After further review, there are settings in Auto mode that, in fact, are "sticky," such as AF-Area mode. So whatever this setting is in Auto, switching away, and then back leaves it unchanged. If ...

I will agree that FW 1.20 is a big improvement, at least with eye-detection. I was highly critical of the previous release for completely missing an eye, and even indicating that one eye was being ...

Same behavior on my Z6 II with FW 1.20. But, note that other settings get set back to default, Focus Mode for example. The question is whether this is deliberate since Auto means the camera decides ...

Ricci's videos on the Z 6II/Z 7II are appreciated. However, the question is whether the indicated yellow focus boxes actually match the red focus points in the images. I wish Ricci would show them. ...

Thank for the suggestion. I did use Capture NX-D on the image, and it does show the Focus Point on the right eye. I have no idea why the predicted (yellow box) focus point would instantaneously ...

This is an eye-detect focusing issue that has been around since the advent of the Z6 II, maybe even in the Z6 (I just don't recall) and remains with 1.10. The behavior is that, during composition ...

I'm going to agree, if only because there's so little of the pupil/iris to "find" at the low resolution (because of the tight cropping) of that part of the image. So, the algorithm seems to be ...

If you look closely, you can see the individua pixels, so the camera "ran out" of resolution. It's in as much focus as it could be for the Z6 ii's sensor.

I have a lot of complaints about Z6 II eye focusing including with the new firmware. But, I don't think an "old" FX lens is necessarily less able to eye-focus than a Z lens. Here's a sample, at ...

I do put identifiable pictures of my grandchildren on the internet, hence the cropping. Cropped or not, the eye is clearly out-of-focus, the placemat in-focus. That’s a pretty big miss.

This is correct. When I did get the replacement, I did a few quick shots and all were fine. Yesterday, I shot more than a few pics, and, while most were fine, some were not. So, yesterday’s shots ...

Here's the worst eye detect fail of the Z6 II with firmware 1.10 In the image, the red box indicates what the camera says is the focus point. I do not have an Atmos recorder, so the red box is ...

28-70 F4 Z kit lens 85mm F1.8 FX on the FTZ adapter

I just took pictures of the same grandkids, in the same location, with the same lenses as with the prior firmware. Verdict: No improvement whatsoever. Very, very disappointing. I'll post a sample ...

In my experience with the Z6 II with, now, the previous firmware, is that often the camera “claims” it is focusing on an eye (i.e., the small yellow box is present) but then completely misses the ...

Update: Had a grandchild over today and grabbed the new Z6 II + 24-70 kit lens to see if anything had changed regarding eye focusing. I'm happy, and somewhat surprised, to say that the new copy ...

I won't be sure until I can try the new camera body on the original subjects--young grandchildren--and the kit lens.

I received the replacement Z6 II yesterday and gave it a test tonight. The new body must have been very recently made since it already had firmware 1.02 installed. Preliminary conclusion: Although ...

In fact, I have several examples in which the indicated eye (yellow box) was not even close to being in focus, with nothing in front of that eye.

Of interest is the latest DPReview video on the Z7 II, which notes that the eye focusing algorithm now focuses on the pupil, rather than eyelashes, as in the Z 7. Assuming the Z6 II has the same ...
