Something's wrong with my Z7ii

Well, there's something badly wrong with my back up camera. No, not the one in the car, the one in my camera bag. I needed a shot of me for the CNPA newsletter, so I set up my primary camera as a prop, and used my back camera with the timer to get a shot. The problem? All the shots ended with this bald, old guy staring back at the camera instead of me. Not sure what's wrong with it. I might have to use my primary camera and relegate the back up to a prop. Hopefully that will work.

It shows... :ROFLMAO:

Or your Adobe Lightroom is faulty... ;)

On a different note. I was looking at the serial number of your Z7II and it start with a 30.. Mine start with a 78 and they are a 7 digits numbers...

That does give you an idea of how many Z7II, Nikon has sold worldwide... (if they use sequential numbers) Quite impressive...

Or they change the number sequences for different national markets to weed out gray-market purchases during warranty claims.

Again you are 100% correct... My numbers start with 7 and that it is Asia where Australia does start with 6... The US is 3...
So we really don't know how many they sold... I also got lenses with n. 4 Europe and n.2 Japan...

In all honesty, I think Australia has a wider multicultural approach to the way local companies handle warranties.. My European lens, got fixed twice already by the local Canon workshop for free. We also have special laws that protect the consumer, regardless of what the company does claim... When we buy a product, we always get the disclaimer about our warranty laws preceding their laws.. If they want to sell in Australia they have to abide to it. The grey market kinda of went out of the window when Internet started to show the people the companies that were colluding and price gouging different countries around the world for no reason other than they could... Australia has always been a target because we are a very wealthy and isolated country... It still happens, but much, much less these days...

It was the same story in the old days with DVD and Bluray... Then Internet came along and Bob's your uncle... Weeding out grey import, is a pipe dream today...
