**This week with your Z camera, Dec 14-20, 2024**

[JEO126]

Thank you Arnaud!

All images Z8 or Z6ii. I used all Nikon Z camera bodies and Nikkor Z lenses for the still images and video.

Classical music lover and audiophile here (one of many reasons I am not into highest end Nikons). The soloist was outstanding in this video and well captured, soundwise. However, I thought the overall orchestral sound a bit tubby. (I listened to the video with original Grado SR 150 headphones plugged into my laptop.) What kind of mic did you use and where in the auditorium did you sit and operate the camera?

The Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso by Saint Saens was my mother's favorite violin showpiece and her favorite recording of it was a mono recording done in the 1950's by the greatest violinist to come out of San Francisco, Isaac Stern.

Quibbles about the orchestral sound aside, I am blown away that you can do this kind of video with a Nikon camera. Please do some more!

This series shows the 12-28 DX Z lens to be quite capable!

Made a holiday card featuring the four legged member of the family. Z6III with the 50mm F1.8. Pulled this from my social media post, so it didn't have EXIF data.

Nice subject isolation!

My nephew got married last month (23 Nov). The pic was taken the night before as the crew from the old neighborhood got together. We were all sitting around the table thinking and talking. ; The more we thought and talked the better we got - at everything.

I really like how the Z9 and 851.8 work together.

Thanks. It shouldn't be news that Nikon Z cameras can capture great video. ;-)

That orchestra is a youth orchestra whose members are mostly high school students from the south San Francisco Bay Area; I suppose a few younger ones are in junior high. The soloist is one of the two co-concertmasters for that orchestra, and that is why she knows everybody in the orchestra very well.

The venue was the California Theatre in San Jose, CA. It has a balcony, but I set up in the very back downstairs. I had three Z bodies to capture the wide, mid, and close up view on the soloist. I had a pair or Rode NT5 microphones in the back, next to the cameras, to capture the overall sound. The conductor prefers that set up as it doesn't reveal the flaws in the orchestra as much (since it is a youth orchestra, not a pro one). Another pair of microphones were Neumann KM 184 connected to a new Tascam FR-AV2 recorder, right behind the conductor podium to capture the sound from the soloist. It was the first time I used that the Neumann, and I am happy with the results.


Neumann mics for the violin soloist

I am now the official, volunteer video person for that orchestra. I record them several times a year and have plenty of videos on my YouTube channel. I also have a second video from that same performance, but I only included the wide view from a Z6iii. The audio is the same as the first video.



This entire video was captured with a Z6iii, plus external microphones and recorders.
