I had d700 for years shooting paid gigs and even though great camera at that time it can't match modern mirrorless. I remember the loud slap of the mirror sound when shooting weddings, concerts etc. ...

I'm glad this solved the issue. I prefer a clear image in the evf any day over saving a little bit of battery juice.

I can think of two things. First one is quite obvious. 1. Diopter adjustment - my eyesight is actually very good and I never needed an adjustment on any DSLR, but I was surprised to find out that I ...

I've been using a pair of BM batteries for about 3 months now and so far they work well with my z6ii. Can't tell a difference from originals

I use z6ii as my main and z5 as my second body. I did a shoot last weekend using both interchangeably and they both worked great. Files looked really good from both. Yes, z6ii is a better camera ...

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?
