Not anymore C120 option on my Z9

[Jean-Pierre]

Hi, since I updated my Z9 to V5 (or sometimes before because I don't use that a lot), I have not anymore the C120 option, it stops at the C60 one.
Any idea of the reason ? Does it come from V5 ? Or is it not compatible with another option ?
Steve, I went through your updated book (which is a so usefull source of info for me) but I didn't find any reason
Thanks, any idea welcome !

Hello Jean-Pierre. Do you have a DX lens attached to your camera? If so, the maximum high speed option will be C60. If you have a full frame lens attached, I’m not sure why you’re not see the C120 option.

Hi JA, thanks for your quick answer !
Unfortunately when I noticed that I was with a 400/4,5. I is the same with the 70-200/2,8 and without lens. I also checked in the menu that my picture size was set to FX Large.
So the mystery is still there ...

Do you have the dial on the top left of the camera on high or H? You need to turn that so it's all the way on the last option to the right for that dial.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Yes Eric, the dial is on the last position on the right, every option (including C15, C30, C60) is avalaible but C120 ...

Jean-Pierre, I’ve thought about this and I’m baffled. I hope someone on BCG has an answer!

Don't you have to be in JPG and not NEF + JPG. Maybe the NEF setting is affecting the camera

Just check the Shooting / Display d3: Limit Release Mode Selection setting to see if all the modes your require i.e. C15, C30, C60 and C120 are selected.
