    Thanks for the video mate. Some great points in your video.
    Just got a Z6II yesterday with a view of replacing my D5. I have shot 2 shows since then and it has performed well. A bit to learn moving over to mirrorless but it's a joy to use. Having the ability to put an AF point anywhere in frame is great. Cheers!

    Love the video, very intuitive and will certainly help me with my Z5. I have a burning question that you may be able to answer. Is there a way to make / adjust your own focusing box on the Z5? I have seen this done before, however, the video was very poor in the instructions on how exactly this is done, and he may have been using a Z6 or better. Essentially he was able to make his own focusing size "box" there were indicators that allowed him to make it longer or wider. Thanks again.

    Hey Jason, you should try and set the High ISO NR to either Low or even Off, yes, there is a little more noise but the files are so much sharper! And we all know that Nikon's noise on their sensor is actually not bad looking at all. Just try it - set it to Off!!!
    If you compare Off with Normal you'll see the NR kicks in hard and softens the whole file.

    Outstanding video for this 1-day old Z6ii noob! Thanks for the great overview. Curious, why Nikon over Sony or the others? There is a woeful lack of content defending Nikon on YT. After 6 months of research (having previously shot EOS, D5600, D200, and a rented A7iii), the Z series was the best $$$ for feature and Nikon's color science has always bested the competition. Snapbridge was also a large factor not having a vari-tilt screen... and I agree, it is the best app out there and for remote shooting, image transfer, and firmware updates it makes the Z6ii even a joy to maintain! Thanks again.

    Jason, just ran across this video. Excellent. I'm getting my Z7ii with the 24-200mm lens in two days. I've been shooting with a D500, D750 and D850. I don't need four camera bodies. I want to keep my D500 for the crop sensor and shooting BIF and sports. I love my D850. Would you recommend selling both the 750 and 850 or keep one? I've been shooting Nikon for 10 years and looking forward to mirrorless. Thanks for the setting suggestions. It will definitely give me a leg up. Hope to be in New Zealand and Sydney in October.

    • @JasinBoland
      @JasinBoland  2 роки тому +1

      Oh man, thats a hard one, I am keeping my D850 over my D5/6's but more out of nostalgia and being able to use the slide copier. Once you start using you Z7 II you wont take another body out of the bag. The most important thing is the invest in all the S glass you can, it's phenomenal and as amazing as the f mount lenses are there's just a little something more special in them.

    • @robmeads3207
      @robmeads3207 2 роки тому

      Thanks for the reply Jason. My initial plan, to offset the cost of the new mirrorless, was to sell my D750 and D850. I love my D850 and it's been my workhorse as a travel photographer. I chose the mirrorless for it's lightweight. My experience in Europe in October proved to my carrying about 40 pounds of cameras and lenses takes a toll. Yes, I have many F mount lenses including the trinity 2.8's. I will start with the Z24-200. I will have the FTZii adaptor for my F mounts. I think I'll work with the Z7ii until I'm comfortable with it. If I feel it''s a good fit, I'll sell my D850. If all goes according to plan, I'll sell of some of my F mount lenses and invest in the Z series. Our trip to the South Pacific, New Zealand and Australia is scheduled for October. Here's hoping all is open up by then....Thanks for your help with initial settings.

    • @jamesbruce
      @jamesbruce 3 роки тому +1

      Are you trying to activate your HS sync (shutter speeds past 1/200) on your x-pro trigger? If so, set your Z6 to 1/200, then make sure that you have the x pro trigger set for hs sync. The Z6 top setting for flash sync speed is the 1/200* setting and so that is as high as you can go. One other tip with xpro trigger is to set you min sync speed to 30 seconds on the z6. The reason to do that, is that if your shutter speed falls below 1/60th, your flash will still work. Obviously you would turn that to 1/60 if you need to freeze action, but I have found in shooting events and weddings that I need to use longer shutter speeds sometimes , and would forget that my flash would not go off below the 1/60 of a second. cheers

    Hi. I was under the impression that Picture Controls were useless for a RAW shooter. Picture Controls might affect how the picture appears on your camera's LCD but that's about it. Compare two pictures of the same subject taken with two different Picture Controls profiles by importing the two RAW files in an image editing software and check if you can find some difference...The story is different if you shoot JPEG. On the other hand Auto Distortion Control writes some in formation about the lens used in the NEF file and some image editing softwares (eg. Photoshop) will recognize and apply this information automatically.

    Jasin, Thank you for this video. I liked it. I am a d750 user mainly do photos no videos. I am very happy with it but I think eye detect AF and IBIS will increase my speed of capturing moments and and have more keepers. My main lens is Nikon 24-70 2.8g. I purchased a z5 yesterday. I thought that on Z5 it will work at least as good as it worked on D750 for photos. In good light it is true. But in low light most of my pictures are blurry. I am not sure if I am doing anything wrong. I use eye detect in AFS and AFC mode. Very frustrating. It finds eye well but the review of picture show that eye was not sharp. Please let me know your experience with ftz adaptor and the 24-70g lens in low light. Any suggestion from you will be much appreciated. Thanks.

      @sanjagani 3 роки тому +1

      @@FastPawz My low light auto focus has improved by using some tricks. I am sure you might have also used few of them. For example: (1) menu settings #a11, low light AF, on, (2) do not underexpose more than two stops if possible (3) use single servo AF (4) if focusing in ultra low light use pinpoint AF in single servo which use contrast detection AF instead of Phase detect. (5) for moving subject use shutter speed more than 1/200.
      My z lens focused faster than F mount g lens. But I think I will have to live with it. I still love my D750 but I am spoiled by eyedetect AF.

      Oh i'm sorry, so much to fit in but you can pause and go back to check you have things how you like.

    its very irritating to see you skip most of the settings without even opening them fully. if you dont know about them atleast learn about it even if you are not using and just explain it. or dont do incomplete videos and waste our time

      I was sharing the setting I use for a film set and I do say this setup may not be for everyone.

    Hey Jasin, thank you for sharing mate. Why do you prefer sRGB to Adobe RGB?

      sRGB gives you a more accurate rendering from Monitor to print.
