- Hi Everyone !
This video is designed for people who have an overly geeky interest in their Nikon Z cameras. Might be boring to some.
The video will take a deep dive in to some of the menu changes in the Nikon Z 6ii and Z 7ii.
this includes new menu options, some changes to settings and changes to displays.
I hope you found this video useful !
if you have an interest in seeing my photography and what I shoot with my Nikon Z kit then follow me on instagram / nikonricci
If you have any questions then let me know in the comments below
thank you so much for watching !
Good bye

Hey Everyone!
Little bit of a deep dive Geeky video here its certainly won't be for everyone !
For those of you that watched the whole thing I hope you found this video useful and found something that could help you.
Also I know the big question is going to be can these changes be applied to the Original Z 6 & Z 7.
I do not know yet but trying to find out details about new Firmware updates for the Z 6 and Z 7 going forwards.
Thanks again for watching !
A lot of those changes could be put in the Z6 and Z7 firmware, especially where features are removed (such as view info disable). I am hoping that Nikon puts out a firmware update with some of those low-hanging fruit changes, but I am not holding my breath.
I was going to ask this very same question - I hope the software improvements make their way down to the z6/z7. I would love have the no info display, shutter speeds past 30” and the focus memory just to name a few. Thanks for the video!
I had a Sony A7riii (since sold to move to Nikon) - watching this menu summary would have made me cry 6 months ago. I know Sony has improved their menus, but for years people had to deal with a total incoherent mess. The Nikon menu is so intuitive and clean and so well designed.
Hey Richi, would love to see some close up comparison images with skin textures with Z vs F mount, similar to how Gordon at cameralabs did the RF vs EF 85 test recently.
I wasn't going to ask, that's why I'm late. The focus point in manual mode, with the D850 it's a fairly large red box. With the Z7II it's half the size. Any way to have it the larger D850 size? Question #2 ~ on the Z9 there's a 'glove' mode for the LCD screen, it can be turned off. Any such work around for the Z7II?
Ordered my Z 7 II. Here learning as much as possible about it before it arrives.
I just too receipt of a Z6II, which replaces my original Z6. This was very, very helpful. Thank you.
Another really good video. I love the even tone without hyperbole and the great information. All these changes make the Z6ii and Z7ii even more compelling.
Thanks for the video Ricci. It really looks like Nikon has addressed most of the things that the Z's were criticised for. They listened!
I have a Z6 myself and I think it's great. I hope they will give us Z6 users a firmware upgrade that makes it closer to the version II in regards to the customization. The new "no screen clutter" view would be awesome. Having menus that are (almost) equal makes it easier for user of the current Z and the new Z II and less frustrating.
Do you know if the Z6 II has improved video quality? I know the original Z6 uses a full sensor readout for video, and 'downsamples' it to 4k, but the maths it uses is pretty poor so there are some issues with artifacts on fine details, which shouldn't happen on a properly downsampled image. With the Z6 II having two processors, I was wondering whether the downscaling algorithm is improved at all. Having trouble finding info about it.
Hi DIY Perks, I cannot relate with the artifacts you mention, maybe codec compression on extreme high bitrate material? On the Z 6II you can even go 4k60. You will get a crop with 1:1 pixels which becomes even slightly sharper that the transcoded 4k30. Ricci mentioned this in one of his video's. If you want to get even more detail (10 bit), record externally on a Atomos or Black Magic recorder, you can even go (12bit) RAW video.
Thank you so much! I always appreciate the deeper dive into details that are too often skimmed over by others. Looking forward to your next ones, and hope you make it (at least) to 20k subscribers by 2021. Take care!
As always thank you 😊
Thanks for all your hard work. Congrats on 20.000 subs.
Great Video Ricci - thank you! Looking forward to the 50mm 1.2 image quality tests!
was looking forward to this video! thanks for the detailed breakdown of the new menu options!
Thanks for watching!
I am surprised you only have gotten 18l subs since you are the best source of actual Nikon information and the best lens tests of any channel or brand. I refer a lot of people to the channel but probably did not increase the sub rate much.
The new menu options all make so much sense and really refine the control of the camera to personal taste. The less intrusive level display is very welcome. For me, the only real benefit for 2 slots is having video directed to the second card so in transfers to my network drives stills are not bogged down by large video files. The new focus control options are very nice to see, and not having to separately select a menu option for eye detect or animal and now the single af mode menu list has the eye detection choice. The ability to restrict eye detection to an area is exactly what I need for my theater work, where shooting individuals in a scene with multiple actors it will be a snap to assure AF is limited to who I am seeking. That is a side business that grew from volunteering to shoot at a few theaters where my friends were actors, and that grew into contracts with 31 theaters, that augments my product, portraiture and fashion studio sessions.
The more the details of the Z6/7 2 are seen the more compelling they are. These little details are significant improvements in ease of use.
Will you be getting newer closer to production firmware before general release? I would love to see you do an AF test for tracking to see how much faster and sure it is. One thing that the UA-cam influencers who pan Nikon fail to understand, the speed of display focus point tracking has little relationship with actual focus. Several of the usual bashers of Nikon tout the superiority of Sony AF over and Z6/7 by showing the speed of scene focus point indication but when burst most was used, one showed the actual images and the Z6 had far more in focus than Sony. The speed of the focus box had little relation to the actual attainment of focus on erratic moving subjects. That is what I find in shooting ballroom dance competition(which is faster than most sports) that I consistently get more in-focus images than my competing photographers who use a73. Shooting equestrian events, show jumpers reveals the same. Possibly the lens differences could be part of it but the Z cameras deliver the sharp in-focus images consistently. The trainers want 3-4 nailed shots on each jump focused on leg position at the plant, extension and landing. Due to the indoor training arenas, light is a challenge so wide apertures for the fast shutters that are needed and the Z6 delivers. The ONLY problem that took getting used to was the shutter delay compared to the D850, the shutter release button press and actual capture is milliseconds later so took some practice to compensate. From your tests do you notice any change in the shutter response time on the Z6 2?
Brilliant brilliant video! Thanks Ricci, really useful information.
Can't wait for that 50mm f/1.2 video. Still deciding if I want to go for it and get rid of my 58mm f/1.4G. Hope you have some input on that!
Yes this is an interesting video. As I am about to but my order in. Have fun as Grays of Friday. Thank you for all your videos. PS for me your channel is one of the best resource for information of new Nikon kit and telling us how to use it, in an honest way.
Thank you for watching
@@RicciTalks Hope this is a good way to contact you. Ricci,
My name is Les and I binged on several of your videos last night. Your tests of the S Line lens in comparison to the F lens were just awesome. So informative and useful. I am a subscriber to your channel. I have a few questions that hopefully you can address.
I’m a serious photographer with Nikon since leaving Minolta for a D 90 in 2009.
I pre ordered the D 600 and currently use F line 24/70 F2.8 ED, 70/200 F2.8 VR II, 58 F1/4, and 85 F1/8. I pre ordered the 58 but I never hear about it. I also never had sensor problems with the D 600 but it’s reputation was damaged, replaced by the D 610.
I admit that my equipment has been sitting for a year or two but I do read and am looking forward to the next steps as a pro in a few years. But where am I going?
I almost moved up to the D 850 but didn’t I get it due to back order unavailability and then talks of mirrorless. I was excited about the Z 7 & 6 but held off with pre orders because of the bad press and Nikon’s initial foray into mirrorless. Plus my Nikon experience acquiring pre orders because of good press.
I thought about moving to Sony then more recently to Canon R 5. But that would require all new lenses.
Nikon Z 7 II is impressive and has my eye. I thought my current lens setups would work good with the Z 7 II but the S lens are much more impressive than my pro class F lens as your videos are showing.
1. Could the F lens adapter effect the quality of F lens on the Z 7? The S glass is a step up in quality as you point out in your comparison videos.
2. What are your thoughts on the 58 F 1/4 on the Z 7 II? Did you test it on the Z’s?
3. Looks like the S line roadmap updated and now contains an 85 1/4. Not bad but how will that impact the good S 85 1/8?
4. Any chance the S 24-105 will an F4 lens? I’d like a walk around lens but not a S 24/70 F4.
5. What are your thought on using my good F lens with adapter on the Z 7 II? 24/70 F 2.8 ED, 70/200 F 2.8 VR II, 58 F 1/4, and 85 F 1/8. This is well rounded set of lens for how I like to shoot; sport and portrait.
Hope I didn’t overwhelm you with questions but I certainly enjoyed your informative tests and presentations. Thanks

Thanks for the video. There are many nice features that nobody has spoken about before. I‘m looking forward to hold it in my hands.
Just got myself a Nikon Z7ii, and have found this really useful.
Thank you Ricci!! You and your channel are awesome. We needed a channel like this.
Great and very useful video as usual. Hope some of these new menu options will be passed on to the Z6/7
Very helpful as always
Wow this is the specific and detail video? And I thought I was an A time - nice 🖤.
I am an enthusiast landscape and wildlife photographer with a Nikon D610 and Tamron 70-200 lens as a main lens. I am considering moving to a Z7II and some S lenses. This is the first video of yours I have seen. Great info. I subscribed and clicked the notification bell. Looking forward to more videos. Your content is exactly what I need.
Please do a deep-dive on the autofocus improvements! You are the only channel with info on this so far!
Always brilliant tutorials a tour de force.
Wow, there are a lot of helpful little features hidden in the menus. Thanks for showing us, Ricci!
Thanks for watching:)
@@RicciTalks and now I'm searching for a good reason to buy a Z6 II... perhaps as backup body for my Z7... ;-)
Focusing that new trigger and back to you face was really smooth. Good that you have mentioned it is done by Z6 ii.
Nice video. Please consider adding some interesting thumbnail for your videos.!!
Great job, Ricci.
Thanks Darrell !
Great video! I'm definitely investing in the Nikon z7 ii
Such a straight forward easy to grasp content... subscribed
I do hope Nikon will retrospectively apply those setting options to the Z6 and Z7, for example I shoot the night sky, and would appreciate shutter speeds longer than 30 seconds. Love the menu overview in my view there is more of an upgrade to the Mk ii versions than indicated by some people who seem to have over looked the menu options mostly. Thanks Ricci love you videos.
The didn't and they won't. Just buy a Z6II lol (sarcasm).
Great to see the in menu changes. I'm chomping at the bit to upgrade my Z6 but I'm holding off until I see your focus comparison. Also when's the 70-200mm full review coming?
Nikon z6 is a great cameras. These changes will make it even better. Glad to see Nikon is refining the system so quickly. Thanks for the video Ricci.
Brilliant as usual.
Thanks a lot !
When Ricci talks....we listen 😋👍
Hahaha that’s good ! 🤣
Excellent review. Very detailed and objective. Subscribed.
Great information Ricci 👍
Thanks for watching 😊
I appriciate your input on Z 6II and Z 7II, but I would like to ask about video about 50/1.2s
Many thanks for doing all the legwork , its worth dumping my Z6 and buying the upgrade I always thought they would iron out the issues in a upgrade
Extended exposure is perfect!
Hi Ricci - great job with this and all your vids. Thanks for producing them! I wanted to say that your sound levels seemed to be improved with this vid. Often times I need to turn you way up to hear you, but not on this vid!
Thanks for the great video.
One thing... The camera on the mini tripod in the background made me nervous, just setting there, ready to topple over at any moment. Glad it didn't. :-)
thanks for the update! Really looking forward to a video about the new autofocus, when will you be doing that?
As soon as I can get a Production unit should be next week or so
@@RicciTalks AWESOME, looking forward to it! I’m planning on purchasing a z6ii but need to know how the AF works, hopefully much better!

Thx again for another great video, I just setup my new Z6II. I also own a D850 and I wonder if I must finetune my F lenses on the Z6II.
Thank you!! I was hoping for af-area mode-+af on like the d850 has.
Yeh a lot of people as requested that ! Sadly not there yet
Ridiculous arrogance on Tokyo's part to ignore repeated articulated requests for this Option, which is so simple. Nikon has had the code since 2015 ie pending releasing the D5 and D500. NO sale to me until then. There is NO excuse this time.
These cameras can languish in warehouses until the Firmware - or will it be Z vIII?
@@FCotterill Couldn't agree more. Heights of arrogance by Nikon and no wonder they're struggling to sell their mirrorless bodies. On one had, the Z lenses are setting new benchmarks with outstanding optics and on the other hand there are these half baked camera bodies with missing features and functionalities. This is one of the features a lot of photographers including some of the prominent ones like Thom Hogan and Brad Hill have expressly asked for in several of their blog posts.
@@RicciTalks Hi Ricci, could you please pass on the message officially to Nikon, as to how important this feature is for a lot of sports/action/wildlife shooters? I tried my best to write to Nikon officially on this one right after the first gen Zs were introduced but no luck. I am a D850 user and was seriously considering adding a Z6II or Z7II to complement my D850 for wildlife shooting but the lack of assigning the AF-on+AF area mode alone is a show stopper for me and a lot of folks. This may sound a bit silly but thats how much i use that function with my Nikon DSLR and i would like my Nikon DSLRS and Mirrorless to "Handle" the same way.
Super disappointed also with this oversight. I can't figure out any reason why they can't include this. Why are they half baking these cameras compared to their logical DSLR counterparts...ie Z7II vs D850? Nikon wants me to shell out another $4K CAD for what?
Hey Ricci…. You are doing a great job with the channel… I have just found out recently about it and I am really liking it… just one question, have you already released the UA-cam video about the wireless triggers?, I can seem to find it?.
Informative, video I’ll have to review those options once I get a Z 7 II. BTW, when you review the review the new radio transceiver, can you let us know if you can use it at the same time with an HDMI cable plugged into the Z6 & Z7. The current radio transceiver partially blocks the mini HDMI port on the Z6 & Z7
I really wish Nikon would let me assign a different focus mode to the afon button than the shutter release button. I use this all of the time on my d500/850 and I miss it when shooting on the Z. Seems like a simple thing to include that they are leaving out. Would be nice to instantly activate tracking, or the new eye detect wide mode if shooting in single point or dynamic
Really enjoying your videos Ricci.
Would you be able to review the auto focusing in more detail of the Z6ii as I think we are all waiting to see if that Eye auto focus is better. Also is the Yellow box more stickier.
I was using my awesome Z6 the other day shooting a wedding and it just seemed to take to long time to wake back up after not using the camera for an about a min Many thanks G
I cant understand why Nikon put longer exposure times just now. Its a great feature I was craving for years. But better later then never. Ricci thanks for the video :)
Terimaksih banyak brother 🥰😍 videomu sangat bermanfaat. salam hangat dari Indonesia😘
Hey Ricci, thanks for this in depth video, very helpful. Do you by chance have any info about the lcd lag in the 24/25fps modes? It was bad in the Z 6 and even worse when pairing it with the Ninja V, wondering if the dual processors helped this a bit.
Great info. Pretty detailed. Thanks. Is shipping date still looking at around December for the Z7II?
Waiting for your Z6ii real world review....need to book my Z6ii....
Thanks for all of this information! I'm not purchasing the z7ii as I've only had the z7 for five months and it's quite adequate for me. (I'll wait for the 8 or 9!) I installed the 3.11 firmware the other day. Was hoping the "Live view info display off" would also work on the z7, but the option to clear the screen doesn't seem to be there.
Z6 really needs the clean live view option to come via firmware update, it can be really challenging to frame correctly in some situations with out it. (Eye AF in Wide Area L would be an incredible boon as well.)
I hope Nikon isn't lazy/greedy in this regard. Both to maintain the same operation for people who own both cameras, but as an easy way to show appreciation to customers who supported this system from early on.
Even though they could get an intern level software engineer to do this basically for no cost, Nikon would never give you this. This is the reason they will eventually go out of business.
Hey Ricci, thanks for the video! Are you planning to release the 70-200 + 2x tc - 500mm pf comparison ? I’m really looking forward to that one!
Yep Iv got some really good examples shots for that one just so much to edit and so many videos to make 🤣
Wait, my Z50 has an "Energy Saving" mode… Hah, yes. Awesome, thanks! Now I should the manual about what it exactly does. The fast suspend is annoying with the Zs, true.
Hey Ricci, great Video! Is it now possible to preview the image in 100% view at higher apertures than f/5.6? The Z6/7 automatically stops up in 100% view, which makes it hard to get hyperfocal distance right at higher aperture.
And do you know if the self timer still resets, when you turn the camera off?
Thank you for this. A quick question: are extended shutter speeds available only in manual mode? Are these not available in e.g. aperture priority?
Hi Ricci. Great video as usual. Is it possible to enable highlight warnings/blinkies/zebras when shooting stills in the new cameras? In the originals you could see this after the fact while reviewing images, but not in the live view while shooting.
Any idea if some of these features will come to z6/7 via firmware update? Would really like to see the extended shutter speeds
I REALLY hope so. I’m pretty pissed that Nikon would make me spend thousands just to get a clean rear screen - like almost EVERY other digital camera that’s ever been made 😡
Don’t hold your breath 🤢
I doubt they would. I've been waiting since the D780's release when I saw it in there. It's a feature I'm sure they want to help sell the new bodies. I think Nikon did a great job of adding features throughout the years on our Z bodies. I want it but if I were them I'd leave it only on the new bodies. They need money to survive anyway.
I would guess there is a small chance after the sales of the Z6/7II level off.
hope so too! I think it would also help those who are purchasing a II model but still using an older one side by side, having a more consistent menu..
They should have the changes to the menus and focus modes for the original bodies, if only for consistency and better UX. I would personally hate to have differences. Hoping this will come but I’m not optimistic. Even if they can’t support the Wide Area Eye AF, then at least the older bodies should get the Auto Area Eye AF modes. I don’t believe what I read on DPReview about the Wide Area modes are processor specific, when it’s a smaller area to analyse. Doesn’t make sense to me, it seems like it should require less processing power.
I think it would be nice if Subject Tracking was put in its own mode too. Not bundled in with Auto Area. The OK/FN activation is okay but this it could be refined further.
I’m tempted to trade my Z6 in, but don’t need the Dual Slots or Battery Grip, so probably won’t due to the principal of it being menu changes mostly. AF performance I can live with. I’ll see how Nikon handles it first and if they abandon Z6/7 users. I’m sure most would be happy with even a paid firmware upgrade. People who want card slots, grips and quicker focus will upgrade regardless. Everyone else would just appreciate the increased menu and UI functionality
I’m with you 100%, I would love the non-hardware specific updates, I only have a set budget, so choosing Z lenses at the moment over a new body. But I would feel a lot happier if my body had a longer life than 18 months as it gets great useability updates. From a sales point of view, users would feel part of a system rather than just locked in. The old paradigm of camera sales has shifted and Nikon need a new model to keep old customers and bring in new ones too.
Hello, quick question about the Z7 II. Can it show focus peaking while turning the focus ring while in AF mode?
Couple of questions regarding the Series II.
Nikon DSLRs during play back used to show blinkies (over exposed areas) on the same screen that showed the RGB histogram. That was missing and Z cameras need two different screens to show blinkies and histogram. Has this changed.
With series 1, you can also scroll through menus with the sub-selector (joy stick) but strangely when you press the sub-selector instead of selecting the option, the camera goes to shooting menu! Has this been corrected.
On Z6 I'm only missing AF speed and second card slot. Pretty happy with image quality. Ohh, maybe ISO64 and af mode shown on top screen would be also nice addition :)
Rici, they really need a menu option (i menu, multiple button press and hold, and or other) to lock the focus point.
Thanks for the video. Definitely in for a z7II in about half year later. I am rather curious about the image quality improvement (both jpg and raw) due to the dual processor and firmware imrovement. Would you compare the IQ of z7ii with z7 and D850 later?
Hi. Thanks for your work. Do you know what is a length cable limit for tethering shooting on z5, z6 and z6ii?
I'm really wanting to see how the animal eye-AF works with the Z6II and Z7 II because I"m seriously considering upgrading from my MFT to Full Frame on the Nikon system.
Hi, love the video. I just bought the Z7 II coming out from the D850. How can I see the aperture and shutter changes while looking a the back screen? I am an interior photographer and only use the back screen to compose and see the changes while combining the shutter, aperture, and ISO. Can't find this on the menu... Any suggestions?
Ricci, is this pixel mapping like the "dust off reference Photo" option that the D700 had, ie this measured the dust and removed it in the image processing stage, ie: prior to one doing a sensor clean.
I'll patiently wait for a bargain used Z7 to show up locally and the 50/1.2S. The update is mainly slots and AF stuff it seems, nothing I need personally.
Edit: split screen display zoom seems very useful... hmmm.
Split screen is available on the Z6 and Z7 too it’s been around since d850 I use it sometimes with Tilt shift lenses
@@RicciTalks Oh wow, thanks for letting me know. It's hidden under f1 and I missed that. So many options too, time to get rid of stuff I don't need.
Maybe I should read the manual... :/
I have a basic question that would apply to the Z6 or the Z6 ii. It has to do with image review. When i take a shot, using the viewfinder, the image review shows up in the viewfinder and I have to slightly push the shutter button to have it go away and take the next shot. Is there any setting that would have this camera act like my D850, and only show image review on the LCD, and not the viewfinder, if I am using the viewfinder for photographing. I know I could completely turn image review off, but I still like to "chimp" on the back screen once in a while, but I don't like that I have to clear it form the viewfinder to be able to compose and take my next shot. I am not sure I am being clear, but appreciate your advise. Thank you , and thank you for all of your informative videos.
Hey Ricci - great Video!
One question please. Concerning the mode "save Focus position".
Will the camera save the focus position for a lens even it was pulled off after saving the position and later after I have used several other lenses and I attach it again will the previous saved position still exist?
Good question I’ll check
@@RicciTalks Hi Ricci. Have you checked?
Thank you for the videos and info, z72 on order moving from D850. new Z setup looks very complicated, been checking out all your videos and subscribed. Any guide books anybody can recommend? take care
Awesome thanks for the super effective video. Could you let us know whether Z 6II/Z 7II can assign "AF area + AF-on" function to any custom button that can doable on D500 or D5? I really like that feature.
Thanks for the video Ricci! Did you record 8bit internal or are you exporting to Atomos?
Internal 8bit
@@RicciTalks And sound is via the lapel mic straight into the camera? There were some complaints about mic amp noise on the original Z6 - any noise (albeit with pre-production firmware) on the ii?
Hi, with extended shutter speed turn to on, will camera calculate exposure after 30" or only work as a timer? I mean, for example if you use 3 stops ND and ask for 8 ", if you change to a 10 stops ND, will the machine calculate time above 30"? And Brakting too? Thanks
Congrats on the race to 20k. Any chance the z6ii will ship with different kit lenses
Great video i have the z6 .. i would really like to see a video on taking pictures of birds in flight to see has the AF TRACKING is any good because as you know the z6 is not any good for this thanks
What about using the Ux settings? Any changes? On Z6/Z7 if you use Ux and do some temporary changes, they are reset to saved settings when the camera is turned off (more than 5 sek). On the D7x00, these temporary settings remained as long as the Ux dial is not changed.
hello, which bundle should i get z 6ii with the 24-70 f4s or the 24-200 vr?
Great video and really learned alot. Can you tell me how I can display Histogram while I am shooting on Z6 11
is it possible to have the ibis off in photo and on in video when you toggle back and forth?thanks
Any word on if the clean display and purely navigational changes will make their way to the original Z6/7 in a firmware update?
question i have 64gb and 128 gb Xqd card will that work on Z6 II and have to extreme pro older sd cards that are not second gen one will they work too.
Hey Ricci
Let us know if Really Right Stuff L- Plate for Nikon Z7 fit a new Z7 II
Hi Ricci, watch almost all your videos and I know you’ll probably be the best person to ask this question so here goes - For movie recording AF speed - does this also work for f-mount lenses (or is it only functioning correctly for Z lenses) ? And also the af fine tuning does this work for f-mount af/s lenses also ? Much appreciate your feedback thanks
When you choose the extended shutter speed, let’s say you choose 60 seconds, can you stop the shutter whenever you want like around 40 seconds etc? I’d like to know before I upgrade to Z7 II.
Thanks for the video! IS the a way to get rid of the red frame lines in the corners? I find it pretty distracting.
Hi Ricci,
Will these Z 6ii and Z 7ii remember and recall their drive mode even after going in standby or a restart? Like they do for Single , CL, CH. With my Z 6 it can't recall Timer after going in standby or a restart. Hope Nikon resolved that issue or atleast provide a similar option like "save focus position"... which can be called "recall timer" or something similar.
Hi, thanks for the video. One question. Does the Interval shooting mode with "interval autofocus" mode work well for self-portraits? I`m a lot in the mountains alone and i like to have some pictures standing in front of the camera :) My Sony System doesn't offer this feature and i consider switching to Canon or Nikon.
Great video Ricci - so insightful. A question related to the new bodies, that I cannot seem to find answered, even by Nikon. They made reference to superior dynamic range on the new Z7ii when compared to the Z7 - can you confirm if this is the case please? Will you being doing image quality comparison between the old and new? Thanks for your time mate.
I think the dynamic range of the Z7ii will be virtually the same compared to the Z7
@@mrsusan893 Yes you could be right, but Nikon sometimes make incremental improvements, so fingers crossed :)
Thank you for this great video! Can I transfer my settings for the Z 6 to the new Z II cameras, e.g. save them on the Z 6 on an XQD card and transfer the settings with this card to the Z 6 II?
Yes you can
Great!
Dis you have test if using a xqd or a cfexpress card makes any difference? (My new Z7ii is already ordered ;))
Have you done a video on video settings. How do I get more DOF when doing videos on Z 6 II?
3:46 About bracketing in that Interval Timer Shooting menu. I think, you have always been able to do that.
Just think they moved the option into the ITS menu.

Bracketing
Adjust bracketing settings before starting interval timer photography. If exposure, flash, or ADL bracketing is active while interval timer photography is in effect, the camera will take the number of shots in the bracketing program at each interval, regardless of the number of shots specified in the interval timer menu. If white balance bracketing is active while interval timer photography is in effect, the camera will take one shot at each interval and process it to create the number of copies specified in the bracketing program. Note that bracketing cannot be used during interval timer photography when On is selected for Interval priority.
Hi Ricci, Just recently got the Z 7, do you think Nikon will have another firmware update with some of the new software in the new versions, I am thinking of something simple like extending the 30 seconds maximum to the 15 minutes they will have on the version 2.
So the no info screen on live view is already on the new systems? I find it so much missing from my z series.
Would the older Z6 receive any firmware update in line with the Z6 II?
