Pre-Release Capture in Z9 really works

RAW ???

I thought RAW was not available in Pre-release at all? My Z8 only shoots NORMAL in Pre-release.

I was referring to images above which were not shot using precspture
Initial images with precapture that I posted were jpeg

Excellent shots and wonderful demo of pre capture!

And my question was related to when using pre-release. Adjusting your Picture Control settings for desired jpg outcome.

I believe Pre-release is all JPG. It looks like C30 is JPG Normal Large (Z9). I have not looked into the new C15 with the Z9 new firmware update.

I have long wanted Pre-Release capture. On previous trips to Africa, I have tried numerous times to capture the beautiful lilac breasted roller as it flew off its perch, never getting a good result as the bird is so fast. Here I am today in Botswana and we found a lilac breasted roller. I was at some disadvantage, as I was using a 600mm lens in Dx mode, hand held, and the vehicle had started to move when the bird flew. And lighting was not perfect. Here are the results. Not the sharpest image and I did do some sharpening using Topaz Photo AI.
