    Z6III custom controls setup?

    Hey all. Only had my Z6III a few weeks. Only had a chance to use it on 1 job so far- a parade and Christmas Lighting event downtown Chicago. So still trying to master the Auto focus modes and the array of custom button functions. I am an event shooter mostly these days. Mostly indoors...

    Nikon Z6III weird flicker issue

    From everything I've read and seen- YES- choose mechanical shutter for LEDs if you have it. Or keep under 1/250 sec- but even that may show some banding. I've a friend who shoots for Chicago Lyric Opera and has a Z6- and he was having that issue badly at 1/400 sec, reduced greatly by keeping...

    ***Update again...*** OK. I figured out how to get my Preset measurement and had it on the Fn1 button as many wildlife guys have reccomented, but coming from- and still using my DSLRs- D850 w/grip and D810 I am used to fully wrapping my fingers around the bigger grips and on the Z6III I keep...

    Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 VR

    I’d look at a lot of your typical action shots you’re happy with and note the shutter speed needed for those tack sharp action shots. Anytime I’ve shot indoor sports such as basketball. I found that if you’re less than a 500th of a second, you’re going to get blurring. At f5.6. Going to have...

    Doesn’t appear like they have the controls here to change the background for text. You could do it in Photoshop and save as a GIF or PNG and attach it here…

    Although still am unclear on what they mean by "High Speed Capture"- do they mean really fast shutter speeds? Or if you have continuous release drive on (5,7,20 fps etc?)

    *******UPDATE******** Fixed. I suspected that in making my button customizations I must have messed up somewhere. Took camera back to Dodd where I bought it and we compared mine to an out of the box one. For others just getting into newer mirrorless bodies- there are some menu items that you...

    Ok then. In the manual it does make it seem like you can do this in either Photo or Video- section 4 of “Direct Measurement “ WB, says this: Position the white balance target (r) over a white or gray object and measure a value for preset manual white balance. Position the target (r) using the...

    Hi gang. Just found this forum. I started shooting Nikon‘s in 1974. Started with a used Nikkormat with a 35 mm F2 and a 135F 2.8 lens bought used in a camera shop in Amsterdam… Started assisting in studios doing catalogs, architecture, fashion. Eventually on my own shooting interiors , then...

    That is what I hoped. But- just now was able to record a custom WB- while in video mode. So my follow-up question, to other Z6lll owners, is that the only way that we can record a custom white balance? Do we have to be in video mode to record it? I can still choose that preset for my...

    Thanks. It is what I’m looking for- but it’s not working. As I said, I’ve been making a lot of changes to the stock settings trying to get to a base working setting for User-1,2,3. Perhaps made a change that’s not allowing or showing the manual measurements? At the moment my WB is set on Fn2...

    No option to record custom WB -new Z6lll

    Hope somebody here can help. I have a brand new four day old Z6lll. Been going through all the menus, customizing my settings and button functions. And now I’m trying to record a custom white balance, but there is no option to record a new setting. I can access all the slots “PRE – 1 – 6“ , but...
