First, thanks for your helpful videos. I have a fairly specific question. Once you have set up the camera for prerelease can you start it with a wireless remote? For example currently you can ser up a camera to capture pics of home plate by prefocusing and then switching to manual. When you press the remote (pocket wizard) the camera fires. Can the Z9 be set to continuously prerecord one seconds worth of pictures until it receives a signal from a remote and then fire an additional one second burst?
Hi Joseph. Thanks for this. I got my Z9 about two weeks ago and have upgraded the firmware to version 2.0. Loving the camera but failed to get this Pre/Post release facility to work. I tried following your recommendations - set the image capture to JPEG Fine, switched on Pre Release with 1.0 sec and Post to 3.0 secs. Set the dial to continuous shooting but focussed on the subject using half shutter depressed and back-button focus for the focussing. When the subject moved I pressed the shutter release the rest of the way and the camera fired a burst but the images stored did not include any pre or post shutter images. I can't see what I have omitted. I tried several times but with the same result on each case so there must be something else to set first.
Don't worry. I have found the solution. I knew it was staring me in the face but couldn't see it. Of course you need to use the button on the mode dial to select the 30 / 120 fps frame rate. I was trying to do it in the menus but that was limited too 20fps so the PRE wasn't taking effect.
Joe do u ever use the 60fps or 120fps for still shooting. Used it once for baseball when I first got my Z9. Otherwise it just takes too many pictures to deal with, I guess a good problem to have. I usually shoot at the 20fps in jpeg for sports.
I am just wondering whether you can map the pre release capture feature to a single function button instead of having to reach to turn the dial every single time.
Easy Question: Customizing the size of the box is easy in C1, C2. Question is how do you move the box to far left, right, top or bottom? No videos on this yet, nor any instruction I can find with Nikon. In addition, there is no "?" mark to get an explanation.
So these new focus boxes move the same as all the others - just use the command dial on the back of the camera when shooting with one of these selected.
