I’m just getting back into photography and treated myself to the Nikon Z6. I was so intimidated I figured I would never be able to figure out this camera until I saw your training video. The video is phenomenal. I had so many ah-ha moments. You explained the camera features very simply and clearly. I am now a huge fan and plan to watch all your videos. Thank you so very much.

I have the Z7 but might exchange it at the dealer for the Z6 since I really don't need the high res file sizes, because I shoot studio with a D850 and was looking for a smaller walking around camera and event second camera instead of my D800. I love the Z7 but think the Z6 24mpx is optimum for my needs. I just wanted to write to say this is the best tutorial about the setup and function of the Z cameras and after using all these features for a few weeks in events, studio and casual shooting, there was nothing I would have changed in your description. It took me 2 weeks to learn what viewers could get from this video in 1:40:00. I would advise beginners or those transitioning from other brands to get the crash course if it is as well done as this video. You will save a lot of time, and unlearning bad habits. Good work Michael.

That’s a really great walkthrough. I’m impressed with the level of control Nikon gives you over the look of the image for both photo and video. I found when borrowing a friend’s D800 that I could “design” a B&W style in-camera that I liked and so after shooting I wasn’t messing around with a 1,000 different looks in the edit. So seeing this level of control-it’s not just the generic standard, vivid, landscape, etc.-it goes down into levels of sharpening by brightness, fine tuning contrast and saturation (within the setting you chose) and enough other subtle adjustments that “getting it right in-camera” appears to be a much more doable and enjoyable process. I was originally searching for a video that’d simply show me how the touchscreen operated before I got pulled into everything else, but wow, that touchscreen is really, really impressive. I was just shooting with the Sony a7III and its touchscreen is so limited and laggy that I pretty much disregarded it. It’s nice to see Nikon did such a good job with the touchscreen here, in addition to the excellent rear LCD (another weak spot with the Sony, though I do like that camera). Thanks for the video. If I pick up a Z6 your crash course looks like an excellent investment, and priced well also. 👍

Pro tip: When you connect Snapbridge to your camera the first time, choose the Bluetooth+wifi option (second choice). This way you can leave BT on and connect anytime and it will turn on wifi automatically when in app when it needs to. If i am worried about battery while shooting then i just go into Airplane mode (i put it on the i menu). So to be clear i leave BT on and just open Snapbridge when i need it and it just connects without me having to touch the camera and if it needs wifi for shooting, it will just turn wifi on in camera through the app.

I had the new Z6 for a couple of weeks and I'm having an annoying message that stops the camera. it said, " shutter release disable, recharge your battery" and this occurs also with a brand new fully charged battery. this happened while I was recording a video, reviewing photos or playing a video on the camera. to fix it, I had to shut off the camera and remove the battery. This clears the problem, but it happens too frequently that I'm thinking is a malfunction, shud I send the camera to the warranty?

To clear up what I believe is a bit of a misrepresentation, lossless compressed doesn't throw away anything hence the name lossless it's just compressed using a lossless algorithm. In a nutshell if you have a truly lossless compression format then the difference between a lossless compressed and an uncompressed file is absolutely zero once the lossless compressed file is uncompressed. A lossy compressed file on the other hand will drop off some details in an effort to create a smaller file.

@jeffhansman2829
5 жыл бұрын
No, the ML-L3 does not work with the Z bodies. You must use either the clunky two-piece setup Nikon sells or the even clunkier Snapbridge app to remotely control your Z6. I wish it were otherwise, but alas. Personally, I use "Delayed Exposure" in the Shooting menu as the first item in My Menu, and assign that menu to my Movie record button. It's a workaround, but there it is. Not adding an infrared remote to the Z bodies was, IMO, a really dumb move on Nikon's part. I used it all the time with my D7000.

Hello Michael, Need some guidance,. Assuming the same subject, is there a difference in how one handles a Z6 vs Z7, as it got more MP, does the user need to use higher shutter speeds to minimize shake, as the higher MP will capture the slightest blurr and magnify it? I am deciding which one to get, currently I use a D800 (36MP), and feel Z6 is a step down just from MP point of view, as I pixel peep. Not a video person, and only use camera on holiday landscape and cityscape. Thank you
