Don't have a Z6, but I think I would be trying out "Only when flash is not used". Having a live view of exposure real-time is an advantage for mirrorless bodies.

Electrically an intervalometer is a switch that activates the shutter release. Difference from a shutter release cable is that the release cable requires you to hold the release button in bulb mode and time the exposure with your own clock and fingers. The intervalometer has it's own timer...

An intervalometer that plugs into the remote shutter release connector of the camera, or else tether the camera to a PC by USB cable and use an app like DigiCamControl. The intervalometer option is versatile and not that expensive. You can use it to make time-lapse series also, which is the...

I have purchased used from KEH and investigated selling lenses to them. They make it much easier and less risky than ebay. But ultimately I just sell or trade in gear to my local camera store and try to keep them in business. Your maximum sale potential will be with Facebook marketplace I...

LiveView should be just a button or maybe a lever on back of camera. You still can use the screen for menu options. What LiveView does is raise the mirror and open the shutter and behaves like it does while while shooting video. The viewfinder becomes blocked and features/operation change. That...

Exit LiveView. AF-continuous is only available with phase detect which is detected off-sensor. AF-A makes no sense if AF-C is not available. Thus you are seeing all autofocus options available for LiveView.

Does your options become correct when you leave "Scene" mode and try Aperture Priority mode perhaps?

...you have a Brownie that is not edible.

...if you keep dropping your glass plate negatives and breaking them.

It is something I unexpectedly discovered, but my Z5 will not allow shooting a time-lapse in M mode. You have to use an autoexposure mode. But my D750 will happily do the same time-lapse in M mode. Or just tether the Z5 and problem solved. DigiCamControl has improved slowly over the years. Yes...

They may be tethered to a laptop computer and controlled by software. And "tethered" can be done with WiFi on Z-series cameras. DigiCamControl even overcomes the time-lapse limitations in Nikon Z models that prevent using Manual mode. Nikon NX Tether DigiCamControl - I actually use this for my...

Best for specific macro work might be one of those LED ring lights. But it is kind of a 2-trick pony, if you count the amateurish use for portraits that is so fashionable now. But the cost is often low. Otherwise, you can read whole books about different speedlights, advantages of each, and...

I have bought 3 EN-EL15 batteries from Wasabi over the years and have not been disappointed with them until I bought my Z5. The Z-bodies have a stricter battery check and rejects the aftermarket batteries. That is until I started reading the reviews today and discovered they updated the battery...

Getting really obscure here: Is the camera connected to any device by the USB cable when this problem is happening? Try the obvious and disconnect it. I also believe the camera will still display information with the SD card removed. But maybe remove and reseat it?

Uhh, by definition LiveView raises the mirror and opens the shutter. The optical viewfinder is blocked off and black when that happens. I think all that button you remember about is simply the LiveView on/off. But your mirrorless Z body has the button next to the EVF to switch view between the...

I think a lot of people here just are not reading the original post. He can see through the optical viewfinder and take a photo. So it is not possible to be stuck in a LiveView or something. Try the resets suggested earlier, but it's just broken if that does not resolve things. Off to Nikon...

Not really. At that far telephoto you may barely notice the difference between the framing of 180mm and 200mm. If you watch Chris Niccols' review on Petapixel he "accidentally" keeps wanting to call it a Tamron lens. Because it is not so cleverly rebranded from Tamron. On the plus side, Chris...

It has been a long-needed addition that Sigma and Tamron was serving in F-mount. I will be watching for reviews. But I am still staying with my lens roadmap to buy a 14-24mm wide angle next when finances allow it. My telephotos are less of an issue using the FTG adapter because they are already...
