I am not sure that is the issue either - since the daughter's hair is sharp (and 1/640 should freeze her walking). If the AF is single point, the AF is simply not focusing on the eyes in this ...

Hello SIdewinderZ6. Thank you for posting. Like you I am just learning my way around a new Z6II and I think (auto?) focusing is the most challenging aspect of the camera. I have not yet done a ...

Hello Barleyman, When did you order? I placed an order with them on Jan 3 and have not received it yet (didn't think I would either). Best

Sorry, I can only help partially. I have the Tamron. After using the tap-in console (!) I think it is very good. Solid IQ, fast enough focussing, weather-sealed. A steal considering its price. The ...

Hello Dennis, On my Z6 II one of the possible customizations is to assign AE lock/hold until you push the button again. I assume the Z5 offers the same customization. I would look in the manual (I ...

Thank you PHXAZCRAIG . That is a beautiful shot. You describe very challenging exposure situations. One reason why I upgraded to the Z6II was the increased DR over the D7100 (that, and better low ...

Thank you. Your response does help because I am setting up the Z6II. I agree that matrix metering is very good. However, I like to shoot high contrast situations and regular matrix metering will ...

Thanks for your helpful response.

Protecting highlights is important to me. On my D7100 I use spot metering when necessary, review using blinking highlights and histograms, and often tend to slightly underexpose. Nikon's newer ...

Nikon has stated and demonstrated that it is committed to improving the Zs through firmware updates. It has continued improving older models even though new ones are already out, though with some ...

Thank you. I agree, and that is the important point. In my observation the camera does not immediately generate a message when turned on for the first time. You have to press the menu button. The ...

Thank you for posting your experience. If you don't mind, how exactly did it "prompt"you? In my experience (yesterday) there was no automatic message when first turning the camera on, but it ...

I just received a (new) Z6 ii yesterday. It did NOT come in a sealed bag. It did NOT have tape on the top screen but did have it on the rear screen. When I turned it on after charging the battery ...

Moreover, the AF systems of the Nikon DSLRs - great as they are for stills - 'hunt' to achieve focus in video, meaning they pass through the optimal focus point and move back to achieve the right ...

My suspicion is that there are probably some marketing considerations in the timing of releasing FW updates for the ZIIs, but that real hardware and resource limitations on Nikon's part are really ...

Agreed, AF is a big thing for action. Which is why Nikon should upgrade the ZIIs as soon as possible through firmware until they can bring out their successors with elements from the Z9 (Expeed ...

Thanks for sharing. Agreed on the positive impressions of the lens. You not having received your lens yet makes me think I will need to wait longer than I had hoped - having ordered only on ...

Since the OP and others seem to be in the same boat I will be happy to commiserate. It depends: IQ of Z5 is really close to Z6 (Ii) - just check DPREVIEW reviews. Definitely not worth $600 extra. ...

Ordered from B&H on November 11 - with no local store in sight (US). Still waiting and expecting to wait some more 😢😉

I have this kit (Z6 II body + FTZ) on (back)order from B&H since late November to go with the new Z 24-120 that I had already ordered. Will have to call B&H to see how they will handle this new ...
