This shoutout for 3D tracking in the D6 by Jeffrey Wu only came to my attention yesterday; this prompted by his report on PP Z9 images of high ISOs... This is a repost of his D6 promo video. Previously I was only aware of Moose Peterson reporting on the the major improvement in D6 subject tracking - using AI to focus on grouse and sheep [correction, Moose was endorsing Auto-AF mode in the D6 using Custom GroupAF with Eye-detection turned on, and also AutoAF]
I've singled this out here because 1. Nikon presumably used the underlying AI algorithm from the Z9, and 2. Nikon can be relied on be infallible about failing to spell out the benefits and intricacies of what-under-the-hood, in their cameras especially!
Underreporting and Under-explaining how their flagship autofocus works defines a thread in the DNA of this infuriating company!!!!
