I had a similar issue with a previous version. Bill on the website gave me this advice:
Exactly.
My menu banks are always set to on
The worst place for this function (for wildlife) as your hand is nowhere near that spot but is on the lens.
True, but still vs. toggle with another dial. and not all lenses are long....

. It doesn't matter if you shoot with a 70-200 of 100-400, you still need that hand to zoom and hold the lens.

To Quote:-
Which is true, but you are renaming or copying the entire bank, photo and video.
So the curious mystery continues since having the "extended menu banks turned on" was the only hint I could find in Nikons material as to why some cameras did not got to P as Nikon said they would.
This is why I still prefer Sony's control and ergonomic layout. Not only can I control everything I need with my right hand, it's also more consistent between cameras and doesn't' really on lens controls the may or not be on every lens.
Is it possible that whoever did the promo that shows up on Nikon USA web page promoting Seperate Shooting banks just wrote a confusing statement or was confused or whatever? I have seen headline and copy writers make statements that are quite different than the body of a story many times. If so this is a doozy.
Hmm. I find every control i need available to my shooting hand other then the ISO on the lens ring. I have never wanted or felt the need to use lens buttons on my Nikon DSLRs or my Z9
I can change my ISO on the Sony with the dial on the back with my right hand, allowing me to keep a finger on the manual focus ring, which is how I prefer to shoot. I find sometimes helping AF my getting it close manually is helpful. I use a bunch of different lenses, so each focus ring and control ring are at slightly different distances. It's nice to have everything in the same place on the Sony.
Make sure you're tapping the Menu button once everything is set or it won't lock in (LOL, ask me how I know)
Gosh, that was it indeed, thx a million Steven.
So, how did you know
On my Z9, when I set Mode to P, A, S, or M in the Photo shooting menu, that same mode is set when I switch to Video shooting mode, and vice-versa. I cannot simultaneously be in A in Photo and P in Video. Extended menu banks are set to ON in both Photo and Video shooting menus.
Quite possible. If the hardware architecture of the processor and bus controller is such that it’s nearly maxed out at 20 fps of lossless compressed data, then it’s a fixed limitation. Also if the the bus controller circuitry is embedded in the Expeed 7 chip (as I suspect it is, in order to have the best performance possible), an Expeed 8 processor will likely provide much improved data throughput.
The release cycle for professional film (SLR) cameras from Nikon was typically about every 8 years (on average). The release cycle for professional digital (DSLR) cameras from Nikon was about every 4 years. This means that we're not likely to see a Z9 II until the very end of 2025, with a Z8 II release date most likely a year to a year and a half later (late 2026/mid 2027). It's doubtful that we won't see any firmware updates between now and then.
