nikon z9

EDIT: Bought a Nikon battery Hi all, Does anyone have any experience of good 3rd-party battery/dual charger brands? I'm looking for a spare battery for my Z9. Or, is it just worth the extra 40-50% cost to buy first-party? Thanks.

[EDITED] This appears to be new; Nikon has added since I downloaded the new Suppl Manual for Z9 FW 5.0 a few days ago It's bit skint compared to @Steve 's books ;) However, it confirms yet again Nikon is branching out from a central emphasis on designing products for Sports photography into...

Hello everyone. I'm fairly new to the Z9, coming off a Z7ii, Z6, D800, D300, etc. I used to be a card reader guy with all my digitals but I've recently moved over to using the Z9's ethernet port for my transfers. It seems easier, it's automated, and it helps to minimize/eliminate the wear and...

I am not experienced at all when it comes to shooting with flashes. I started, however, some trials with shooting night active animals and I am using two remote flashes (Profoto). Would you mind sharing your experiences with the settings in the Z9 - or similar - as to exposure compensation (e3)...

One of the raptors I encounter the most in Kruger is the brown snake eagle. Shot with the Z9 @840mm f/5.6 (thx for highlighting my typo) and ISO 8000 (denoise through LR). It was another grey day and brought the saturation up in the sky to get a bit of blue in it.

Pench Oct 2023 Z9, Nikon Z mount 100-400, f/5, 200mm, 1/500, ISO 12800, NR in Lightroom Enhance

It was a bad day for photography, heavily cloudy and grey ruled the sky. Did it stop me from going out and shooting? Absolutely not. It was on such a day that this black-chested snake eagle flew over and did the FM4.1 with bird-AF on the Z9 with the 600mm f/4 TC locked nicely on the bird.

To those of you Nikon shooters that have switched to mirrorless lenses, I'd like to hear what your experience has been. I'm using F mount lenses with a FTZ2 on a Z9 and the camera hasn't quite lived up to what I expected. It seems the connection between some lenses and the FTZ adaptor isn't...

Hi, I can't seem to figure out one thing... Z9 AF-C AF-ON set to 3D Fn1 set to Wide C2 Sub Selector Center set to Wide L Custom Setting A6 menu AF Activation set to AF-ON only Photo Shooting Menu AF-area mode set to 3D So, shutter will NEVER set focus. When I push AF-ON I get 3D...

Hi all, I am a new member on this forum from the UK. I want some advice from you guys. I am going on a Costa Rica trip in April next year. I have a choice of buying a Nikon D850 and a D5 both used for the trip. Downside is that this delays my move to mirrorless and would mean I would then have...

Hello! Today I have Nikon D850 and D500 with a 500 PFE lens. I'm thinking to upgrade to a z8. I also dream of the 600 mm lens.... But I heard the z9 is a better combo with the 600 mm because of a better balance between the lens and the camera. Anyone that have experinces with z8 together with...

When using the Z9, in camera mode, the Live View is black. Live View, in video mode, shows the scene being viewed. I tried toggling through the three options for viewing the image, by using the button on the left side of the viewfinder, and cleaning the viewfinder sensor with no luck. When I...

Hi all, I've come from a D7500 and before that a D5000 - my workflow had just been to import via USB SD card reader with LrC. Now I've zoomed forward in time to the latest model and have no idea which way of importing is 'best'! Direct camera -> PC connection via the USB-C cable would be my...

This review is fairly detailed, with a longer version including the Nauticam Housing https://www.divephotoguide.com/underwater-photography-special-features/article/temperate-waters-nikon-z9-nauticam-housing...

I downloaded 4.0, read the manual and cannot get the Auto Capture to work. Here is what happens: Auto Capture shows up in the Photo Shooting Menu, clicking on that and clicking on the "start" with the "OK" button the camera goes into recording. The problem is I cannot get to the Auto Capture...

While I typically have a longer lens on the Z9 that has its own Henjar foot, I'm finding I need the ability to put the Z9 directly on the tripod. I don't believe I want to go with an L bracket, they seem bulky and awkward, although I've not actually used one. So for me at least, I'm looking...

Good morning. Should I sell the Z7ii or keep it? Before I’m selling the Z7ii, I want to double check that my landscape shots that make it to wall prints will be just as good - from a perfectionist point, taken with a Z9/8 sensor, with the same lens of course. I know I’m using the Z9 in...

Hello all, still trying to finetune my new Z9, does anyone have a Nikon Z9 Settings Spreadsheet firmware 3.0 or greater that they would like to share?

Got to photograph a small group of Mountain Bluebirds today (first time for me) - they're just passing through the Lower Mainland on the way to breed in south-central British Columbia. :) Z9 + 800PF. Mountain Bluebird by Luke S, on Flickr Mountain Bluebird by Luke S, on Flickr Mountain...
