If you use the Z 105mm lens, each step in focus stepping is a very short distance. Different lenses moves the focus point differently far. That is, if you move the focus one step on a Z 24-200mm lens, you have to move the focus 4 steps on the Z 105mm lens to get just as far. So there is a trial...

With the Z6iii, no battery charger is supplied, according to new EU rules. So I tried to comply with EU and charge my camera via USB. It turns out it only work when the cable is a USBc <-> USBc and that is supplied with the camera. But the cable is only 60 cm so I had to buy a longer cable. Then...

Since I'm a kind of geek, I have to try all new stuff, regardless if I need it or not. But on the other hand, you don't know if you need it if you never try it! The Z6iii has pixel shift, which was a hype when it came on other cameras but now almost nobody talks about it. It may have its...

Taking photos on the beach seems to be popular. These two pictures are from Thailand, taken 15 min apart. It's the same family, gearing up from one camera stand to two and a chair for the director (?) while his assistent is managing the iPhone. 😁 🌴 🎬

Is that the Famous Grouse?

I can highly recommend Z 24-120 mm f4 if you are going full frame. I have had 24-70mm f4 and 24-200mm f4-6,3 and was not quite satisfied with them. The 24-120 mm is very sharp all the way out in the corners. It is however heavy and bulky, not the lens that you have on the camera that you put in...

As it appears, it's only advertised to Z6iii, not any other Z's.

NX Studio, the free photo editing software for Nikon files, can be used to do an edit, save the edit parameters to a file and then load it into the Z6iii so it can be used as a preediting adjustment when taking the photos. That will save time since adjustments are made when the picture is taken...

I think I have seen that Z6ii claims 6 stop for IBIS, and 8 stops for Z6iii, but I', not sure. About Z8 I don't know. How good IBIS works also depends if the lens has VR. I once tried my old 200mm F-lens on my Z6 and that didn't work out well, probably because I didn't know at the time, that I...

Just found out that a part of the rattling is not only the IBIS locking up, but also the automatic cleaning that is set to ON default. It's a little bit confusing however, in the menu it says "Automatic cleaning -> OFF" as default, meaning that you DO clean the sensor when you turn the camera...

Well, not a type of review that you find on Youtube, there are already too many explaining the same thing. I will try to write about some of the things that I have noticed, that is not mentioned on the tube. Sometimes a little bit quirky, sometimes good. I'm only a photographer, I'm not doing...

After five weeks of waiting, I finally got my Z6iii and have made some shooting with flash. I use an SB-500 as a Master in a CLS-system and SB-700 and SB910 as remote flash and it works fine. I can use the SB 700 (or the SB910) mounted on the camera but not as a master flash. Sometimes, when I...

Sometimes in the 1960's, one of my first pictures, probably with an Agfa camera 35mm film. From the harbor in the village I grew up. Fish market. Winter time.

I got my Z6iii a couple of days ago, and I have spent much time on youtube to set up my camera. If my old (?) Z6 had 250 settings, this one has at least 500! If you use a slower shutter speed (no problem since the IBIS take care of any camera movements, I have shot with shutter speed as long as...

What value did you have for shutter speed? Lens with variable aperture, depending on zoom? Auto ISO: What value did you get on the different photos?

I had a separate battery charger with my Z6 but I had to let it go when I sold it. But the way I have it now, I can also supply the camera with external power, especially when I'm doing a lot of macro and stacking. Everything has it's pros and cons.

I just got my Z6iii with 24-120 (Weee!) and after unboxing it, I inserted the battery. Dead! Insert my extra battery I purchased. Dead. No charger supplied, according to regulations from the European Union. We are supposed to use chargers we already have. Looked around for old (and new) chargers...

You are also recommended to use the USB-cable that is supplied with the camera. The charger and the battery are "talking" with each other on some wires in the cable, so it's essential that the cable has these wires. Not all of the cheaper cables in the local store has them. So even if the...

My first Nikon was a Nikkormat with a 50mm f/2,8, bought in the beginning of the 1970's. I used the lens on my Z6 with FTZ adapter and it works great. I have to select what focal length I have and activate the red (or yellow?) outline indicating what's in focus. The pictures are sooo smooth. I...

It seems from the Nikon papers that the SB-800 is compatible with the Z6iii, when mounted on the camera. https://onlinemanual.nikonimglib.com/z6III/en/compatible_flash_units_379.html#sub_sb-910_sb-900_sb-800 I currently have the Z6 (i) and it works fine. I will get a Z6iii within a week or two...
