Welcome Maximus, I did catch your photos in the other post. (y) I still do have my 1970's Minolta XD-11 kit I purchased from a sheriff's auction about 28 years ago. Have 2 very old rolls of Kodak B/W film waiting to be run through that camera.

It requires installing SnapBridge on phone. A wifi connection to camera and not bluetooth is also mandatory with the earlier Z bodies. Often phones will drop the camera connection in favor of a wifi with internet. An adjustment with the phone settings helps.

Ummmm, yes?

Open SnapBridge on your phone and try in the app.

The bird was released 8 days ago, so it is an in-the-wild situation. It was an injured bird that is now healed.

A small story, could be in progress. I watched a TV news story last week prior to Thanksgiving of a peregrine falcon that had spent the past 2 months being rehabilitated in a special pen and was released into the wild at a local Audubon Society bird sanctuary. Easy drive to try to photograph. I...

OK, I am wrong on this.

I disagree about it being impossible to manually focus to a sharp image in the viewfinder with the diopter off adjustment. My understanding is the diopter is a focus adjustment for the viewfinder image, broken to the simplest concept. Each time I had blur from manual focus, it was from...

I do not have one of these cameras yet, so I cannot answer that with confidence. But I have watched the phenomenon explained in videos. It interests me knowing someday I would be looking to buy a body with stacked sensor.

For all future readers, just let the autofocus do it's thing, then without touching the focus ring on the lens, move the diopter adjustment wheel until your image is focused in the viewfinder. @Hue certainly your D810 diopter wheel is out of spec. What's a person gonna do?

It should be from the stacked sensor. What is happening is the light is changing as the image is read off of the sensor. Stacked sensors read multiple zones at the same time instead of scanning the entire sensor top to bottom in one large inclusive scan. So the banding is the change of light...

Camera can find focus fine, so it must be either your eye(s) or the diopter. Diopter is for fixing human eyesight problems. FYI: 20/20 is not perfect eyesight. It's a reference for normal eyes. When you get fitted for glasses at an optometrist they typically try to get your vision corrected to...

Best test them in camera now and see if you get the message about 3rd party batteries on the display. The camera is very new so the battery manufacturer may not have been able to re-code the chip for the Z6III yet. Nikon does lock out the camera from use if it detects the wrong battery chip. I...

I think he is describing the F mount body cap won't twist off. It has to be turned clockwise, which might be what is confusing him.

Twist the other way?

An obsolete PC will have to use obsolete software. Picasa 3 has not been developed for the last 10 years and can still be downloaded. I used to use it until Google dropped it's support. https://picasa.en.softonic.com/ Ps: I am still running the same PC I bought 14 years ago, but I have it...

A couple of recent additions to my other hobby, collecting watches. Z5, Z MC 105mm f/2.8, plus 2 Z-mount extension rings. And a time-lapse of another watch without the extension rings.

I am trying to select my 2025 calendar photos and this one is on the "maybe" list for me. Taken at a power plant's discharge pond that is perennially foggy.
