 I have found the ISO is now all of a sudden a bit finicky. And aperture is now also all over the place as well. I still have a ton of learning to do so these might just be rookie questions :). I will also try and find any link here you might have to send in a donation.

A gentleman I know had a Z9 at the local nature spot last week. I asked him, if there was anything he didn't like. His response was that the camera kept going to sleep after 10 seconds. I pulled up the menu on my Z6 and guided him to turn off the sleep function. After setting it and seeing that it worked he let out a big sigh of relief. I knew his pain, as I remembered struggling to find this when I first got my Z6.

Love your sweet sarcasm! The thing I add to video is Waveform (although in such a small rendition it is nearly useless to properly expose for skintone or greycard... and for run & gun ETTR is easier at-a-glance with a histogram), and digital horizon to the video mode display. I will figure out also a way to quickly switch between video modes, since different situations and objectives may require switching between 10-bit N-Log, 12-bit N-Log N-RAW, 10-bit HLG

@MaartenHeilbron
@MaartenHeilbron Жыл бұрын
Here's the thing. When the mode is at A, you are telling the camera it can set the shutter duration. If you want to control the shutter duration, you must use M (or S) modes. BTW - 1/50th seems like the right duration for either 50 or 100 fps. That provides the right amount of motion blur to allow the human eye to perceive the individual frames as smooth motion.

Although this amazing piece of tech may change my old school habits, for now I like to start with Aperture Priority then switch to manual to fine tune and add consistency to a series of shots. Hit the play button and all you get is useless info at the bottom. But… if you select Playback menu, Playback display options, Exposure info, when you press the down side of the OK button wheel you can see the exposure for that image.

I already got got, the first 30 photos on my first Z9 job were taken in JPEG and I only realized it when I couldn't figure out why they looked off when I was reviewing them and brought up the file info screen and saw that the file extension was not .NEF. A lot of the settings you talked about are genuinely really puzzling. You spend $6,000 on an ultra-advanced, professional camera body and most of the functions Nikon advertised as benefitting the professional are off by default and buried in the menu system. Perhaps not annoying since it only takes a few seconds to change, but certainly bizarre.

Exactly, can’t understand why they’d do that.

They set it to JPEG normal so you could be wowed by 100 FPS. That's a pretty good foot forward

If that's the rationale - I think they should put their best foot forward and go with the best image quality.

Here’s another one - Playback menu, Rotate tall - turn it OFF. Otherwise when reviewing images, anything you shot vertically (portrait) will only show letterboxed even if you rotate the body. Of course you can still zoom in but better to start full frame.

Sadly, a bet you’d lose. Never watched much tv, except the occasional sitcom episode.
