First time in my whole life as a professional photographer, 25 years, I've actually sat through a whole video like this one. You are very eloquent, entertaining and you make the doldrums of learning a camera manual quite interesting. My hat off to you my friend. You've made a new fan of me. Keep on the good work!
I guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Bruno August I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Bought a $2000 Z6 camera and it comes without a user manual which has to be downloaded onto a phone or laptop! Your video was the better option to familiarize myself to the Z6 in my hand. I just spent about four hours watching the video (stop/start/backup/practice/take Excedrin...) and it was worth every minute! Thank you for taking me through this awesome piece of technology. This camera is a far cry from my 1970 Minolta SRT 101 and even my Nikon F4s and D70s.
I searched for tips and tricks for Nikon Z6 because I’m fairly new to photography and I recently just bought this camera. I was planning on watching a few short videos. This video popped up and I clicked on it. I didn’t even see how long it was. I sat and watched the entire video in one sitting. What an incredible video for noobies such as myself who simply just want to know all about the camera. This was incredibly well made. There was plenty of humor that I loved. Awesome job man.
This. did it for me. Now, my brand new camera is up and running perfectly fine. No sweat and no tears. Thanks Jared, I appreciate that you go over everything and don’t skip anything.
I just want to say thanks to Jared. I watched a few of your videos after exhausting myself thinking Dslr or mirrorless , full frame or cropped sensor. By no means ever in my life have I thought about photography. I’ve never owned a camera. After exhausting myself about week and doing a lot of discovery I found the Nikon Z6. Was eyeballing the Z7 but I didn’t think I needed that “much” camera. I’m supper excited to have purchase a new Z6 today , you’ve helped my convictions to make the purchase. Hopefully I can learn to shoot now and make great memories! Thanks for all the work you do , doing what you do! Let the journey begin ! 🤛
Almost bought the R6 because my friend switched to Canon and the R6 is soo good but I ended up switching to Nikon and buying the Z 6ll and oh man am I happy I am a greedy son of a beep. The Z 6ll is soo much better than the R6, I LOVE this camera! Anyway, to anyone weighing down choices and deciding between the R6 and Z6ll, definitely go with the Z6ll!
I just got a Nikon Z6 so this guide is free at help for me to get started. Very thorough and informative. Thanks!!! Looking forward to more awesome videos.
This was a great video. I currently own a D750 which I primarily use for photography. I recently purchased the Z6 for it's videography capabilities and it hasn't disappoint me. This camera is a great video camera. I love the fact that I can see everything that's displayed on the monitor in the view finder. Nikon really stepped up their game and represented well with the Z series!! I know my camera 10x better than I did before watching this video. Thank you man
Thank you for this. I am transitioning from my NIkon D7100 to the new world camera. This was very helpful and infinitely more entertaining than reading the manual which is not always clear. Appreciate all your work to help others out.
Thanks for this awesome tutorial, Jared. I took your advice and ordered the Z6 with 24-70 F4 and the FTZ mount adapter. Now, even before I have it, thanks to this tutorial, I know what to expect and how would I set it up. Thank you again.
Jared, thank you so much for putting this video together! I just purchased my Z6 and configured all of your setting except i stuck with auto ISO, really just to see how well the camera handles low light, etc. Please do more on this camera for real world shooting. Thank you again!
I am so glad I found this video, although my camera is z5 however, this helped me to learn how to use it. There is absolutely no other video like this online. Thanks for putting all the details into your work.
Thanks for the comprehensive guide you've made for the rest of us. I am not new to photography but I am new to Nikon Z6, and after one hour watching to your video I was able to go out and shoot confidently for the entire day. Thanks. One small remark, if I may. It is about the uncompressed RAW vs lossless compressed. The thing is that the modern processors are way faster than even the fastest memory cards. This means that the processor will be able to compress the entire 30MB file and make it, 5 to 10MB smaller, quicker than it would take for the memory card to save the extra 5 to 10MB. Yes, it is a hardly measurable difference when shooting a single photo, but it can become more prominent when shooting series of dozens of photos. Than the compressed RAW is clearly the winner regarding the time it takes to empty the buffer. The obvious drawback is that such a compression cost a lot of processing power and this is less energy efficient. Just something to be aware of when choosing between the compressed and uncompressed RAW the true choice lies between the more responsive and more energy-efficient setting
Come on guys, let Jared be Jared. If you don't like his videos/vlogs then maybe it's best to skip them. It's not always necessary to point out what you don't like about a person. Sometimes it's better to let them be and live your own life.
Thank you so much for an in depth video on this camera. I just purchased this camera and received in the mail today. You helped so much with the intimidation this camera first brought to me. Looking forward to starting a new journey with this camera. I watched the whole video.
Thank you Jared. I've been contemplating moving up to a mirrorless camera but do not want to give up my 30 + years with Nikon. This video actually makes sense of the complicated Nikon setup with some common sense (not to mention a small dose of humor).
Just bought a Z6 and waiting on it to come in via the mail. Tho I've been shooting on a DSLR for years and I kinda know how this camera works, I sat through the whole thing and picked up some useful stuff along the way (like never lend your camera to anyone) Thanks for making these very entertaining videos!
43:28 My understanding of option b4 is that if you know your camera tends to under expose or over expose by a given amount (let's say 1/3 of a stop, despite what your meter is staying) this lets you adjust the default exposure so it will always under/over expose by a set amount (at least, that's how it was explained to me). Think of it like AF fine-tune for DSLR lenses. Some Fuji cameras have this issue, for example, where they may under expose by 1/3 of a stop despite the light meter saying the exposure is correct. I haven't found a need to use it on my Z cameras as I'd rather just adjust my exposure to compensate for light loss due to light transmission loss in a lens. Normally I just eyeball it and if it looks a tad undersposed, I just apply some exposure comp and retake the shot if possible.
Thanks for teaching me and thousands of others,the basic and a little bit of advance on Nikon Z6, Which I just bought 2 days ago together with 50mm 1.8 lens plus the adapter. So Now I have to learn. So Thanks You.....
Thank you soooo very much for this video Jered However, you will want to set the "Release Button to use dial" (f6 menu) This option set to on means you won't have to "HOLD" the ISO button while turning the front or back wheel ;-) best regards, Rick
This was really helpful, thanks much. I'm not new to photography or to Nikon, but they sure added lots of stuff to mirrorless. I watched a few videos and yours was the most helpful by far.
Great video review of settings. I've had my Z6 for about 6 months now, and have been digging in further to get more out of the advanced settings on the camera. Good comprehensive review of all of the settings, I picked up some hidden nuggets here,especially the review of the screen icons. Lots of options for changing settings I wasn't taking advantage of. I did note one misleading item: Under Photo Shooting Menu > NEF (RAW) recording, you said to select Uncompressed because compression on your files is bad. Actually Lossless Compressed is the preferred setting as lossless is, well lossless, meaning no image degradation to the file. Lossless compression is like a zip file. The technique cuts the size of the file by up to half but doesn't affect the underlying data. Lossy compression is not a good as data is lost, but using Uncompressed will slow writes and reads from your card and increase potential storage requirements by up to half.
JPEG _star_ setting is better than jpeg _fine_setting, check the manual. Star indicates better quality in the detail whereas non star is all images are same file size more or less
Nikon Red is actually dope so is Denim, toy, and graphite. if you shoot raw you wont have to worry about it, but Nikon RED profile is actually a very cool and unique profile. hard to replicate.
I've just made 1200 pictures for a time-lapse, no silent mode, so no electronic shutter, and I lost only one stripe of the five on the battery signal. :)
This is an excellent video tutorial. We're looking at buying this camera and it will be the first camera of this kind (DSLR) that we'll have purchased.. and this spells it all out beautifully. Thank you :)
I started following you. Because my wife has been talking about getting back into photography. She has the Nikon D60. & has been out of the cine for some time. I would like to surprise her with the z62. If could do a top 5 review or your list of go-to lenses for the Nikon z62 that would be really helpful. Thanks!.
Thanks for the settings file. I couldn't get my camera to recognise it and then found on Ken Rockwell's site that you have to set your Z6 to P, S, A or M mode on the top dial first. Then worked.
Im still trying to find fault with this guy, I truly enjoy watching someone who loves what they do, who is authentic and above all, has the courage to share what they know with us. As much as you might want to hate him or crit him, he leaves you richer with his knowledge. Thanks for this, I know I appreciate your opinions. COntinue.
Unbelievable how many people turn to personal insults if you disagree, don't like or simply don't understand the content being delivered which by the way no one is forcing it down their throats... How lousy their lives must be to try to have some relevance at the expense of other people's hard work.
Jared... REALLY enjoy your user's guides and have used them for several Nikon cameras in the past...thanks for a great resource! That said...you did a Z50 guide and then a Z6 guide...but no Z5 guide. Would it be safe to "assume" (dangerous or embarrassing on occasion!) that setting up a Z5 is basically the same as the Z6...or too many differences?
as the famous Ansel Adams quote goes, “there’s nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.”Meaning, don’t focus on equipment so much that you forget about what really matters.Always remember to put your vision and creativity first, and let the tools follow.
Excellent presentation Mr Fro. Thankyou, enjoyed the whole film. Amongst others cameras, I use a D800 thinking of changing to mirrorless after 40 years self employed in photography. I suffer with severe arthritis and I'm now struggling holding the heavy DSLR's with flash attached and a 70-200mm zoom. Hope the Z6 is a lot lighter? Best wishes from me here in the UK.
Unless this already exists, I really would love for you to do an Atomos Ninja V guide video, possibly with this specific camera. I got the Z6 with an Atomos Ninja because of the 10-bit video and future RAW video capability. I am sure a lot of people will be getting these two together. It was a bit intimidating to learn at first with all the settings, connections, and new file types such as prores. Great stuff, keep it up!
Great video, very informative. I just got my Z6 today and spent this evening watching your video. I also used your D7500 video when I first got that camera. I’ve learned a lot from your videos and enjoy the humor!
Very good video as always. Btw, the ISO settings is a lot more than just setting the ISO, it's also about automatic ISO according to the shutter speed!! I don't understand why you skipped it.
Not that i comment to often or anything but i just wanted to say i like your work and thanks for all the content you, dan, steven, and todd create. Its made the world of photography a joy to participate in and made me a better photographer, thank you
Good overview, one small thing I'll disagree with is airplane mode. Leave airplane mode on in general, saves a bit of battery by shutting down the bluetooth/wifi (same as battery saver does on a phone)
And for last. Picture Control affects RAW. I think better to set it to Flat. It gives less contrast image in preview, but more dynamic range. Yes, with RAW you can get back from any to any Picture Profile in lightroom. But I think it is better when you can control what you get in shadows during shoot. And apply Boomify preset later. you can take one picture with VIVID and one with FLAT and compare.
Very good video , thx fro , however all the videos I watched about Nikon z6 never mentioned they took XQD memory cards , I did a stupid thing a prebought a SD card only to find it doesn’t fit anyway , would have been nice to be advised , keep up the good work fro
Hi sir I have my new camera z6 but I capture the photo in ISO 200 apeture 4 and shutter 120 and has given high noise photo what the problem tell me pls 😥😥 photo can zoom blur and noisey photo pls tell meee
Would this tutorial also apply to the Z6 II as far as these settings recommendations go? I suspect so, but asking the dumb question anyway…. My Z6II arrives next week! I look forward to inevitably going full auto and pretending I’m pro!:)
I got a Nikon z7ii and shot 1500 full quality RAWs with 45% battery left. During the shoot i stopped several times to check the images. Just and FYI for anyone wondering about the z7ii
I really wish Nikon would have made the FTZ Adapter tripod socket thing removeable. Even if it was another screw you could take out to detach the bottom so you'd be left with a round adapter would have been nice. People should always shoot RAW. Even if (in the beginning when they are starting out) if they only use the OOC JPEGs, at least they'll have the RAWs later to play with. That's one thing I'm glad I started doing from day one. I still have some of my original RAW files from when I started in photography 6 years ago and granted they aren't that great, but I can play around with them. Memory cards are also quite cheap (well, not XQD or CFExpress, but SD are) and it's not like film days where you're literally paying a few dollars per click. You might as well shoot RAW+JPEG if you're not sure. Even as an experienced photographyer, I still shoot RAW+JPEG just in case I need to get an image to someone really quick that doesn't require much if any editing. Of course 99% of my images are edited from the RAW file but for doing things like giving your client a selection of images to pick from, it's easy to use OOC JPEGs as long as they don't look like totoal crap. The one thing about the AF illuminator that I've noticed (and this spans across multiple NIkon cameras) even if you turn it off, sometimes the light will turn on, which is annoying. It's gotten to a point where I'll sometimes put a piece of electrical tape over the LED so it doesn't light up (especially if I'm photographing a model in a studio or a concert for example, as it can be distracting). Nikon, please fix this.
First time in my whole life as a professional photographer, 25 years, I've actually sat through a whole video like this one. You are very eloquent, entertaining and you make the doldrums of learning a camera manual quite interesting. My hat off to you my friend. You've made a new fan of me. Keep on the good work!

I was so into this video that I didn't even realize there was only 2 mins left on the video excellent work !
Excellent overview of Z6. Thanks Jared.
I literally unboxed the Z6 today. SO COOL how your video showed up in my feed without even searching for it.
Thanks for making this video!
I just got a Nikon Z6 so this guide is free at help for me to get started. Very thorough and informative. Thanks!!! Looking forward to more awesome videos.
Great Video. I just ordered my Z6 + FTZ Adapter and i am looking forward to get a great camera, which replaces my D7000.
How is it? I'm deciding between the a7iii and the Z6
Samien Rahman, Jared Polin had done a compare between the A7 III and Z6.
I love my Z6 and the FTZ. Buying used F mount lens and they work great..
Doing the same a year later. Also replacing my D7000. How was your last year of the Z6? What lense do you have and did you sell you D7000 glass?
Me 2
This was a great video. I currently own a D750 which I primarily use for photography. I recently purchased the Z6 for it's videography capabilities and it hasn't disappoint me.

Thanks Fro Knows Photo ... I bought a used Z6 ... followed your setup exactly. Outstanding commentary.
Thanks for this awesome tutorial, Jared. I took your advice and ordered the Z6 with 24-70 F4 and the FTZ mount adapter. Now, even before I have it, thanks to this tutorial, I know what to expect and how would I set it up.
Thank you again.

Best user guides/tutorials out! Watched the D3400 when I bought that & now this for my upgrade to Z6 👌
I am so glad I found this video, although my camera is z5 however, this helped me to learn how to use it. There is absolutely no other video like this online. Thanks for putting all the details into your work.
Nothing wrong with a good amount of knipples....
Very helpful video...
Thanks for the comprehensive guide you've made for the rest of us. I am not new to photography but I am new to Nikon Z6, and after one hour watching to your video I was able to go out and shoot confidently for the entire day. Thanks.

Thats too hard for the entitled of the world.
I have two F2s, a Photomic FTN, and an Fm....and a cheap Cannon A-200 digital. Life goes on, doesn't it? ( : P
Thank you so much for an in depth video on this camera. I just purchased this camera and received in the mail today. You helped so much with the intimidation this camera first brought to me. Looking forward to starting a new journey with this camera. I watched the whole video.
Best Z6 tutorial I've seen! I do like the Knipplely stick.
Thank you Jared. I've been contemplating moving up to a mirrorless camera but do not want to give up my 30 + years with Nikon. This video actually makes sense of the complicated Nikon setup with some common sense (not to mention a small dose of humor).

Thanks for this. Beats reading the manual.
I finally set up focus peaking. Love it.
Thanks for teaching me and thousands of others,the basic and
a little bit of advance on Nikon Z6,
Which I just bought 2 days ago together with 50mm 1.8 lens plus the adapter.
So Now I have to learn.
So Thanks You.....
Thank you soooo very much for this video Jered
However, you will want to set the "Release Button to use dial" (f6 menu) This option set to on means you won't have to "HOLD" the ISO button while turning the front or back wheel ;-)
best regards, Rick
I am totally new to cameras. I appreciate your detailed instructions. I subscribed two minutes into the video.
This was really helpful, thanks much. I'm not new to photography or to Nikon, but they sure added lots of stuff to mirrorless. I watched a few videos and yours was the most helpful by far.
Tony should watch this tutorial. How to ... AF, WB, VR
blue lol ...
blue haha
Just got a Z6, very helpful video, thanks.
Great video review of settings. I've had my Z6 for about 6 months now, and have been digging in further to get more out of the advanced settings on the camera. Good comprehensive review of all of the settings, I picked up some hidden nuggets here,especially the review of the screen icons. Lots of options for changing settings I wasn't taking advantage of.
I did note one misleading item: Under Photo Shooting Menu > NEF (RAW) recording, you said to select Uncompressed because compression on your files is bad. Actually Lossless Compressed is the preferred setting as lossless is, well lossless, meaning no image degradation to the file. Lossless compression is like a zip file. The technique cuts the size of the file by up to half but doesn't affect the underlying data. Lossy compression is not a good as data is lost, but using Uncompressed will slow writes and reads from your card and increase potential storage requirements by up to half.
hey hairy guy... baldie here... got my z6 few hours ago... your video was so helpful.. thanks a lot.. have a nice day
JPEG _star_ setting is better than jpeg _fine_setting, check the manual. Star indicates better quality in the detail whereas non star is all images are same file size more or less
Does Jared do a guide for the Z5? if not would this video be similar enough to set up the Z5
Absolutely. The whole menu system on the Z5 is exactly the same as the Z6 just a few of the in-camera features aren't available.
@@sbk_nef cheers
My favorite video of his to date. "ALWAYS SHOOT RAW. I SHOOT RAW"
23:37 No, actually, cards are not cheap for the Z series ;)
You not lying. I just bought my first z6 the other day and got damn. Them cards (used 64gig) is 70 bucks then on to 100 on up
This video is fantastic bro. Very very helpful for people like me who want awesome tech but don't feel like reading the manual
I didn't even know that Z nikon series have focus stacking.
Very well done Nikon 👍
Thanks 4 this guide sir Fro'
Thanks! I always use your videos to set up my cameras.
I just got myself a Nikon z5 and was looking for a video like this but couldn’t find one. Really wish you made one for the z5 😃
Nikon Z6II ordered today! And this video so helpful like with my previous camera D7500. Jared you are superb 🔥
Nikon Red is actually dope so is Denim, toy, and graphite. if you shoot raw you wont have to worry about it, but Nikon RED profile is actually a very cool and unique profile. hard to replicate.
I've just made 1200 pictures for a time-lapse, no silent mode, so no electronic shutter, and I lost only one stripe of the five on the battery signal. :)
Thanks Jared I always learn so much from you and your videos.
Got my Z6 and your video has helped me make sense of the menu system. Thank you!
This is an excellent video tutorial. We're looking at buying this camera and it will be the first camera of this kind (DSLR) that we'll have purchased.. and this spells it all out beautifully. Thank you :)
Just bought this camera wih the kit lens and ftz adapter. Keep up your awesome videos! Love it
Excellent and valuable advice. Huge amount of ground covered and very useful.
Great video! Will your sttings work for Nikon z5
Super well explained!! Fro knows fo sho
I started following you. Because my wife has been talking about getting back into photography.
She has the Nikon D60. & has been out of the cine for some time.
I would like to surprise her with the z62. If could do a top 5 review or your list of go-to lenses for the Nikon z62 that would be really helpful. Thanks!.
Enjoyed the tutorial. Thanks Jared.
you are simply the best!!! thank you so much for your video and for your help!
Beautifully explained 👏 👌
Thanks for the settings file. I couldn't get my camera to recognise it and then found on Ken Rockwell's site that you have to set your Z6 to P, S, A or M mode on the top dial first. Then worked.
"Some people may need the very basics" That is me :D thank you for detailed video!
I love this channel😃 and I love the way that Jared jokes, that's funny and information is useful at the same time!:) Thanks
Im still trying to find fault with this guy, I truly enjoy watching someone who loves what they do, who is authentic and above all, has the courage to share what they know with us. As much as you might want to hate him or crit him, he leaves you richer with his knowledge. Thanks for this, I know I appreciate your opinions. COntinue.
I wish it had the lift dial for the ASA. Plus a normal aperture ring. Plus a stiffer lens release button.
Unbelievable how many people turn to personal insults if you disagree, don't like or simply don't understand the content being delivered which by the way no one is forcing it down their throats... How lousy their lives must be to try to have some relevance at the expense of other people's hard work.
Thanks Jared, great informative video, a lot to take in. Just got my Z6 and you helped so much.
Jared...
REALLY enjoy your user's guides and have used them for several Nikon cameras in the past...thanks for a great resource!
That said...you did a Z50 guide and then a Z6 guide...but no Z5 guide. Would it be safe to "assume" (dangerous or embarrassing on occasion!) that setting up a Z5 is basically the same as the Z6...or too many differences?

Excellent presentation Mr Fro.
Thankyou, enjoyed the whole film.
Amongst others cameras, I use a D800 thinking of changing to mirrorless after 40 years self employed in photography.
I suffer with severe arthritis and I'm now struggling holding the heavy DSLR's with flash attached and a 70-200mm zoom.
Hope the Z6 is a lot lighter?
Best wishes from me here in the UK.
From a time when Fro liked Nikon.
Thank you for this video. It helped a lot! This camera is very challenging for a neophyte like me!
Unless this already exists, I really would love for you to do an Atomos Ninja V guide video, possibly with this specific camera. I got the Z6 with an Atomos Ninja because of the 10-bit video and future RAW video capability. I am sure a lot of people will be getting these two together. It was a bit intimidating to learn at first with all the settings, connections, and new file types such as prores. Great stuff, keep it up!
Great video, very informative. I just got my Z6 today and spent this evening watching your video. I also used your D7500 video when I first got that camera. I’ve learned a lot from your videos and enjoy the humor!
Thank you so much this video are really good and so helpful. All things what I don’t understand you explain in one video ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
how practical will this guide be for the z6ii? it's on the way
Very good video as always.
Btw, the ISO settings is a lot more than just setting the ISO, it's also about automatic ISO according to the shutter speed!! I don't understand why you skipped it.
Can we use a regular SD card on this camera?
No you can't. It doesn't have the two memory slots like other newer versions of the Nikon Zs
Thank you so much for this video. I just got my camera and this information is so helpful. I love the way you explain!!
Not that i comment to often or anything but i just wanted to say i like your work and thanks for all the content you, dan, steven, and todd create. Its made the world of photography a joy to participate in and made me a better photographer, thank you
Thanks Jared for making this video. You are awesome!
I finally remembered t watch the video.Just in time for the new firmware to be released the end of the week.
Good stuff Jared. You need to make a t-shirt for the arrival of the 58 0.95: "Noct: I Shoot At Night"
Good overview, one small thing I'll disagree with is airplane mode. Leave airplane mode on in general, saves a bit of battery by shutting down the bluetooth/wifi (same as battery saver does on a phone)
And for last. Picture Control affects RAW. I think better to set it to Flat. It gives less contrast image in preview, but more dynamic range. Yes, with RAW you can get back from any to any Picture Profile in lightroom. But I think it is better when you can control what you get in shadows during shoot. And apply Boomify preset later.
you can take one picture with VIVID and one with FLAT and compare.
Nice and well done. Good explanation of the various settings.
Nkon D6 is the King of Photo !
Thank you very much for your good advice
Very good video , thx fro , however all the videos I watched about Nikon z6 never mentioned they took XQD memory cards , I did a stupid thing a prebought a SD card only to find it doesn’t fit anyway , would have been nice to be advised , keep up the good work fro
Thanks for making this! Can't imagine its very profitable but it's very useful! Thanks man
I am adjusting settings on my a couple of hours old Z6 as I watch this video :))
Super good video,thank you very much
"It's a pain in the tuches"😂😂 nice to hear something from my language from time to time! Thanks for the amazing tutorial! Subscribed!
Super great video. Thank you.
Hi sir I have my new camera z6 but I capture the photo in ISO 200 apeture 4 and shutter 120 and has given high noise photo what the problem tell me pls 😥😥 photo can zoom blur and noisey photo pls tell meee
Do you use a lens protector? If so any recommendations?
Would this tutorial also apply to the Z6 II as far as these settings recommendations go? I suspect so, but asking the dumb question anyway…. My Z6II arrives next week! I look forward to inevitably going full auto and pretending I’m pro!:)
I got a Nikon z7ii and shot 1500 full quality RAWs with 45% battery left. During the shoot i stopped several times to check the images. Just and FYI for anyone wondering about the z7ii
Great video thanks for the info!
So much fun watching Jared's posts, I love the unexpected jokes here and there. Could you please do Nikon Z50 User's Guide?
I really wish Nikon would have made the FTZ Adapter tripod socket thing removeable. Even if it was another screw you could take out to detach the bottom so you'd be left with a round adapter would have been nice.
People should always shoot RAW. Even if (in the beginning when they are starting out) if they only use the OOC JPEGs, at least they'll have the RAWs later to play with. That's one thing I'm glad I started doing from day one. I still have some of my original RAW files from when I started in photography 6 years ago and granted they aren't that great, but I can play around with them. Memory cards are also quite cheap (well, not XQD or CFExpress, but SD are) and it's not like film days where you're literally paying a few dollars per click. You might as well shoot RAW+JPEG if you're not sure. Even as an experienced photographyer, I still shoot RAW+JPEG just in case I need to get an image to someone really quick that doesn't require much if any editing. Of course 99% of my images are edited from the RAW file but for doing things like giving your client a selection of images to pick from, it's easy to use OOC JPEGs as long as they don't look like totoal crap.
The one thing about the AF illuminator that I've noticed (and this spans across multiple NIkon cameras) even if you turn it off, sometimes the light will turn on, which is annoying. It's gotten to a point where I'll sometimes put a piece of electrical tape over the LED so it doesn't light up (especially if I'm photographing a model in a studio or a concert for example, as it can be distracting). Nikon, please fix this.
