Z7 - Possibly a dumb question but....

So, when I use studio flashes with standard DSLRs (D750 etc.) I set the exposure to exclude ambient light and expose an entirely black image. Then the studio flash is the only source of light.

With a Z7 you see what the exposure will result in (through the EVF) so will I just see a black screen and how will that work for image composition / focus etc. Do I assume this method will not work anymore or is there some over-ride?

Welcome to the forum Apache1048. That is an interesting question. I am curious about the answer myself.

Hopefully this will be the answer I was searching for...https://www.nikonusa.com/en/learn-a...nikon-z-system-electronic-viewfinder-evf.html

The “Apply settings to live view” function sets the camera so the EVF and the LCD monitor will display a similar color, brightness and contrast. Turn the setting OFF and both display a look more akin to what you’d get with an optical viewfinder, so whether you want to use the camera like a conventional DSLR’s optical viewfinder or not, the choice is yours.

You’ve also got instant access to various settings on the i menu by pressing the I button while shooting. Intuitively change settings while looking through the EVF by using the main and sub-command dials. You can even customize the functions assigned on the i menu and their layout.
