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...

Or that it shall be so difficult to actually find out how many shutter activations a mirrorless camera has.

Hi, I've been trying to figure out the number of shutter activations (not exposures) I have on my Nikon Z6. All Z cameras with shutters can also take electronic pictures. There are some programs that can be downloaded, but sometimes they are only for Windows and if they are for Mac, the OS...

I would rather group the Z6 / Z7 family in a different way: Z6 and Z7 in one group Z6 II and Z7 II on one group Z6 III alone in a third group. because the cameras in the two first groups, the cameras in these groups differs almost nothing from each other, Z6 and Z7 are nearly identical, apart...

I take a lot of flash pictures at events with my Z6. I always use M, set ISO to 800 and use TTL. That works fine for me. From there I do adjustments depending on the situation, usually I set shutter to 1/125 and f to 4-4,5-5,6

Do you get some pictures in focus or are they always out of focus? Do you use UV filter?

Alien? Ghost?

Danish house, no windows...masons who tried all kinds of designs.

Fireplace built of natural stone, with stairs to the left, also in natural stone.

Once I was on a event, that was partly inside, fairly dark, partly outside in the sunshine. I had to use flash inside the house. No flash in the sunshine. At that time I saved one setting to U1 and the other to U2, and just switched between the two easily. But now (with my Z6) I often use A or M...

I used Ux all the time when I had my D7000 and D7200. I worked perfectly. Choosing one of them put my camera i a pre-saved mode, which I could do changes from. Switch off the camera for a while and turning it on and continue as before. Resetting to saved setting by changing from one Ux to...

I have the Z6 (not Z6ii) and have been using BBF and AF-C the way some posts describes, but sometimes in low light and taking portraits the AF-C seems to hunt too fast and when I release the BB it stops on the wrong focus point. When using AF-S in these cases it often works better. So there is a...

I blame my English on Google translate, thank you for the hint! Tread title is updated.

My thought with a white paper around, is to get light thru from the outside, without reflexions of the light in the medal. I get a very soft light inside the tube. The problem is the black camera and the black lens that is reflected in the object.

Hi, I have been asked to take photos of some medals for a society. Some of the medals are very shiny and reflects like a mirror. When I take picture of these I have a white paper, formed as a tube, with light on the outside and the camera looking thru the tube. That eliminates reflexions from...

The 24-200 mm is a Z-lens. (Nikkor Z 24-200/4-6.3) The results from my test with the rubber cubes has nothing to do with DOF. I just try to pinpoint how many cubes down the line that the lenses are moving the focus point by taking 10 pictures with 2 steps for each picture and I do no stacking on...

Hi, just to be sure that I use the correct words, I looked it up in the English Z6 reference manual. In the menu, under Photo shooting Menu ("camera"), there is Focus Shift shooting and in the submenu you have "No. of shots" selectable between 1 and 300, then you have "Focus step width"...
