It's a challenge when you have a kit full of good Z gear for a holiday. I will pair this up with the 24-200 lens, combined with the kit lens that will do for a holiday! I only wish it had a viewfinder as it's a bit hard to see the screen in daylight, and more likely will miss some compositions or even focus points. Equally, to keep an eye on the AF tracking being on or off! Weigh is the enemy of travel.

Excellent video, this video really helped me to understand a lot about this camera so thank you for taking the time to make the video. I really really really thought about what camera i wanted to get and the Z30 just seemed to be ahead of the rest. However after watching a lot of videos about this camera and deciding to buy the Z30 i have to say that there are a few things that really disappointed me, the biggest thing is the almost criminal battery life. I am getting literally about 20 minutes of video recoding on what i would argue are standard settings (1080p 60fps) anything better than that and the recording time halves. I have looked at dummy batteries, but i dont want the thought that i could damage the camera. I have looked at external power packs and i think that these will help, but again, this is another extra cost on top of the price of the camera i have just paid. The AF is bad. I have looked at the many settings and i have watched more videos and i just cant seem to get the camera to focus on anything closer than 5 or 6 inches from the lenses, no matter what i do its not focusing, i am hoping that this is my fault and just something that i am missing in the settings, but if it is, its hidden really well. One last thing that i noticed with my camera and this might be an issue with just my unit, but the camera battery indicator light does not turn off when the battery is fully charged. This means that i have to just charge the camera battery for hours, or basically over charge the battery (the battery takes many hours to charge) and hope that the battery is fully charged, obviously this is not good for the life of the battery.
@MaartenHeilbron
@MaartenHeilbron 10 ай бұрын
Right. Whether it's lenses, cards, ND filters or more hard drives for storage, there will obviously be more costs than the camera. For battery life, unless you want to invest in several batteries, buy one good external USB-C PD (power delivery type) and connect it to the USB-C port. I would not worry about battery life if it remains plugged in after it's fully charged. I'm certain that Nikon's firmware manages that. As for AF - please check the focus capabilities of your lens - 5-6" is closer than most lenses are capable of focussing. If you need closer (or are looking for a larger view of your subject) try a macro lens. As you correctly observe, there is no perfect camera.

It helps for video when you'd like to use a shutter duration of 1/60 and that leaves you with few aperture options, or possibly it doesn't provide sufficient range to get a proper exposure.

Yes, it's a small battery that loses charge quickly - my largest complaint was that it looks full for a long time and then suddenly it's drained. If you're having trouble keeping it running when connected to power, you may need to get a PD*-specific USB adapter, charger or external battery instead of using a port on your computer. Also, thanks very much for your kind words. *PD = power delivery

Start slowly, by using the A mode. Set the aperture to achieve your level of background defocus let the camera set the shutter duration. When you've mastered that, do the same thing with S mode. Choose the shutter speed to capture the motion (freeze or blur) and let the camera set the aperture. Then go full M and set both! On the other hand, why? Let the camera do what it can do (set expsoure, colour balance, etc) while you do what you do best - framing the image and deciding exactly when to snap.

Hi, is there any color grading video mode? Like log profile? Or can we do it manually?
@MaartenHeilbron
@MaartenHeilbron Жыл бұрын
You can colour grade from any mode - neutral or flat profiles are good starting modes for any model of any camera. The trick is not to start with a setting that requires you to undo some things in order to return to a neutral starting point. However, in my experience, sometimes I'd prefer to start with a colour profile that provides a little more colour saturation, as it's much easier to tone it down than to increase it. Final note - have a colour chart, even if it's a small and inexpensive one handy if you're planning to grade, and capture it in the scene at the start of each take.

@MaartenHeilbron Ай бұрын
As I returned the camera to Nikon after the review, I'm not in a position to do that. While it might not be my first choice for video production, it should be fine. I generally recommend that you use the highest quailty settings, shutter duration of 1/60 and the lowest possible ISO - underexpose slightly (about 1 stop). Do a custom white balance using a gray (or white) card and get as many of your colour adjustments done in camera to avoid doing them in post where the low bit rate will otherwise create artifacts as you make more than the most minor adjustments. Hope this helps.

I had trouble with this camera stopping recording without warning or explanation. I think it stopped because it was low on memory, but it was annoying that during an interview I had to trouble shoot to try to figure out what was going on and why. Also, when I tried to free up space by moving files to my laptop over the USB C connection, copying seems to be rather slow. Also I could copy or record, not both at the same time.

So, it wasn't without explanation, and if you were watching the screen, not without warning either. I'm not sure why you're blaming your lack of preparation on anyone other than yourself.

Although the Z30 is capable, you'll be better served by a Z6II or Sony A7-4. For both the 70-200 F2.8 lenses are excellent, but you may also want a longer reach for some situations.

Just got my Z30. Wondering what is the best / safest way to charge the battery while traveling? So far have just used the included cord to connect to my laptop. But I won't be taking the laptop on vacation ... Is it OK to use a phone/ipad charger, and if so, what strength (5amp, 20 amp?)
@MaartenHeilbron
@MaartenHeilbron Жыл бұрын
I'm not an engineer, nor do I have a relationship with Nikon. However, from my understanding, any charger (battery or wall plug) that has a USB-C output will be compatible. For full confidence, look for one that supports PD (power delivery).

@@MaartenHeilbron Thanks. It appears my iPad charger is PD capable- so I’ll try that today. I got a bundle with their creator kit & was hoping that would include a charger. You’d think for $900 that one of the bundles would include a simple $20 wall charger!

Understood. In lenses, a larger mm will get you closer to a far-away subject. In less expensive lenses that will come at the expensive of the size of the widest aperture, which means you'll either need to be taking photos in well lit situations or use a higher ISO with grainier images. The DX50-250mm, which has an aperture of F6.3 at its furthest might be your best (reasonably priced) solution. Otherwise, you'll end up buying an FX lens, which is likely overkill for this camera.

The 4K video quality here is suitable for most purposes (streaming services like Netflix have standards this camera does not meet). I'm not sure how big your screen is, but you should be fine. Remember that quality video is not just dependent on the resolution, but also on the lens and the lighting.

While a camera that doesn’t have a shutter curtain when it’s turned off may be considered inferior, it’s really a Sony issue as their sensors seem to be dust magnets. While you should always be prudent while changing lenses, I would not be unduly concerned about this.

Te: shutter change has more consequences. In default settings while taking a video shutter acts as a focus assistant, if you make this change, the shutter doesn’t work like that, it switched the focus to manual. Not terrible solution if you prefer it.
