Had the original Nik software years ago, it has always been a great package, gone through a few different companies. Obviously the program is being constantly upgraded now its in the DXO stable. Another one I love is the neutral density filter!

Hold up - I can't use a USB-C to HDMI cable? I actually need a media mod, or this camera is useless?

Not sure if you find a answer to this. To share some of my comment on this for you and those who might have same question, though it is a two years old video already. It could be blocked by AF signal & image processing, (used to be called “dark time”), even though you switch to manual focus. Different camera would have different dark time. On my Z7, Zfc, D5300, it is about 1.5 secs. On my Z800, it is about 2-3 secs. If you use live view to reduce flicker, it will be more longer. Another 2-3 secs must be added. For example, you set 10 seconds of interval, and set exposure to 8 seconds, there will be 2 seconds for camera to process/save image, display review, send AF signal, next shutter release signal. For some camera, it is too short to do that. So as you said, the camera is not able to register new camera setting during those 2 seconds. More worst, it would skip next image. Solution is to do some hack on shutter release cable. Solder AF & Shuter release signal wires together. In my experience, the interval could be reduced to 0.5 seconds with such modified cable. For more information, you can check out “lrtimelapse pro timer”. There is even a free diy model. Lots of more detail information on Gunther’s web pages. Hope this helps.

Solution: You dont need to change the exposure manually in preview in between of the exposures. Instead run your timelapse in "P" Mode. Here the camera changes the exposure time automatically depending on conditions. (Set up ISO to automatic Mode).

Good info, thanks

would you be able to tell me how you have it mounted to use it as a streaming camera ?

Hi, I have a question: What would be the best value for money webcam solution you can get for around $300 max right now? Would it be the GoPro Hero8 and use it over HDMI with a HDMI usb capture stick? Or are there better solutions which give better quality?

This has been an issue forever and gopro still won't do a simple update to make it so we don't have to do this every time it is connected. The gopro 7 doesn't have this annoying feature. I find I have to crop it out in OBS to prevent using the mode button every time. When using a switcher, the HDMI disconnects every time you switch and then the osd returns. I have 3 gopro 8 and I still can't find anything positive to say about them.

Great post Adam. Very helpful, especially around how to get clean HDMI. I’m still struggling to get good quality to my Mac (M1 Apple silicon). I’m trying to use it strictly as a webcam, and not for live streaming. Did you install the Elgato Game Capture software on your Mac? I have seen some users comment that it ‘helps’ with overall quality. Your GoPro quality looks amazing in your video. I don’t seem to be dropping frames. It’s just that the overall video quality is poor regardless of whether I set the GoPro to 4K or 1080.

you are off the topic

It's the same in Canon R5/R6 and it's documented in the user manual. The camera is blocked for 2 sec for exposure changes. I guess it's a "feature" in mirrorless cameras :) Unfortunately I don't remember how it was in Sony A7III. As You said, the workaround is to use external timer.

Thank you so much for this. Was recently gifted one of these and am trying to get the feed into OBS to no avail. I have a few simple questions about some specifics and hardware I'd like ask you if you're available. =)

Thanks for this man. We had been having the struggle when it came to this.

Upon seeing a Lightroom over-processed storm photo - Photography fans are going wild -"Awesome pic, man!! - whilst meteorologists are saying "Holy @*@&*(&! - it's the end of the world! AAGH!"

im lost a tad everything has been perfect but one thing i dont understand on my end at least, i can play your video here on UA-cam in 4k, but when i have my setup hooked up my input on the 4k capture utility stays on 1080/60 even though the hero8 says 4k60w, and if i double check in obs the camera sorce it also is only 1080p how are u getting/recording in 4k? or are u just recording onto your cameras memory card? and thats how, are we stuck to only 1080p using this way

Are you able to get 4K output on the micro HDMI out? I keep having issues with the camlink 4K capture app telling me the "source" is only 480p

Great video man

Hi. Thanks for youre video. Any solution for the startup screen and how to direct get to camera? Really enoing when switching between screens =)

Thank you for the video. Have any changes been made in the latest firmware versions regarding this problem? I'm thinking of buying this camera, but this problem stops me because I shoot a lot of different time-lapses...

I also immediately picked this up on my first atempt to shoot a timelapse with the Z7 II as I also fo0llow the same workflow as you described. Shooting manual and watching the meter. I also agree with you that the raw files on the Z7 II does have a very nice look to them, but other than that, the camera is a major step back in ergonomics and usablity. Personally I think it not just Nikon related but more mirroless related. Way too much emphasis were placed on making mirrorless cameras smaller at the expense of ergonomics. Hopefully and the mirrorless eara age we will see a return of solid design and workflow options.

Dude why is your video so grainy?

Good stuff. Very precise. Just bought Gopro hero 10 & said where is the HDMI input. Damn another 80+ USD well I ordered media mod & just ran across this video. Saved me a lot of time. Thank you

GoPro 10 and Windows 11. Can't get the driver to work and can't get the camera to go into webcam mode.

Great video. I'm not sure when you go back from photoshop to lightroom that the picture is still 32bit? Lightroom probably converts it to 16bit? What do you think?

Sir, I am just wondering if I get media mod, hdmi-to-micro_hdmi, cam-link & usb-c, can i connect gopro8 directly to zoom, skype, ms teams, g-meet as like as a built-in webcam without OBS? Thanks for replying.

I’m feeling frustrated… storms in MN today … want to do lightning … my D850 , I just put it on Timer , choose my settings . When I set my settings for 9 shots with 1 second in between , I get ONE shot …. HOW do I get the 9 continuous shots …???? Love lightning storms !! But help plz !!!!!!

Do you have delay issue?

Awesome... Thanks so much for the info.

I feel your pain. Gone from the 850 to the z7. Love the camera. Except the interval timer. I do 45 secs between frames and on the 850 the easiest way to turn off the timer was to turn camera on and off. Z7 seems to turn off at the drop of the hat when making adjustments. Still haven’t worked out why.

Hi Kyle Jackson, this video of yours helped me to solve some problems with my gopro 8, thank you very much.

Clean HDMI Out 7:00

It is NOT only the Z7II or Z6II but I had D850 and now the Z9 and both have a serious problem with the "Interval Timer Shooting" they losing frames if you don't make the interval long enough... For me it is in my star-trails with settings: 30' per frame for ec 500 frames I need to input the interval to 34' (shutter speed + interval) seconds, meaning I have to have 4 seconds minimum gap between frames instead of the 1' second an external controller gives me or even almost no gap in continuous mode and locked controller... Nikon knows about it for many years as very known photographers have asked but never heard... I was hoping with Z9 they will fix it but... Thank you Nikon!!! (?)

why did you horizontal flip your video ? i do timelapse work of products, not storms. i had the D750 and D850 for that and traded them in for the Sony A1. i am going back to Nikon but unsure about the Z7 II. timelapse work is shot in a studio with more then a few seconds interval but they extend over multiple days or even weeks. you see the Z7 ii as a good camera for this ?

I was in that tornado

THIS WAS USEFUL. LESS PEOPLE MAKE THIS KIND OF CONTENT. THANK YOU THOUGH.

Hi Adam, so to connect a Hero 7 to an ATEM mini I would need an mini HDMI to the 7 and a standard sized HDMI cable to the ATEM mini? As it stands I can't shell out $1000 on a camera now, amny better suggestions?

Why doesn't my gopro10 work with C to HDMI cord for OBS?

That was a big help removing the battery and sd card display items. I removed the battery like you said since I am using the media mod, it now shows just the usb connected on the front and back displays and won't run the webcam. I am running into an Item Mini (The plan is to have 3 cameras once I get the set up working) and then out to OBS. You said you were able to run without the battery. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much for making this video!!! I had been looking everywhere for this!

We're setting up go-pros for our super mobile streaming kits, and I seriously spent all day trying to figure out why it kept showing up as no signal on the 4k capture software.

Your audio from the Rode mic is very clean. How do you get it that clean?

Thankf for the tips...

Thanks for this ! I have the 7 black with microphone adapter. I won’t be able to charge & use microphone adapter at the same time. Do you think I’ll still need to remove batteries?

Is your Z7ii a left handed camera? I've never seen this. The grip and buttons look like they are on the opposite sides.

Hello and thank you for the video! So even though the gopro hero7 has an hdmi port, I still need to connect it through the camlink dongle to the PC?

Bro how do you set this gopro and the mic with out delay?

You are AMAZING! Literally everything you said worked like a treat, even the thing about the battery. I couldn't believe it. I would have spent HOURS trying to figure this out... THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Appreciate you sharing this. I've seen the FB threads with the criticism, which led me here, but you have tons of support. Yes, I have over processed in the past, but unless I'm going for an art piece, I mostly try to process to the level that the image matches what I saw in person. Of course RAW files are going to be flat and dull, if you were shooting JPEG mode the image put of camera would have already popped a lot more, so showing people who don't know better the RAW files probably misleads them.

you process according to what you wish to show to yourself and your viewers. Are you documenting? Are you interpreting? As an aside, there was this guy driving around the countryside back in the 1930s' taking pictures for a project. He saw something happening, jumped out and took a picture. The guy was Ansel Adams and the image was 'Moonrise over Hernandez' Check to see how he interpreted the negative and printed over the years. Not much different that what you did on this image.
