Nikon's forward looking retro? - what might the Nikon camera roadmap hold?
simple I don't think so
This is helpful
Thanks so Much!!!!!!! You did things that many of us would never think of :) I have been watching You for a long time... ThankYou for All of Your Hard Work :) :) :)
How do I change the fps 20 fps for bank A and 5 fps for bank B? At this monent when I change it it's the same for all (A,B,C,D)
You could just carry an extra camera battery and a portable phone battery charger/booster that extends the life of your phone battery. But I would check that you did not accidently leave wifi on as that will drain a lot more power. I don't know much about Nikons but bluetooth gps tagging on its own shouldn't really use a noticeable amount of power. Someone did a back to back test with bluetooth GPS on/off (with a different camera) and found negligible difference both with camera and phone battery (start at 10.23): watch?v=4DC0U7fMSs0
Is it ever important to use the EVF? I only use my monitor for about 2 years now
Waste of time , why not show how to set it on the camera
Hi! Can you use It in full manual mode Without batteries? I mean, Is The camera fully mechanical?
Yes, I think you can.
I was confused with this extended menu banks thing lol. Thank you for explanation. It's very helpful!
seems totally useless to me. But can not think of any uses for the whole idea of in camera retouching
Raw only.
simple explanation and interesting way to try it out. Will take time to practice !
took me some time to find this but wow :) Thanks
Thank you ! This was most helpful !
I cannot set my shutter to mechanical with my lens 24-120 f4 S. Where as when I put on my 5o mm 1.8 it does allow me to choose mechanical shutter. I have. Z7 ii. Can you help please
I have never heard of HDR with 2 images , you're a joke.
Thanks 👍
If shooting in RAW, does it apply effects on to the file that can be changed/reset in post? or does it not transfer over to the file at all?
I don't think it transfers.
There's no option which you showing
??????delirant
its not to clear to me how or when the camera saves the settings for each bank. on my Z6 you save the settings to U1/2/3
With your video I was able to find out why it was not working for me. Did not know it could not be higher then 30fps. Thanks for this
i cant find the "control panel brightness" in the z6iii. its not there
Great explanation. Thank you.
Well, I can't find 'save/load' settings on my Z50.
subscribed!
So can we have thirds instead of froths?
there was comment above about kind of firmware which fixes the issue
Its also d12 on Z8
Excellent video 😊!
Thank you so much. Will give it go with birds in flight!
This could be done better. The image should get smaller so you notice its not taking up the entire screen. Setting this alert to off by default is not good. I accidentally shot an entire kids dance studio session in crop mode and was so focused on everything else that i didnt think antthing of the tightness of the shots. Its a small studio. Got home and didnt realize it until I saw the resolution of the LR imports. I'm so bitter. An entire shoot at, what, 22px? Luckily I wasnt in crop mode on my Z6 lol
I might be missing its but I can figure out how to delete folders on my Z6 ? Are you able to help ?
Thank you for your tips! Update June 2024: With the Z9’s Firmware 5.0 the menu point changed to d22 Enjoy!
thank u SOOO MUCH,,the same exact thing happened to me where i hit the f2 button. thanks a million for the save with this video!
Thank you so much! Saw the video today for the first time. I was wondering if the Z6 had object tracking at all... lol
Will it accommodate a Z8, a Z 70-200 2.8 and a Z 24-70 2.8?
Thank you! 🔥
I set peaking highlight to 2 standard, and color to r. But I don’t see peaking hight in nikon z6 with nikon z 105mm macro lens, I am in M mode. Anything else needs to be set in order to get this red color peaking showing up in my screen?
With some metal probably yes… but like this it really looks like a toy :(
The process of doing this bracketing on my Z7ii and my Z50 with its firmware updates does not work in the same way as described in this video. You must select continuous release after setting the bracketing options and the camera takes as many images as you've selected and stops. It works fine, just not as described for current cameras or updates.
useful! Thanks!
This is interesting to me. I've been shooting mainly jpeg in Fujifilm for a number of reasons. Now I'm getting into shooting my dad's old Nikon D600 alongside my fuji and I want to shoot RAW and jpeg - but continue with my Fuji jpeg workflow for most purposes. The first thing that occurs to me wathching this is that - short of the real extreme like the dim inside of a cathedral vs. its stained glass windows, there's not much need for HDR. The dynamic range of cameras for a long time means that that information is all available in a single shot to create jpeg. So, apart from being a faff (especially with having to set up the wide exposure differences), you also have the danger of introducing ghosting presumably if you have any moving elements in the frame between the two images. So for me, D-lighting provides all the potential I need in the jpeg for it to act as a poor-man's RAW for editing on mobile, without the drawbacks of HDR. Except of course for those huge extremes of contrast I mentioned where HDR could provide you with a good working jpeg on the spot.
thank you👍
Best multiple exposure video I’ve found yet
You got it covered in 2 minutes, it took me a year after struggling to get my Z6 2 and Z7 2 to match my Leica M10 & M10R. The Leicas always did what I expect, perfect color, and they have minimal controls. I settled on 5400 k for landscape. The issue with Nikon is the photos have a distinct green cast and look saturated even with the neutral picture control. I learned to to adjust magenta to -1. Now raw looks acceptable, but still looks a little flat compared to M10 raw. Current lenses are used on both. So I adapted the Leica lenses to Nikon and they still have more "punch" than Z50 1.8. There is a pic control to fine tune contrast and clarity. Try +1 on both for z lenses only and now things match perfectly. Remains to be seen if the last two settings will carry over to Adobe Camera raw. I will make a preset if necessary.
Maybe it’s just me, but the first time I noticed any difference was the indoor, harsh light shots. And that was not even close to being enough to compensate going from LR to NX Studio.
Can you set up how long the preview image displays?
Thank you for this tutorial. I couldn’t find the Highlight Display feature.
I kind of have the same story. I actually got this camera when I was 13 years old. I learned alot on it, but at that time we didn't have youtube so I do know alot more know. Some girl friend, can't remember who told me to through it away because I should save junk, so I did. Wich I regret... But today I bought the same camera on net. In the 70s Japan made good stuff. I could buy any camera, but this modell is actually good looking with it's crome top and design. Guess I get it in the post next week.
Great video, question for you, where are the Banks stored? Another video on youtube, stated that its only stored in the SD card, so if you take the sd card, it looses the Banks? Is this true?
