nikon z9

This might have been shared here previously, but worth a refresh in any case. Here's a neat solution using a custom Picture Control file, which was shared on dpr close to 2 years ago. It should work on any Zed camera, and obviously will show if a blinky(ies) rears its head when shooting RAW For...

Obscure and informative, and these articles were republished recently [22 December] by Nikon Imaging from 'Cameraholics extra issue 100 Percent Mastering The Nikon Z9" by Hobby Japan. The engineers confirm the reasons why the camera has several distinct features to maximize performance and...

I recently purchased a Z9 / FTZ II kit and have found that when I mount the only 2 AF-S lenses I own (a 500 PF and 105 2.8 Micro) onto the FTZ / Z9, a motor like sound starts running. I initially was calling it a grinding sound, but believe it's more like motor sound now. AF is not active...

I have only completed a very few vids for posting on YouTube, and am "having" to use DaVinci Resolve 18 (Studio) ["DVR18"] so I can "film" in 12-bit Nikon RAW (or multiple vid types) and I have discovered that when I choose to "Deliver" using the YouTube preset in DVR18 the video quality looks...

My first trip to Africa was a stunner. Finished up with 5 Leopards in three days. Took more bird images than I expected. What I learned as a rookie is that the sun and animals cooperate as my two Hooligan Bengal cats at home. The land is theirs. Was interesting to note that our tracker was...

Two of the usual suspects at the local city lake.

Focus Persistence holds & transfers the active point of Autofocus - such that it is inherited between AFmodes - so one can switch AF mode without losing the subject. First, this feature automatically detects and focuses on the subject, and hands off the acquired, active focus to a different AF...

Nikon has added a "Full Format" option for compatible CFexpress memory cards. According to page 30 of the supplemental reference guide, this option deletes data from all areas of the card. The guide suggests using this option if one notices a drop in speed at which data are read or written to...

First post here. Curious if you have a preference on the first image cropped or not (second images showing full impact on water)? Any other commentary welcome. Taken at the Gilbert Riparian Preserve. EDIT - I SEE THAT EXIF ISN'T DISPLAYED FOR IMAGES LINKED FROM IMGBB. HAVE TO FIGURE THAT...

Coming back from an rip to Africa with the Nikon Z9 I noticed a lot of my zebra photos with the Z9, with different lenses (Z- and F-mount) have moire like artefacts in them. This can be seen on different parts of the animals. (screenshots of un-edited photos - Left LR Camera neutral, Right Nikon...

I found this branch and really wanted to photograph it with a bird. It took over 3 hours before I got my photo. Shot with the Nikon Z9 and 800mm PF.

I found this branch and really wanted to photograph it with a bird. It took over 3 hours before I got my photo, but I think it was worth the wait 😊 Shot with the Nikon Z9 and 800mm PF.

Hi to everyone, I recently saw on YouTube a post from Nikon Europe about cleaning the Z9 body to give it his as new aesthetics. They use the Kent all purpose foam cleaner to do so. This product come from Europe and is not available in Canada. Do anybody knows a similar product who would safely...

Hi Community , I got my Z9 last month and have probably charged the included EN-EL18d battery less than 10 times. I've noticed that the last lights on the MH-33 charger never keep a continue lit, even if left charging for many hours -- instead, it reaches a state where the 50% and 80% charge...

This link is shared in the long official Z9 thread, but many Nikonians will probably agree it deserves a dedicated thread. They must have invested months of work in their testing and writing. https://photographylife.com/reviews/nikon-z9

This merlin caught a large dragonfly for dinner.

I happen to own both the Stubby AF-S 200mm f/2.0 G VRII ED, all 3 TCs and a Z9 - In response to a question I performed a simple test - NO TC, 1.4TC, 1.7TC, 2.0TC. The first 3 shots were taken at 3.9m and the final one (with the 2 times TC) at 4.47m to ensure the test target was in the frame...

This morning I saw 4 or 5 of those drinking from a patch of flowers. :)

Saw this beautiful bird (perched pretty high) during my evening walk today. :)
