    Great vid. I have the Z6 and the menus seem identical. I especially love the programming buttons on the front. On my Fn1 and Fn2 buttons, I programmed Fn1 to magnify 200% and the Fn2 to view previews. It is awesome how you can easily hit Fn2 to preview your last picture then hit Fn1 to magnify the preview or use Fn1 to magnify the item you are photographing with Fn1, all without moving your eye from the camera.

    5:37 - On page 77 in the manual (get the Z7Z6RM_(En)02.pdf manual from the Nikon USA site) the ISO can be set using the Command dial. However, to switch between Auto ISO and just normal ISO (where you set it) use the Sub-Command dial in front by your shutter finger.

  • @xscorcher
    @xscorcher Před 3 lety

    Hi Jared, I liked like your videos.
    In my humble opinion, Nikon suffer of a great lack of customisation options.
    For example:
    - Missing EasyISO (like the d750);
    - focus mode changed is more slow to control (see again d750;
    - pad and joystick have similar function (or same) and are not customizable;
    - with the (external) flash turned on, it's not possess to use the exposure preview;
    - etc.
    I checked last canon mirrorless customisation and noticed the incredible number of features.
    Maybe all of this is not needed by many, but there would be better for all to have the possibility to change and choose the perfect ergonomic of buttons and gears.
    Ergonomic is an essential feature for a camera, and the Z are not so good to me.
    On the field this can make the difference, and can avoid loosing important shoots (just imagine wedding and reportage photographers).
    I'm trying to spread the word, so Nikon engineers can ask the photographers what they really need next time.
    I would really like to have your opinions, as well as for the expertise in the matter, also because you use more types of cameras.
    Thanks in advance.
