[@Maase_Choshev]

This is just awsome! Thanks a lot!

[@MoeAdel_]

Thanks for the important information ❤

[@izziereal2010]

Thank you for sharing this video setting tutorial. I will try these settings on my ZF.

[@scotthayesproductions5715]

this is awesome!

[@robertluxamafreethinker]

That's great!
And... What about the New Audio System of the Nikon Z6 III?

[@mikeslawin9681]

Cool Video! Have a different unrated question to this video. Shooting a social media video with my fx3. Shooting horizontal but editing in adobe PP for vertical video.
Question is, can I shoot @ 60FPS and have audio match ok if I post to Instagram? I heard it defaults to 30fps. Thank you for your help!

[@Syedhamzaali997]

I want to ask which pp u used to record this couple shots

[@ST-fl5fy]

I’m kind of confused between video AF and video AF tracking. Also what settings simply for photos AF? Thanks

[@meloenfotovideodrone]

hi, i have the z9. If I press on the screen for another af point. then it goes too fast for video. for example if I have a bride and groom, one of whom is standing one meter behind. When I want to change focus, it's so abrupt fast. Does not look natural when focus pulling, I have not seen a setting that can make this happen gradually.

Do your planes fly so low there in America? Video shooting time is limited on this Nikon? How many megapixels are there?

[@waveland]

I think there are a lot of scenarios where you don’t want the camera shifting focus when the subject leaves the frame. Often true of people if they get obscured by an object temporarily. You don’t want the camera focusing on the background and then have to wait for it to pull back to the person when they reappear. Even more so with animals and especially birds when using long lenses. If the bird flies out of the frame, you don’t want to focus to drift out to infinity and then have to reacquire when the bird come back to its perch. More often than not, I want that setting turned off.

I wish I could map the OK button on my gimbal. It’s annoying when my Z cams lose what they’re tracking and I have to interact with the camera while it’s on the gimbal.
And P.S., never use IBIS for handheld on a Z cam, it’s horrible. Turn IBIS off and add a bunch of weight to your rig.

[@ravidhingra484]

Is its AF is best of all Nikon's AF OR BEST OF ALL( other brands ) AF?

[@whoismatt]

Nikon's best

[@midoabdo-hd6nr]

What about nikon z6ii ?

[@MultiAmruth]

Except Subject detection mode all other setting can be dialed in on Z6II as well
