how to check exposure meter during video mode.

Thanks!

Great review, FYI, for the Pre-Release Capture options, the Post Release burst setting is not the amount of time it continues to shoot after releasing the shutter, it is the length of the burst recorded while the shutter release button is pressed all the way down.

Thank you very much, extremely helpful

Thank you so much Hudson for all your videos and time you take to help everyone out. I have a z6ii and a zf, this is going to be my first attempt in a few weeks at Milky Way photography (not the best lighting area - but need to start somewhere). I am so use to the exposure delay mode with the z6ii, but want to try the star light view on zf. Would I absolutely need the bluetooth remote or even snap bridge app, or can I use self-timer to pull this off so I don't shake the camera on the tripod? I just hate having extra remotes around if not needed.

I can't change the MTU to 9000 for some reason.

I would like to keep my 85 1.4G and 70-200 VRII, because they work perfectly with my Nikon F100. Would they be as fast or with at least negligible speed downgrade comparing to Z lenses when mounted on Z6iii? Thanks!

I came up with slightly different approach: I set the secondarry slot to keep jpeg replicas of the raw files and protect all the ones i want to keep and delete the unprotected at the end. In this way you have a copy of all the photos you took and have the jpeg images of the selected ones. In your final review if you feel that is needed you can go to individual raw for further processing if needed.

Thanks Hudson, excellent as usual

Many Thanks for your video. I shoot mainly sunset landscpes + family events (kids…) and no video at all. Do you recomend Z6iii or Z7ii (for allmost the same budget and weight category)? I come from Z6.

Hi Henry, thank you for your excellent videos on Z8. I am a long time Sony user and now switching to Z8. One thing that I love Sony is the ability to store a lot of settings in one bank. Settings including priority mode, shutter speed or aperture or both depending on the mode, iso (or auto), fps, AF mode / area, display, jpeg/raw, the list goes on and on (pretty much every settings are saved to a particular bank with the exception of network). And I can also assign a button to activate the bank (custom hold) or use the mode dial to change to it. Is it possible with Z8?

I have just bought a used Z7 as a travel camera, I didn't fancy getting my Z8 robbed in one of our City visits in Europe and to have a lighter carry. Setup and user tips only one place to go Hudson! There a great little new channel to look at Hudson in the UK "Russ and Loz", two Nikon pro photographers who discuss Nikon matters like two mates down the pub. Easy listening and not long vlogs recommended mate they will make you smile. They too have been ignored by Nikon 🙂 Another great tute Hudson!

Hudson, greatly appreciate all you work and time in making the Z6iii a more user friendly camera. I'm excited to start to use this amazing camera ( my 8th Nikon). Look forward to your next video. You are the best.

Hudson, I just finished setting up the four shooting menu banks in the Z8 per your settings and have been practicing jumping back and forth between banks. One thing I noticed is that the camera appears to maintain whatever release mode you happen do be in when going from one bank to another. Is there a way to get the camera to go to your preferred release modes automatically when jumping between banks? Thanks.

So very helpful. Thanks

Thank you Hudson. As alway terrific help. So far the z6iii is a great companion to Z9 and a major improvement to original Z6. Perfect knock around camera- glad I was patient.

Thank you for this very much. I have a question - it seems the airplane mode should be "on" if you want to save power - correct? Just like on our phones?

One more question...I'm loving my Zf but there are times when I might like to go lighter or even have a backup body. What do you think of the Z fc for this type of role?

Excellent set of videos and incredibly useful detailed information. Thank you so much.

How to shoot N-log internally on z6iii?

To say that any camera that has a tilt screen is “fragile” is ridiculous. I absolutely hate the flippy screen. You fall into the trap of assuming that everyone in the world is like you and agrees with you. In your scenario of “banging it into a rock”, it is likely that you wouldn’t have your beloved flippy screen turned inward anyway, since you’re actively shooting, and it would break the screen as well.

Thank you so much! I had sorted out most settings but your video alerted me to several other key points that were good to know and adjust.

Thank you Do you every use the Aperture or Shutter priority modes?

Hi Henry, I'm new here and appreciate your full coverage. I would love your opinion. I no longer shoot full-time but have the budget for something new. I shoot events, street and some wildlife. I've been using a Fuji X-H2S and picked up some new lenses for events and wildlife. It's ok but my struggle is low light for some of the events I shoot. I'm a stickler for clean images too. So, I picked up the Zf and love it! I've only had one opportunity to use it for events and it performed much better than my X-H2S in terms of lower light. The rest of the factors were all the same. I figured I'd keep using it for street, a back up for events (though not ideal to have two different systems at an event) and for low light situations.Then suddenly, here comes the Z6III which I didn't believe was coming. Specs-wise, it's almost on par with the X-H2S. I could buy it and use my Zf as a back up but would be faced with buying a new zoom for events and something for birding/wildlife. Also, I'm concerned about weight. I struggle with wrist and hand tendinitis from too many years of shooting and computer work. Any initial thoughts? I'd appreciate your input!

Hudson -- I would like to max out the storage. if I add another 4 tera bytes will windows see it as one drive or will it be partitioned?

You called out the speed of the Z6III. At this point, 5+ years into the Z line, what's the closest Z replacement for the D500?

I work for a recycling company my guys know I do photography so far I have gotten 2 tripods from them a SIRUI T-005KX 6 pound capacity backing tripod and Geekoto AT24 Pro Dreamer a 17 pound capacity tripod The Geekoto was brand new with the orgional tripod bag. I recently purchased a SIRUI AT125 Carbon Fiber tripod with a 22 pound capacity travel tripod. My camera with my 150 -450 lens weighs 8 pounds with camera and lens. I figure using my Sirui and maybe my Geekoto with my gimble head

I'm with you when it comes to being able to flip the back screen. I had it on a Pentax and have really missed it when I went to Nikon.

Shame it doesn’t record video to both SD cards… would have been a perfect camera

I pre-ordered and bought two Nikon Zfs late last year. I came across this excellent video in November and found it to be really helpful. Now, in July 2024 I find myself coming back to it time after time just to refresh my knowledge and to rediscover where specific settings are. Great video Hudson Henry, thanks.

Amazing. Thank you so much. You’ve put this video out there about the Z6iii and you didn’t “pop my bubble” about the camera. In other words you were simple, honest, without being harsh and making me feel like I made a wrong move on buying the Z6iii. In fact, I feel a little better about trading my Zf for the Z6iii. Now, I want to ask. Would you shoot landscape with this camera? If you were not a professional, looking for good picture quality, and was on a budget, would you utilize this camera for landscape, besides using it for Astro and Wildlife. Thats me; I wanted an all around camera (I’m not big on video), but I do landscapes; nature (wildlife), and some street and astro. But my budget couldn’t get a 45 mpx camera (and mainly I hear the files are so big w/ a 45 mp camera, so I didn’t want to upgrade computers and such)

Thank you very much Hudson. As I mentioned in a comment on your initial Z6III first look, I was waiting for your fuller assessment before making my decision. Having now watched this presentation I have placed an order for a Z6III. Now I will watch your setup presentations. Keep up the excellent work that you do for all of us photographers, whether amateur or professional. Content like yours is invaluable when deciding how to spend what can be large sums of money and wanting to make the right decision.

Hello Dear Henry; I thank you for your detailed explanations for Z8. I would like to ask a question. Is it possible to see the photo on the LCD screen after we took it? I mean we have to set monitor only to see the photo automatically after we took. Or we can see only press the playback button. Any idea?

Thanks for the Review, I am currently with a z6ii and a z7 but want to sell them both for a z6iii or a z8, cant decide which one i want. I do a ton of backpacking so the lighter camera is intriguing. Not sure if 24 MP is enough but i shot with the d750 for 5 years and was fine.

Hudson will you make a comparison video of Z 6iii vs ZF?

Super valuable video. Thanks for taking the time to make this!

Great run through....thank you!

Thanks. I will definitely be getting one. Been waiting to upgrade from my entry level DSLR for some time 😄 Do you still have the Z6II? I'd be interested to see how it compares in low light performance.

It's such a great camera now they got the mix right and massive improvement over older Z6II. I think it is a great video stills back up, to the BSI D850 45MP with superior high dynamic range for stills thats even better than Z8 Z9 and you can use all your F mounts lenses on the Z6III with FTZ . But there is a couple of elephants in the room that have not been fixed , 1 it so expensive to buy outside the USA now. Just convert the $2500 USD into other currency and you will see what I'm talking about into currencies from UK. Europe, Australia , New Zealand , Asia Pacific. It's become too expensive now . Most buyers from these regions outside USA will be usual ,NPS people or people with U Tube channels who can claim as a business expense. It's going to be difficult for everyday regular hobby enthusiast's to stump up the money for this powerful Z6III until NIKON can reset price outside USA for foreign currencies and it becomes a more even playing field. 2, NIKON already control their pricing by not offering global warranties. So if you buy a Nikon camera in a NIKON at authorised store in USA, you take it to Australia on a holiday and it fails or something breaks you can not get it repaired in an Australian authorised NIKON repair service centre. Only with the exception only if you are a NPS registered customer and even this may not apply to every NPS person it will depend on who you are . NIKON do this because of the currency differences and price fluctuations in different countries. So at the end of the day NIKON have bench marked and set the price off the strong USD and not their own weak YEN. For example, they don't want an American hobby person who is not registered as a NPS Nikon pro going to Japan or other countries where you sometimes are able to be buying cheaper. Then returning to USA, something breaks. Go and to try to get it fixed under a Nikon warranty in USA , NIKON won't fix it unless you are NPS registered and discretion will be applied to you . This stops people for shopping around world for the best price and protects pricing in each global Nikon market place. These cameras have become so expensive now just like expensive Swiss watches , NIKON should do the right thing and be offering global warranties regardless where you buy and for everybody not just NPS people .

Thanks for this! 🍁

How's the AF compared to the ZF?

Hudson, thank you so much for these tutorials. They've been an extremely valuable resource for setting up the Z8 and learning about its capabilities. You've made my introduction to this camera fast and easy (I'm a former D500 user)!

Thanks Hudson for this well presented review! 👏 I've been using a Z6 for 3 years - the main issue I've had all along is that the autofocus is not consistent and reliable. The body fits my hand very well...and the weight is perfect. Like really perfect. ;) Z8 and Z9 are too big and heavy for me...and that is before you add extra lens weight. Is this Z6iii body the same size and weight as Z6? And does it have the same feel? I know the Z6iii has an additional card slot so I'm thinking it may be bigger/heavier but that is just conjecture 😜so I would love your (or other folks) feedback on the body. Thanks!!!

I’m pretty sure the dual gain for the second native iso is 6400, not 800. Seen it numerous times on 6400 from reviewers and my testing.

Great Video , I Watched The Whole Thing :)

Nikon could easily provide a firmware update to allow us to choose U1, U2, U3 etc from the mode dial button so it acts like all other cameras. I really hope they consider it b/c the bank settings are absolutely terrible and not user friendly.

I was a D600 shooter since 2012 and got a Z5 in 2021. Love the Nikon mirrorless system (also with F-Mount lenses on FTZ). The Z6 III is a great addition to the Nikon lineup. If i had the money i would buy it but the Z5 serves me well as i don't do much action shooting. Love this body size.

How do you think about this vs. the Z8 as a hiker? Mix of wildlife, landscape, and outdoor portraits. Does the weight difference feel meaningful? (if price and video doesn't matter)

Hi. I’ve watched many of your videos and really appreciate them. Have you done a segment on your favorite Z lenses for the Zf? Thanks.
