    Rainbow at sunset

    Thanks, Brent. It's just lucky I saw it when back from shopping. After a couple of minutes of shooting it, was gone no more.

    z6ii settings (changed from "BBAF on Z camera)

    A new feature of z: override AF and its activation option, has made me troubled great. The override function is made default on S lenses (not available for other lenses), but disabling the function can be done on only SOME of the S lenses. I happen to use the 20mm f1.8 S which is not on the list...

    z6ii settings (changed from "BBAF on Z camera)

    z6ii settings (changed from "BBAF on Z camera)

    Ok, my bad. In z6ii it's a6 and the other option isn't AFSB, but AF-On/Shutter that's the one you can use both buttons for AF. So the dumb question: why "you don't want that one..."? My main reason for using both: sometimes my thumb is used for other tasks when engaging focus is needed...

    Cause(s) of soft images

    How will this help? Will it then show red squares on z images? I wonder if I can do this on my old Mac.

    Cause(s) of soft images

    Yes, I use RRA. I think I know the cause of the issue now: The autofocus points option has already checked. That's why my old D3500 images show red reticle in Finder. However, since my Mac OSX is too old that the RRA can't be updated to work on new z6ii images. More and more apps stay...
