I don't use Nikon Transfer. I use a Sony XQD card reader. To test, I copied from the Z6 via it's USB cable, then again with the card reader. My new PC is extremely fast on file transfers, with an ...

(I didn't have a peeling "before" picture on my thread, which would have been useful for this thread.) Not putty. Sugru. That was halfway through the repair process. It's interesting how it works ...

Those rubber cover images are from my " Repair a Z6 peeling rubber grip with Sugru " I got the Z6 in March 2019.  I haven't noticed any "peeling rubber" threads lately, but there were a lot of them ...

Snapbridge only updated the location periodically.  It would eventually get an updated location after I moved, but I never did figure out what method it used.  So it was not very accurate. (the ...

I have my Z6 set to complain that there's no card if I press the shutter.   That helps. But even better:  when I remove the card to put it in the card reader, I leave the card door open on the ...

I don't hear or notice any shutter lag on my Z6. It seems instantaneous. I use AF-S and the AF-On only. Shutter half press focusing is turned off. Here's a test of the Z6 at Imaging Resource See ...

I think I read that Win 10 doesn't need to click eject.  It doesn't postpone finishing any changes, like older Windows, which could leave the drive in an inconsistent state.  But I still usually ...

On a related topic, the Peak Design Slide Lite strap is great for hiking. I do the cross body sling carry, using the left strap d-ring and a connector on the bottom tripod plate. Check out the demo ...

On my Z6, the lens resets to near infinity when it's powered off and on. There's probably a few other settings that reset too. (I think the Z6II remembers the focus distance when powered off?) I ...

As aclo explained above, the EVF is usually set to turn on when your eye gets close. There's a small proximity sensor.  I always have the rear screen on, I never use the "EVF only" modes. The rear ...

I don't use object tracking or face detection very often. I'm most often using AF-S. But I have U3 set for object and face detection, and it works great. No OK button needed either! I use object ...

There's probably not much you can do. Pulling the rear screen out might help a little. This Lens Rentals blog post about heat in the Canon R5 is interesting.  It must be difficult to design cameras ...

I keep 100% zoom on the F2 button.   I use this all the time, even with autofocus lenses, where I can override the AF with the lens ring and target difficult subjects that are behind obstructions ...

14-30 I found that my 14-30 isn't easy to use for landscapes. A wide, distant vista is very small in the photo. But it does make a great 1-click "panorama" with cropping the top and bottom! Pro ...

70-300 Last year, I got the 70-300 VR ED Nikon, and used my FTZ with it. I like it, but I don't use it too often. When the Z 24-200 becomes available again, I'll likely switch to that. Then I can ...

DX mode on a Z6 will need careful, tighter framing. I'm guessing that's difficult with moving wildlife. It's workable with more static scenes. ~~~~ From another thread: Z6 in DX mode Image sizes on Z6:

Interesting.  EC changes can't affect the exposure in M with manual ISO (it can't change shutter, aperture, or ISO by definition).  instead, it just moves the exposure meter on the right side.  ...

I only looked at the Z6 and Z6 II jpgs. 100% crops of the jpgs. The Z6 had a shorter, darker exposure. You can see it in the darker gray wall. That difference complicates comparing the two. Z6: ...

I think the view in the camera EVF or rear screen is already cropped. This is still good advice for wide angle shots.  My DxO editing software can straighten architectural lines, but that usually ...

(I thought the newer Z6s didn't seem to have a peeling problem?) My Z6 was peeling at the bottom corner below the card cover, and at the base of the cover itself. And my fingernails did a little ...
