Thank you, Steve, I appreciate the hard work you‘re putting into these videos.
Super helpful videos! Thanks Steve!
Thanks Steve,great set of videos you make things seem so simple can’t wait till the next one cheers
“I’m a simple guy”. Wrong. You are the expert.
So great - thanks again :-)
Thank you, Steve! You, sir, are a master.
I have a z5 and use af-s pinpoint all the time for wildlife because the focus is more accurate and I can get the pinpoint box right on the eye. If use af-c a lot too depending on the situation but for still or slow moving subjects the af-c likes to bounce around a lot. My z6III arrives today but I'm debating returning it for the Z8.
The Z6iii is a fantastic little camera for the price and for what it is, but it's no Z8. Just this morning I was out with the Z6iii and ran into a couple of situations where the Z8 was a better fit. The first was a distant owl that I will have to crop a bit to make work and the second was some fast-paced action with swallows - I could have used both a little more resolution and a little better AF on those.
@@backcountrygallery good info and thanks for reply!
Thanks- great work. FWIW my camera does not have 14a.
You're most welcome - 14a isn't there if you don't have a z mount lens with a focus ring attached.
Thanks, really appreciate your work. Correct, had the 24-200 on for set up. As a Z9 owner, happy that AF and ergonomics of Mk 3 is similar to Z9 and much more functional than Mk1.
Steve, I just picked up my Z6-3 and I noticed that in Manual Mode the shutter speed is in single digits not like in normal increments 30s, 40s, etc. Have you figured out how to change? Thanks
Check the Photo Shooting Menu high speed flicker reduction option and see if that's on - it's give you singe increment shutter speeds if it is. Turn it off (although, it should be off by default)
@@backcountrygallery Steve You are THE BEST! Thats it!. When I was setting the camera i put the check mark , I thought that had to do something to the viewfinder!. Thanks a lot
Steve , any reason why my Z6iii and I know of at least one other that do not have the a14 option present in the custom focus menu? Is your Z6iii a pre production model ?
As mentioned in the video (I think I mentioned it anyway LOL), you only see that option if you have a compatible lens. Usually that translates to a Z series lens (It must be a Z series, no adapted glass) with a dedicated focus ring (something like the 180-600 for instance that just has a control ring won't cut it). Also, some lenses may require a firmware update to see it, but again, if there's no dedicated focus ring, no luck.
@@backcountrygallery Thank you for the quick reply. Strange because I had the Nikkor Z 24-70 f4 on the camera when watching your video and it has a focus ring.
Looking at a photo of it (mine's at home) the 24-70 F/4 has a control ring it uses for focus, but I don't see a dedicated focus ring.
