What are the best settings on a Nikon Z8 for landscape photography? In this video take you through the settings that I would immediately apply to any Nikon Z8 that I was going to capture landscape photographs with. I've also included some new settings that are available with Firmware 2.0. Plus, I'll tell you how you can download a FREE PDF of the settings I talk about in the video.

Excellent video Julian. A very informative discription step by step of how you set up your camera. I will bring my camera round tomorrow, so get the kettle on mate. Catch up with you soon.

Cheers mate! I think the weather is rubbish this weekend so might as well drink tea/coffee and play with the menu settings on your camera! lol

Hello Julian, Welcome back and congratulations on your Z8. Of late, I've returned to shooting B&W film with my new to me, excellent condition Nikon F6 and F5, as well as two F100s. Great video and most helpful, as always.

Thanks mate, and fantastic to read your deep into your film photography. No need for firmware on those cameras! :-)

Well the menu system has changed a lot since the Z7 😱. Glad to see the grid lines option there now, as i usually use the destructive version on my Z7 as i use the 1:1 option a lot. I don't see the point of having format card in my menu now that the Z8/9 have the external 2 button format card option back on the top plate of the body. Now if only the rear screen was fully articulating, the Z8 would probably keep me with Nikon.

@jbairdexp 3 ай бұрын

When it comes to using the Format command in My Menu it's a case of old habits die hard! I admit myself, a fully articulating screen would be amazing...not so much for stills, but for video it would invaluable. :-)

@@jbairdexp I guess it is what you get used to, i have always used the external 2 button format method since my D200 days so that is what i have got used to myself. Although now with the Z7 i have had no choice but to put the format card into my menu as it can't be added to the - i menu which is where i keep everything i use, that way i rarely have to go into the menu system itself. The articulating screen is a must for me now as i can't get down to look through the viewfinder if i am doing low to the ground shots in portrait orientation, plus there have been a few times i have tried doing top down shots but wasn't able see the screen as the sun was on it with the fixed angles. I am currently having to use a tablet as a screen, but that adds more weight to my bag with all the clamps etc needed to fix it to my tripod.

@jbairdexp 3 ай бұрын

In that shooting scenario, would the vertical articulation of the Z8 screen not do the job? I shoot a lot of vertical orientation photographs and the new articulating screen on the Z8 really helps with that....because as you say, it's difficult to get your eye to the EVF sometimes.

@mrz1342 Ай бұрын

its exciting topic for me. I am going to buy a Z8, and I am worried about how much is sufficient image quality with 14bit, 45.7 mp vs my gfx100s with 16bit, 102mp! please advise.

Like I said in my other response, I think this is a question you'll have to answer yourself. :-)

@HotGates 3 ай бұрын

Very nice thanks. I have bank A set for wildlife and I'll use your settings for bank B but when you save to card does it save all banks or do I have to save separately?

@jbairdexp 3 ай бұрын

It does all banks....I have three configured and got them all back after my factory reset. :-)

Nikon please, I would like on next firmware version 3.0, when I turn the top Control Panel display ON, to be a little brighter and with more contrast

@jbairdexp 3 ай бұрын

Not sure that would be something that could be changed with firmware unfortunately. Brightness and contrast are probably baked into the physical characteristics of the panel.

@laranitasantana 3 ай бұрын

@laranitasantana 3 ай бұрын

@@jbairdexp I think if the Nikon Z8 software settings currently allows you to change the brightness on EVF and the brightness on the back LCD ... why not do the same on the Top Control Panel ?

@jbairdexp 3 ай бұрын

@@laranitasantana Probably because it uses a different type of display technology. The top panel is a much limited display type than the EVF or rear display.

@@jbairdexp On Nikon Z6II which uses the same type of panel there is an option in the settings menu to increase or decrease the Top Control Panel Display
