So I will take my time to learn one item at a time. Nobody explains the functions like you do and for that, you're the best online teacher for my Z6II.

@MaartenHeilbron 3 года назад

Thank you, that's very kind. I hope to be able to borrow a Z6II soon to do a review.

@AlexvanNoije 2 года назад

@Hisham. I film a lot with the Z6 II and some AF-S 200-400 VR II with the FTZ. My experience is that when you are following a moving object, that the camera produces some micro focus jumps all the time. Soon I will go for a native z lens when it will enter the market. Think these old lenses were never made for making video I guess?

@d-entrecasteaux 2 года назад

Thanks Maarten. I've just bought a used Z6 and this has been very helpful as an orientation. You always seem to find menu options I've never discovered. One thing I found is manual focus can be simply achieved by turning the focus ring even in AF modes. I haven't however discovered how to save different drive modes to the U1-U3 positions. It seems U1-U3 can save video setting as well. In all a total of 6. Tap to focus seems to use contrast detect AF which I found isn't very suitable for video. Moving the white tracking focus box around with the thumbstick (without activating the tracking yellow box) while recording video seems to give smoother pull-focus results. Auto-area AF and AF-F together work well for faces but Wide-area seems to work better for everything else. I won't remember everything you taught but I'll use your lesson to optimize solutions for my needs. Thank you again for providing such a wealth of very well presented knowledge. It's a gift.

Great summary! I may have missed it in your video, but many reviewers are suggesting assigning Fn1 (front of Z body) to initiate the tracking (works as a toggle to turn tracking on and off). Also liberating like assigning focus to the lens function button...

@TRICCIO1000 4 года назад

As always, a fantastic video. I think you are one of the best instructors on the net. Focusing is one of my biggest problems with the Z6. I've been using Nikon since I'm 18 and I'm now 71 and a professional photographer. I know how to shoot and I know the focus menus I thought, but keep watching more videos to see what I'm doing wrong. I shoot a lot in restaurants or night clubs where there is dim light, certainly not dark but dimmer than normal. I usually use flash. The focus always searches. When I use my 28-300 it constantly searches focus terribly. I have NEVER had this problem with my D-750, D-300 or D-800. What am I having this problem? No one seems to know, not Nikon for sure. I sent the camera back to them before the warranty ended and they checked it out and it still does the same thing. If anyone can enlighten me on this please do. Also, that green focus assist light for low light is useless. They have disabled the infrared light beam coming from the flash unit which always gave me accurate focus in low light situations. What the heck were they thinking? At least give us a choice whether to use the infrared or green assist light. To eliminate it completely is just stupid. Maarten, if you are reading this, please shed some light on this if you can. Email me at ithoughtaboutyou@gmail.com. Thanks, Tony

@MaartenHeilbron 4 года назад

Thanks, I appreciate your kind words. I do have little experience with flash photography, so not sure I can help - however it's nice to know I have your confidence. I assume you're using the 28-300 with the FTZ adapter, and appreciate that there is no Z mount equivalent. Let's hope that a native lens would not have the same issues. I have no suggestions to improve this. The green autofocus light seems to work for me - although I've not been shooting in the kinds of situations you describe. If it's working nicely with the D750, then I'd probably stay with that. Otherwise, would manual focus work? Sorry that this is probably not much help.

@ohreally1013 4 года назад

Thanks Buddy!! As always, so well put together. I truly wish that the AF (speed) would actually pull focus slower or faster - would be so great for short-film shoots when it’s tossed on my gimbal and don’t feel like hooking up the entire FF system. However, one thing that I found works about 90% of the time on my Z6; which is to push and HOLD on the lcd and it seems to slow down pulling focus between subjects... Great job bud! And to whoever down-voted this video: You’re a pompous ass just having a bad day. Keep up the good work Maarten!!!!

@MaartenHeilbron 4 года назад

Right. I did wonder if I was mis-interpreting and it's only meant for following objects, not racking focus. Still, would be a nice setting to have. Thanks for the tip, I'll try that. And, of course, thanks for the kind words.

Glad you enjoyed it. Anne is a very useful prop, as she seems to engage the eye/face detect on nearly all cameras and sits still more nicely than most models.
