  • Nikon Zf is not only aesthetically pleasing retro slyle camera, but more importantly, this camera is packed with latest technology that shares its power from professional cameras such as Nikon Z8 and Nikon Z9. So, don't let the look deceive you. In this video, I share 5 secrets of the Nikon Zf camera that are not obvious to the first time users.

    What are some hidden Zf camera features that are not obvious?

    • @heartflame503
      @heartflame503 Před 8 měsíci +1

      I know it simple but it Took me a while to find the in camera picture processing contrls ! eg "Rich Tone portrait" . Re:soft shutter accessory, I got one with a brown top/black rim to match my Sepia Zf body. Its a cool and pretty thingi.. but I really got it to stop any fluff/dirt from accumulating in that hole !!

    I‘m a bit weird and read the manual. But your video still was very helpful, thanks.
    One thing I miss from the Zf is a working Auto ISO setting button. On the Zfc, I reprogrammed the red video button during photo mode to be the standard Nikon ISO button, with the front wheel AutoISO on/off (and the back wheel base ISO). The same can be done on the Zf, but there an ISO button only works when the ISO dial is set to C. Stupidly moving the ISO dial away from C just locks the AutoISO to the current setting - I would understand, if it just switched to AutoISO off+dialISO, but not this useless lock.

    • @TouchLifeStudio
      @TouchLifeStudio  Před 8 měsíci +2

      I noticed that too. I’m not a fan of that. I did the exact same thing, by setting the record button to act as an ISO button. I think the issues with locking the auto ISO when in C mode and switching the dial to any base ISO is a firmware issue and can be fixed. We should be able to switch to any base ISO on the dial and that would override any auto ISO that was previously set when under C mode. I’m not a software engineer but I believe that can be done.

    What is th point of the soft release button? Is it just for looks/style, or does it have some useful purpose?

    • @TouchLifeStudio
      @TouchLifeStudio  Před 4 měsíci +1

      I found that a soft release button provides with a different tactile experience (not saying better, just different) and yes, there is this also aesthetics element to it.

  • @jsprite123

    Bracketing and Intervalometer functions required separate equipment years ago. Then they were incorporated as optional "backs" in film cameras. Now they are part of the camera's standard functionality. I predict the same will happen with Pixel Shift.

    Who needs a soft shutter button? Where is the cable release thread I thought that would be there? And what about auto-ISO in photo mode? How long is Nikon in the photography business????

    • @TouchLifeStudio
      @TouchLifeStudio  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Auto ISO in photo mode is there. Just set your camera to C mode on the ISO dial and now you can change ISO to Auto. Hope this helps.

    • @easyki
      @easyki Před 8 měsíci +1

      @@TouchLifeStudio it should be like that, but unfortunately it is not: first of all you have to asign a function button to ISO (I chose the movie-record button) , then if you are in C-mode and you pusch the function button, you can use your front dial rot changing the ISO number and your back dial to switch from normal to auto. When you are in auto-iso and you turn your main ISO button, the machine stays in auto, whatever number you choose... So have to go back to C-mode press the function button and leave auto-iso with the front dial... That's rideculous in my opinion.

    • @TouchLifeStudio
      @TouchLifeStudio  Před 8 měsíci +1

      @@easyki yes, I agree with that. They should fix that with a FW update. Base ISO should override any auto ISO, without having to go back to C-mode to change it.
