When on camera I always use in TTL because either I'm moving or the subject is moving or both. If I need to adjust FEC I do it on the flash. It's just my personal preference and I don't think there ...

In general you want to shoot in M mode so you can control the ambient. That means you want to adjust flash output for your subject on your flash or trigger when shooting OCF.

I get it. Solving a mystery can be fun and I'm curious too. I only shoot in M mode, so I tried A and P , auto ISO, af-s and different area modes, 24-70 f4 in my basement mixed light and focusing ...

I haven't read this thread for some time and can't believe it's still going on. I'm not disregarding anyone's difficulty with focusing, but AF on my z5 works well in all af-s and af-c modes. No ...

Good to hear that 👍 I wonder why you needed to install unsigned drivers. It worked fine on my win10. Either way, glad you figured it out.

Hmm, I use win10 and the update for 860ii went through

I'm sorry to hear that. I remember getting an error and changed a couple of cables too. Then I noticed that the cable connection in the flash was little loose. I pushed the cable towards one side, ...

That's a good point 👍

I felt the same way with my 105mm f1.4. I have much higher keeper rate now on Z6ii than I had on my d750. Eye AF and IBIS unleashed the full potential of the lens.

The noise from the moving appertures is very quiet. Nothing to compare to the shutter sound. I just tried different lenses and the result is that the native z lenses stay silent no matter what ...

Thanks for the link. If the page was translated correctly it says the 24mm will start selling on Jan 25. If decent the 24mm and 35mm should be good budget options.

I replicated your settings and mine z6ii is absolutely silent in af-c L and H+. Does it behave the same with other lenses as well? If yes, I think some other weird setting in the menu must be ...

I just tried 1/2 sec and iso 40000 and no sound in silent mode at all. The more the aperture is closed eg f16, the more  noise it makes, but that's not shutter sound. Not sure what's happening with ...

Do you mean electronic first courtain shutter makes sound? That's normal. Silent shutter should be always silent.

Link for the announcement?

Good news. I just updated the new firmware for TT685n and it fixed the issue with TTL.

Godox released v3.3 firmware for TT685n today. That's the only new one I can see at the moment. I'll try it later. Hopefully that's the fix for the TTL issue with z6ii. Good to know they have been ...

I have done direct comparison of z5 and d750 files at high ISOs and couldn't tell a difference.

Honestly the only person who can give you the correct answer is you. You know what you need and what your priorities are. Will you benefit from the unique mirrorless features? Then go mirrorless. ...

Most likely firmware issue. It's been discussed for Godox in some threads lately.
