Digital Shutterbug

No, in Auto, EFCS is only used up to 1/250 sec. At 1/320 sec., and faster, the mechanical shutter is used.

I have always appreciated larger cameras. The extra controls are also great for verticals. But, with limited availability, less money in retirement, and the fact that it won’t get me a single ...

Not if you don't have it.

I replaced my Z 24-70 f/4 with the 24-200. I actually bought a "like new" F mount 70-200 f/2.8 later. As Straz pointed out in his reply to you, the 24-200 lives on my Z7 II also. It's my goto lens ...

I answered the OP's question about ACR. Your solution to a question not asked was to use LR6. That program had already been discontinued by the time he asked about ACR. How is that a solution?

Since Matt hasn't posted in DPR forums in the past 32 months, I'm betting he has resolved the issue. :-)

The vignetting surprised me too. I didn't have time to chase it down. I was using a 67mm ExpoDisc on a 62mm step ring. I didn't think that would cause a problem. Obviously, it did. I repeated the ...

Here are my contributions. These with a Z7 II and 50 f/1.8S. They were shot thru an ExpoDisc. Mechanical shutter, SOOC JPGs. 1/4000 Sec. 1/8000 Sec.

Thanks. I *think* the shutter travels from top to bottom I can't think of how this might be related to your problem, but do wonder if there is a correlation. Maybe someone else here can say ...

Does the dark side of the frame line up with the top, or bottom, of the camera if it was held in landscape orientation?

Sweet deal. I would jump on that too. I’ve got the previous generation and can’t see stepping up to the Z lens for what it would cost. I think you’ll be very happy with your lens.

Without knowing a lot more about your camera settings, I can't offer a lot of help. But, I can say this is not the experience of tens of thousands of other users.

I apologize. I * assumed* you were talking about a paid shoot. If you are shooting a razor thin DOF that allows you to distinguish the difference between focus on the iris, and focus on the ...

I love my 200-500 on my Z7 II. It's probably my most used lens. However, I have not shot an airshow with the combination. Our airshows were canceled a number of years ago due to budget ...

That's a great little lens. As others have already pointed out, you'll probably want an aperture smaller than f/4 for the increased DOF. You'll need proper lighting. With good lighting, you'll ...

You're right about that. The TV is not the ideal tool. But, it does give you an extra way of experimentation when live subjects are not readily available. I've found it helpful until a better ...

It's a poor photographer that would use unfamiliar equipment on an important shoot. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but it's just the simple truth. Stick with the equipment you know until you become ...

I'm sorry. I don't have C1 and can't help you there.

I do the same thing. It's an easy way to experiment with the size the face/eyes need to be in the frame. Surprisingly, the two dimensional image isn't radically different than a real world 3D ...

This is a shift in Nikon's way of applying corrections in Z cameras vs. their DSLRs. Adobe has bought into the plan. Your solution is to switch to other editing software that does not apply ...
