nikon z8

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...

Has anyone heard if Nikon will be addressing the overheating issue in camera shooting mode? I experienced this (yes it was hot outside), but only taking small bursts of like 5pfs maybe 10fps. And not for like 10 or 20 at a time.

Hello all: I received my new Z8 on Friday and it's a beast! I am super happy with it. I went out and took some RAW shots, but was unable to view them in Apple Photos. When I download the files, I can clearly see the thumbnails, but the images are blank . The file info is there showing the...

What's the best sd card to use in the backup slot in the z8? I'll use this card for overflow only when my cfexpress card fills up. Ideally a fast card that doesn't get hot. The card doesn't have to be huge since I'm not using it as my primary card and I have multiple cfexpress cards I can use.

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...

Hey everyone, As most of us Nikon shooters especially wildlife shooters are not too happy with Z cameras, I feel we should list some of the specs/features we crave for so that we get a feel of what people want the most! Here is mine. I will call it Z8. 1) 33 MP BSI full frame sensor...
