Took some photos and saw 3 "dots" on photo. Cleaned lens, still there. I pulled lens and can see two of them. I tried camera's sensor cleaner, no better. I heard nothing during cleaning. Is this normal? I'm hesitant to use cleaning "swab" because Im afraid of scratching the sensor.is that a...

Oh, OK. That makes sense. Thank You.

Checked, and firmware now on the FTZ is 1.0 Update is to 1.1 I downloaded, ran the .EXE to pull the update file. I copied to root of the CF card. When I go to the camera and select firmware, only Done and Delete Firmware Update files are available. Auto Update greyed out. I double checked...

I found the solution. Focus Limiter setting was on. Turned it off, manual focus options.work. Turned it back on, they didn't. I didn’t this affected manual focus.

I just tried camera with Nikon 200-500mm, same issue, no halo, no dot between arrows.

Nikon 24-120 f4 f mount

I've shot manual in the past, no problems. Today when I set camera for manual (and the lens as wel) I don't get the colored "halo", and in the viewfinder lower left between the focus arrows don't get the dot when focused. Lens is Nikon 24-120 f4 f mount Switch on lens set to manual and setting...

On my Z6III I have the MB-N14. Would like to program the AF-ON button the same as the AF-ON button on the camera, which is set up for back focus. I set it for AF-ON or Same as AF-ON and it isn't focusing. I tried to program the Vertical multi selector for Select center focus point and it...

Try back button focus. Normally camera will focus when shutter release is half way depressed. With back button you can set focus, re-compose and what you focused on remains in focus.

You can set camera to record Raw on one memory card and JPEG on the other. You can set camera to record RAW on one memory card and JPEG on the other. If the JPEG is good, use that. If exposure, white balance or something else needs changing, you have the raw file you can modify.

Yes, technology has made some aspects of photography easier, but the skill of the photographer is paramount. If one doesn't understand posing and hasn't mastered lighting, and doesn't know how to compose, they won't be a good wedding photographer.

I use a Z6III with Nikon's 200-500. Works well. I Shoot a lot of birds and wildlife. It is supposed to focus slowly but I've never had a problem. The 180-600 Z mount gets a lot of great reviews. It is a bit expensive. If you can afford it I'd go with 180-600.

Taken with Z6III in Auto Capture. Nikkor 200-500 at 360mm, 1/1000, f14.

Shooting in a church, and it's dark. Autofocus doesn't work well, so going manual. On Z6III Focus Peaking, which sensitivity setting works best in dark, 1, 2 or 3? Thanks.

I charged both EN-EL15C batteries last week in a charger. After a week in the bag both batteries show 93% charge. Decided to try charging in the MB-N14. Charger has USB- C port. After 48 hours battery A is at 100% but battery B is still 93%. I understand A charges first, then B. Questions...
