What’s your favourite Nikon hack or shortcut?
This was very helpful, thanks! Favourie was to scroll trough playback, instead op the ok button.
That’s awesome to hear. Thanks for commenting.
Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks! What a difference they make. Appreciate it!
Super glad to hear that. Thank you :)
Very helpful setup information Ralph, thank you for posting this one! Have a great day !
Super appreciate this comment. Thank you 🙏
Really helpful, particularly the back button focus, thank you
Stoked to hear that. Thanks.
Great video. I specially liked the Speed Preview Scroll with Shutter Dial.
Thanks heaps legend.
Yes thank you 😊
Thanks for this information... this will definitely come in handy
So good to hear mate 🙌
excellent !! Thanks so much.
Awesome to hear. Thanks.
Very helpful, thanks heaps Ralph, all the best Kris.
Glad it was helpful! Cheers Kris.
I'm learning a lot from you're videos thank you 😊 🙏🏼
That’s awesome to hear.
Thank you, very helpful
Stoked to hear that. Thanks.
5. Re-center Focus Point: I use the OK button for magnification in both shooting and preview. You can simply press the joystick (that moves the focus point) to re-center the focus point. I think it's a shame to have the same function on two buttons that sit right next to each other. And I like watching your videos as they are entertaining and informative.
Thanks mate. Since your comment I've made my joystick 200% magnification while shooting and my OK still as re-centre. It's really cool. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video !
Thanks so much. That’s awesome.
Thanks for the helpful tips. My favorite hack is using the center of the joystick as my af-on. I use the joystick to position the focus point and then press to focus.
Thanks Jim. Yeah that is a really good one. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent and very helpful.
So good to hear :)
Holy cats! So helpful! Thank you~
So good to hear!!
Thank you! Great!!!
So good to hear!
Thanks man
My pleasure.
Really great thanks a lot
Thanks so much. Glad I could offer something helpful :)
Great stuff. I love how customizable these mirrorless bodies are! Subject Tracking activation has a permanent home on Fn2 for me. You’ve given me some new ideas that I’ll try today, thanks!
Thanks so much Craig. Oh yes, that’s a good one. I use my OK button when shooting on the Z5 and Z6 to switch on the tracking.
@@RalphMayhewPhotography Thanks a lot for this video. I'll try all the settings. I just bought the Nikon Z5 and I love it already. I have a question. Can you tell me how can I save the files in RAW and JPG format? I tried to do it but it doesn't work. According to the camera it would save in one card RAW and the other one JPG, but it didn't. I'd appreciate a lot if you could help me. Regards❤
Hi @@carolinamaristad9369 You need to go to MENU - PHOTO SHOOTING MENU - IMAGE QUALITY - NEF (RAW) + JPEG fine, that should do the trick :)
@@RalphMayhewPhotography You just saved me, thanks a lot! I just did it, but it was 2 identical options but the one had a star... what does it mean? I already set my camera with the tricks you mentioned. I can't wait to use it. Hugs😘😘😘
Glad to hear it :) Image quality options with a star next to them use compression intended to ensure maximum quality; the size of the files varies with the scene. Options without a star use a type of compression designed to produce smaller files; files tend to be roughly the same size regardless of the scene recorded.
Hi Ralph, thanks for your extremely helpful comments! My Z5 however doesn't save these custom settings, exiting the menu does not suffice. I might have to consult the manual ...
Really?!?! That’s unusual. Do you mean that you can’t get the settings to register or that once you turn it off it all resets to how it was?
One that I have setup is to use the video record button to change the metering mode by holding down the button and using the back scroll wheel to change it whilst in stills mode.
Oh that’s a good one.
Ralph why when I focus on the Z5 do I get a green dot in the middle of the focus box and sometimes I don't? I'm in AF-S and Wide area (small).
im actually doing almost same setting 😊 ❤
Awesome job.
Was that helpful? YES! and short and sweet.
Epic! Thanks mate.
This video was helpful. Question: with the Nikon 5Z is there a way to use an IPhone 15 plus to take shots by Blue tooth and not use the button?
Yep. There’s a couple of apps. One from Nikon and one other. Both aren’t super reliable as connectivity can drop in and out but they may be worth persisting with :)
👍
🙏
In the dial review, you can use the front to jump every 10 photos
Yes good call. Thanks 👏
For the Z5 audio settings, can you select mic level as well as line level for the mic port? Thanks mate.
No. You can’t change line in audio on the camera.
I own the Nikon Z5 and am using the Nikon Z 24-200 lens. On some occasions, horizontal grey lines appear in the shot when shooting a subject against a light beige background. I wish that I could include the image that I'm writing about to give you a better idea of what it looks like. I don't understand what is causing this. Is it from the lens, camera or wrong settings? F/4-6.3 VR, 44mm, auto (ISO51200), 1/800's, elec shutter, F6.3, OEV-incandescent. Thanks for any help in this. Roger
Hey Roger. Have you googled the issue? I’ve not heard of it before. I wonder if there’s a specific issue with your camera?
Yeah scrolling with the control wheels is my favorite thing, I don't know why it's off by default
I am so with you on that!!!
I have nikon d3500 it old and also pre-intery camera but still give me amazing photos I bought z5 from two day but I compare between two cameras photo you know d3500 still strong question is what is this camera to give me this resulted although in very low light with kit lens ... Plz answer me waiting you
Hi Mate, I’m sorry I’m not sure what question you’re asking.
@@RalphMayhewPhotography sorry if my question is not clear but what I want to say nikon d3500 still stronger more than Z5 I am chocked ... Nikon d3500 has secret I search about it but not find to be better than any camera I used before .. do you pas like that before old camera comes better than new one?
Just because a camera is new. Doesn’t mean it’s better than an older one that works for you 👍
It's not that your video is bad, I just knew all of these already, so they sound a bit basic to me. Was expecting some next-level customizations but I'm afraid this is as far as we can go with Nikon. I wish I could program an Fn button to lock into eye tracking mode while holding the button, similar to what Sony cameras have been doing for... quite a while now...
Yeah I hear ya. More versatility and control would be so good!
2. Speed Preview: On the rear wheel scroll but one image at a time and on the front 10 images at a time. I don't think you got that right in the video.
Hi Peter, I checked it and think the vid was correct.
