nikon z8

I'm currently shooting with Olympus/OMDS gear. I like the gear, no issue there. My main concern is that they aren't going to be able to keep up. Also, I have damn near every piece of glass I could possibly want which is keeping me from experiencing the joy of GAS. That said I've been looking...

I have a Z8 and in Focus>Limit AF Area mode, I unchecked a couple of Dynamic Area modes. However, when I cycle through the AF Area Modes, they all show up — even the unchecked ones. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Following up on my post in a few threads, I have now had official recognition from Nikon that I was right and that autocapture will not work in manual focus mode on the Z8. The e-mail said: I'm reaching out to you as a follow-up to the ongoing case you have with us at Nikon support. We have...

I've been planning a Z8 as a replacement for my Z7. Now the Z6iii has me wondering. I shoot mostly landscape, travel, and macro, but am starting to get into wildlife. I like some of the features of the Z6iii but don't really want to go back to 24MP. But if I did, I'm not sure what I'd be missing...

Hello all, It has been a few years since I last posted. But COVID-19 and a side swipe by a Drunk Driver sidelined my Photography for a few years. I'm now raring to go and have a simple question. I purchased the Z7 in May of 2020, and besides Autofocus Issues, it is not a bad camera, in my...

My Z9 is in te shop. I was able to change the JPEG quality in Pre-release from Norm to Fine. I can' recall what I did t accomplish that. I just bought a Z8 and have it 98% set up. I selected 30fps toactivate Pre-release and the default is JPEG Norm. I can't figure out wnat I did with the Z9 to...

Greetings, hopefully this post reaches some photographers that use studio strobes, although it is not usual for wildlife photogrhy. I alternate between wildlife landscape and studio portrait where I use external strobes. I used to shoot D850 and a basic pocket wizard was working fine to fire off...

Greetings! Would you happen to know of a QR plate that is Arca-Swiss, and can accommodate the RS-4 on the tripod foot of the NIkkor Z 180-600 f/5.6-6.3 telephoto zoom? (My current thought would be to replace my existing Promaster QR plate 7083 with yours…except that it must have 2 screws that...

Ever since my Nikon z8 was upgraded to firmware version 2.0, the f stop seems to change on its own. With my 100 – 400 mm lens and my 1.4 teleconverter, it can be from f/6.3 to f/8, But from time to time, with no input from me, the f stop will change to a dramatically higher setting, as high as...

Hi all! I'm an amateur wildlife photographer & I've been shooting a d500 for 5 years now, with a 200-500 & a 600 f4. Lately I've been attempting to get more environmental/loose compositions of my subjects, and I often feel that I'm beginning to push up against what a crop sensor can feasibly do...

[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...

We were parked on the Sambar Road hoping to see a tigress by the name of Pedwali (the one who climbs trees) and her cubs who were in the bushes with a kill. We could hear them eating and playing. Two plus hours later she and the cubs had still not graced us with their presence. Suddenly someone...

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if it's possible to keep the Nikon Z8 EVF showing a 'live feed' of the scene whilst you're in the focus shift menu? I mostly shoot macro subjects with the camera handheld and sometimes find that, once you've composed the scene, gone into the focus shift menu and...

I noticed that the Z8 is noisier than my old D500 at ISO 400. When I looked up how the noise performance of the Z8 is against the D500 (see attached chart which confirms high level of noise at low ISO) I came aware of the dual gain sensor behavior. Looking at the chart I am now convinced I do...

Their answers cover several relevant topics, including the design of the 135 f1.8S Plena and 180-600, and comments on current Z cameras, including Auto Capture https://www.phileweb.com/sp/interview/article/202311/29/959.html

3 Sub-Adult Leopard siblings on the verge of separation. Still trying to hone their hunting skills. 2 seen here. 1 was hiding in the bush. Pench - Oct 2023 Z8, 500mm PF, f/5.6, 1/250, ISO 12800, NR in Lightroom Enhance

Maybe I found a bug but I have two Z8 bodies, (plus a 3rd one that a friend has) one of my Bodies will not go to the ISO Lo1.0 in full manual mode or any of the other modes. I am not using AUTO ISO. I can go to the settings and set it at LO1.0 but when I release the ISO button it pops back to...

I've always used RRS L-brackets for my cameras. Due to a lack of availability of any RRS option, I tried a Kirk replacement foot for my 400mm f4.5, and I've liked it. B&H just let me know that RRS and Kirk L-brackets for the Z8 are now in stock. Have any of you tried both Kirk and RRS for...

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...
