  • The new firmware 4.10 for the Nikon Z9 tested with a Nikon 180-600 mm lens. In addition, I show which settings I have when filming. From what I have seen, there is a marked difference for the better when the birds are flying against a clean background, even if it is from a distance. Overall, it's a huge improvement!
    Much pleasure!

    Those bird calls at the beginning of your video sound very much like red shouldered hawks. As usual, your images are outstanding, and your insight with your equipment is great.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts and overall video settings, as I have almost never captured any video footage with both my Z9 it was good to see what settings you prefer, once again, very informative and of course very useful. Thank You.

    Hi Göran, such fantastic images that you produce, both film and photos! After a number of years without a camera I now have one again. May I ask a technical question if it's ok and only if you want to share the answer. White balance… in the past with film cameras you didn't have to think about it :) So in post-processing with photos, do you (in daylight) always use the 5000K you mention, auto white balance from the camera or set it with the editing program? And are you using Nikon's or Adobe's (if you use Lightroom) profiles?

    • @Halmstadfoto
      @Halmstadfoto  Před 9 měsíci

      Hi Lars-Ove and thank you very much for your very kind comment, I really appreciate it.
      When I photograph, I always use manual mode with the camera (Z9) and autoiso and auto white balance. I pretty much only adjust the aperture but mostly the shutter speed. Post-processing takes place in Photoshop.
      Filming, if there are longer sequences and different lights that require the same white balance, I set the white balance to 5000, but most of the time I run auto on the white balance as there are short non-contiguous clips. I edit the white balance and other things in Premiere Pro.
      Hope that answers your questions, otherwise feel free to ask more.
      Thank you very much for your nice compliment.
      Hej Lars-Ove och stort tack för din väldigt vänliga kommentar, jag uppskattar den verkligen.
      När jag fotograferar så kör jag alltid manuellt läge med kameran (Z9) och autoiso samt auto vitbalans. Jag justerar i stort sett bara bländare men mest slutartiden. Efterbehandling sker i Photoshop.
      Filmning, om det är längre sekvenser och olika ljus som kräver samma vitbalans så sätter jag vitbalansen till 5000 men för det mesta kör jag auto på vitbalansen då det är korta icke sammanhängande klipp. Jag redigerar vitbalansen och övrigt i Premiare Pro.
      Hoppas det är svar på dina frågor annars är du välkommen att fråga mer.
      Stort tack för din fina komplimang.
      MVH
      Göran J

    Do you think it still makes sense to get a Z6ii today or better to seek something else like Canon R6ii, Canon R7, Sony A7iv etc? How poor is the autofocus on the Z6ii really?

    • @Halmstadfoto
      @Halmstadfoto  Před 6 měsíci

      Hi, if you already have Nikon gear I would wait for the Z6III. But if you don't have equipment, I believe in Sony mostly in the future depending on their financial situation. In response, the Z6II is not very good at autofocus. Good luck

    You say that you are using High Quality (N-RAW) - does that matter when you are not filming in N-RAW?

    • @Halmstadfoto
      @Halmstadfoto  Před 9 měsíci +1

      You are absolutely right but I have it on high because I sometimes shoot N-raw 8K 60fps.

    Has anybody noticed that the Z8 and Z9 were more or less identical but since then Nikon has introduced 2 firmware updates for the Z9 not for the Z8. Is this a cheap way of creating some distance between the 2?

    • @Halmstadfoto
      @Halmstadfoto  Před 9 měsíci

      I've noted it but I assume it will be on the Z8 soon. In the beginning, the Z8 had airplanes which were not on the Z9. Then I think they prioritize the Z9 because it's the flagship but that it also comes on the Z8 soon.

      Looks to me the development of the firmware is not cheap, expensive software engineers created the firmware, Nikon just give to its fanbase for free as a value added service.

      Ok, that I did’nt know. Strange! Maybee for valuate the software.

      I'm sorry you feel that way, but many people have asked what kind of beautiful music it is.

    • @StillAliveAndKicking_

      @@Halmstadfoto Unfortunately not everyone has the same taste in music, and I have fairly catholic tastes such as folk, classical, blues, classic rock, metal, noise, ambient, grunge, bluegrass, electronic etc. Shame, the video sounded interesting.
