Nikon Z9: Features That Really Crank Up The Keeper Rate!

Рет қаралды 79,021

Күн бұрын

One question I'm constantly asked is, "How are you using your Z9 in the field for wildlife work?"
This video will help answer that question. :)
I was originally going to do "just another Z9 review," but the truth is I think at this point, a video that talks about the state-of-the-art features of the Z9 are helping me in the field is probably more useful.
So, in this video I'll cover how I'm taking advantage of some of the flag-ship level features of the Z9 and how it's helping me in the field. Take a look, I think you'll really like this one!

Steve, great video, I am a professional photographer and I have had the Z9 since last Dec. I was pretty comfortable with my setup but decided to purchase your setup guide. I can honestly say its the best $28.97 I have ever spent. I have learned a lot of neat tricks that will help me capture more great images. Thanks again. You ROCK!!!

I am devouring the Setup guide! I have only shot the camera for 2 days, and your practical advice for wildlife photography on the Z9 is producing keepers that I am sure I wouldn't have gotten if I had ventured down the path of figuring out the Z9 systems, alone. It's no surprise, considering the amount of help you provided getting the most out of my D500. I should say, I cannot help but read the set up guide, in your voice. 😂 I bet I am not alone..😃

Hi Steve, I keep my Sensor Shield off until I need to use it when changing a lens. So I put the menu item for the shield in the My Menu for ease/speed to access it. I do this for 2 reasons. 1st is it's mechanical. It will have a finite lifespan so why constantly have it open and close when not needed? The other is with the Shield turned on, the Z9 starts up and is ready to shoot in about 1 second. Having the shield off, the Z9 starts up in about .5 seconds or about half the time. With the shield off, I find the Z9 starts up as fast as my D850 and D500 did.

1/28/23 Steve really showed Nikon Z9 features to the max, very impressive wildlife photography examples, looks like the menus system has a lot of custom setting which is good and bad depending on your needs. Because of the large size and cost of the Nikon system, my preference is the Olympus OM-D micro 4/3 due to its smaller size and weight, plus meets my needs for a mirrorless camera. I can carry a lot more gear in less space and weight, a second body, plus a waterproof body. For me, this meets my photo needs, but yes I am very impressed with your review of the Nikon Z9 and the quality of your photography.

Really useful tips as always, your experience in the field really counts. I notice you use Lightroom to edit, and wonder how everybody else is finding it cranks up noise from the stacked sensor? Even iso 800 files are looking really untidy and loads of colour speckles in shadows, or even normal skin tones. You need to play around with the detail panel in Lightroom, Adobe haven't quite set the software to handle Z9 yet. However, I have heard Capture One handles RAW Z9 files perfectly.

I used 3D on my AF ON back button and Auto Area on my sub selector (Joystick) before FW 2.10, I have since switched and put Auto Area on AF on back button and use it for just about everything with animal detection. It's been FANTASTIC and MUCH stickier too for acquiring a bird and tracking in the sky or in front of trees/busy background where 3D will more often grab the background. I use 3D now for slower, closer moving animals and birds in brush with branches around the bird as it will just grab the eye. 3D is not the best overall option for acquiring and tracking faster/smaller subjects since FW 2.10

You absolutely, positively don't want a strap in that scenario. If a croc or hippo comes up from the bottom and tries to grab the "thing" it sees above water, you don't want it pulling you in with it. The water is not overly clear so you have to be very careful.

Steve, Nice Video. I'm on the fence as a Canon guy for about 50 years. I'm waiting to see what the R1 brings. I'm hoping that it matches the Z9 with 45mp but rumors are saying less. I have the R5 and know the R5mk2 is coming, but it will never be the R1. I prefer the big battery like 1DXmk2 and Z9 have. Although pricey I like the 600 f4 with 1.4 TC build in that Nikon did. I hate to take the loss and sell off my Canon gear to move to Nikon, but maybe that is what I should consider. I seem to remember way back you were shooting Canon I think? Is Nikon your favorite camera and any real shortcoming of the Z9 if I end up going that way? Oh, If I go that way I see Z9 setup guide in my future. Thanks Tom

Ciao Steve, Simone here from Melbourne. Thanks always for all the tips that you share with the community. I'm using the Z9 with the 600 f4 FL. About the 20 fps. Considering that: As you mention, I'm not very happy to shoot anything at more than 3200 ISO and I push 6400 only if very necessary to take home the shot. the ibis of the z9 is amazing and with some care, I can manage to get good shots even at 1/80 - 1/125 with the VR on the lens on, hand helded. (no sport) I found that when I use the rate of 20 fps at very low shutter speed like that, look like that the VR of the lens is not able to work in all of the 20 shots, but I have about the 50% of the shots, sharp. While, if I keep the low 10 fps mode, almost all are sharp. Now, you have that lens. Did you find that behaviour similar? Is possible that the not native lens VR could struggle to work in perfect syncro with that speed and ibis of the Z9? Am I missing something? Of course I'm talking of hand helding, I don't use tripods or monopods Thanks, Simone

Hi Joe - It sort of depends on what Nikon does. We're trying to put a system in place, but haven't quite figured it out just yet. Free updates are fine for minor stuff, but when 3.0 came out it added about 100 pages to the book and it's tough to do those for free (although, it would be an update charge, not a full price upgrade). We'll probably do something where updates are free for a time and then an update fee after that, but only if it's a big update. I'm not going to charge people for a few extra pages.

Little help.... First, I'm feeding myself with your book of the Z9, and thank you so much to dedicate yourself to create it. I did not get a thing (or I missed) about the RSF(hold or not) and I appreciate if you can assist or any one else in this post. We can dedicate few buttons to recall this option (never enough I'd say), but I did not understand if I can create an indipendent settings for different buttons, or the settings created on the menu, will be the same and shared in all the buttons assigned to it. Example I set F1 to RSF and I do too to the video record button. Can I assign 2 different settings or they will behave the same because "the root" will be always the same? I ask this because if I change it in one of those in the example, it will be show the same in the other. I hope makes sense Simone

@backcountrygallery Жыл бұрын

You can only have one RSF and it will act the same no matter how many buttons it's assigned to. Technically, you can use multiple custom setting banks for up to four different RSF functions, but to me that's a non-starter. RSF is designed to allow you to instantly change a setting or group of settings and if I first have to change to a different Custom Setting bank to get the one I want, it defeats the purpose.

@panepintosimone8140 Жыл бұрын

@@backcountrygallery Ciao and thanks to take time to answer. I totally agree with what you say about the use of the banks, is going to kill the advantage point that the RSF give. And is a shame that Nikon did not think to create something like when they added the AF mode C1 and C2; they could have create RSF1 and 2. I say this because, please tell me if I'm wrong, when I find myself trying to track a bird with RSF set to Auto AF area with the Z9, if that bird fall from a clean background to a busy area background, with the Z9 you need immediatly the Wide large, or most of the time it will lose the subject. (unfortunately this is my experience with handhelding the 600FL, lens difficult to hold, in flight). And changing the area during RSF will reset my settings to the type of shots I was before to see that bird incoming, and for me, usually is a perching bird. So would be handy to have the ability to have a RSF2 to set and push while the action is happening. Nikon, can you listen me? lol Thank you Steve

compared to the D850, focusing feels to hunt more using F-glass when shooting landscapes. especially on low contrast subjects

Hi thanks for all your video's. Though my expierience with the startup-time is not so good. My D5/6 turn the on button & click, got it, I don't get that same result on the Z9 and cost me already many hits. With my Z9 I have to anticipate tooooo far in my opinion. That's really something I hate from the Z9.

I have to agree that saying that the unwillingness to sort through images is a bit of lazyiness, and to be honest, I think this is one area that separates the "wannabe" wildlife photographers and the "pros". yes they may come home with many more images than those who shot slower frame rates because the ydidn't want to cull a lot later, but you have more options, as you mentioned, and I think that's key especially with some subject matter like BIFs and other fast-moving subjects. It just gives you options. For the same reason that they always teach you to work the subject (in general) in composition classes. yes you end up with more images, but you also have more options for later. Basically I look at it as yes it's tedious to cull through hundreds or thousands of images, but it's easier to delete ones you don't need than to have ones that you're not entirely satisfied with or that are "just OK". That's the beauty of digital. This doesn't mean be sloppy and lazy, but be "thoughtful" of what you're doing.
