This is a superb video because it explains not just what the camera functions are, but when and why you you would use each of the several modes. By the time Ricci gets to the sample pictures, the viewer is silently making his or her own choices. This means that the viewer understands -- the key -- understands what the camera can, and will, do in various situations, and which mode can best take advantage of that. In most such explanations, the presenter just drops a lot of information, without any attempt to have the viewer understand. This is different -- to my very substantial benefit.

You explain it better than anyone else on KZitem. For me the key point you make is that knowing how your camera works, it's strengths and weaknesses, what it is trying to do, is more important than which camera system you have. It is not the person or the technology it is the interface between the two that we should all be concentrating on.

This is the best video on the Z series autofocus which includes firmware 3.0 I have found. It over one hour but well worth going thru it all. There is an excellent structure to it. The only minor point I was not clear on is why you would choice with wide area small or large over dynamic? I could not think of a situation where there was a clear advantage over dynamic. Furthermore, you can deselect these so that you can switch faster between the others. Overall an excellent video and a must watch for everyone who gets a Z series camera. Thanks for all the effort.
