Hi folks,
I have a brand new Z8 and when I used it for the first time I experienced something unexpected. Here's how the camera was set up.
Manual mode with auto ISO selected. Maximum ISO set to 12800. The lens was a brand new 180-600 and was set to 600mm. Back focus was programmed. No exposure compensation. Bracketing was not enabled. Firmware is 2.0 Frame rate was set to 10 fps. The focus system was set to 3D. Metering was set to spot.
I was photographing ducks on a pond and every time I pressed the shutter release the first exposure was properly exposed on the first shot, but with each successive photo it became more and more over exposed. I tried this multiple times with the same result every time. After 4 or 5 frames the image was at least 3 stops over exposed.
This is extremely weird behavior which I have never seen before on any of my other Nikon cameras (D850, D810, D7200). Hopefully someone on this forum has seen this behavior and has a solution. If I have not provided enough information then please let me know and I'll add whatever info is needed to solve this.
Also, if anyone knows of a Nikon Z8 forum where I can post this question (outside of this one) I would appreciate it.
Cheers,
