I guess it all depends on the lens used and the shutter speed.

Steve, I just picked up my Z6-3 and I noticed that in Manual Mode the shutter speed is in single digits not like in normal increments 30s, 40s, etc. Have you figured out how to change? Thanks

Thanks!

“I’m a simple guy”. Wrong. You are the expert.

Share the happiness!

I've never clicked so fast in my life.

This series is perfect for the wildlife photographer who’s finally making the switch over to Nikon mirrorless. Great tip on setting the DX Crop warning! I’ve made that very mistake myself of being unaware I was still in DX crop mode. Looking forward to videos 3 and 4!

Thanks Steve,great set of videos you make things seem so simple can’t wait till the next one cheers

11:43 Steve, you're my new favourite American. ;)

I am looking at getting this camera with the 500mm f5.6 pf which does not have a control ring. Can you assign a control dial for this function without having to press the ISO button? Also how good is video in crop mode?

Thanks- great work. FWIW my camera does not have 14a.

@Steve Perry does your set up guide referenced in this video go over the Shooting Menu banks in detail?

I really hate that Nikon doesn't give the user the option for whether to update user settings/shooting banks dynamically or always come back the the settings saved originally. Like you can choose on other brands. I'm using a Z8 and I'd really like the settings saved in shooting banks to be "sticky." I keep my OM-1 dial on C1 and every time I start the camera I know w/o giving it any thought what settings I'm starting from, I can get to my desired exposure w/o ever looking at the camera. With the Z8 I had to force myself to set everything the way I want it every time I shut off the camera, because sometimes there is no time to check settings when you turn it on - you see something and want to immediately shoot, not think about settings. But I get that some people prefer it the other way around (like the Z8 does it currently) and that's why there should be an option for everyone to choose. (I also like that the OM-1 saves everything in a custom settings bank - from exposure, to drive mode, af mode/area, subject detection, even which card slot to save to (maybe you don't want to mix up your landscapes with your action shots))

Thanks, I enjoyed all 4. Looking forward to September. On a different topic, do you have any comments about lenses and this camera?

I used User Settings on my D7x00 cameras but not on my Z6. How about Z6iii? Can you dial in U1, change the setting from 1/3200 to 1/1600, turn off the camera. for a while and then turn it on again, without switching to any other User Setting and still have 1/1600, or has it gone back to the saved value of 1/3200?

Thank you for these videos !! Much appreciated your efforts sir 🫡 you're the best

Hi Steve Thanks a lot today about 11:30 AM I got my Z6iii from Adorama! Got a silly question why the te body of amera looks smaller than the one in your video? You posted this at thee right time YOU THE BEST NIKON GURU!

I am a 35mm/medium format film and street photographer the last 20+ years. I’m getting into wildlife since last year. I don’t have my Z6iii yet. I am using this for my Zf (parts of the video that apply to that particular body) which I’m using until plan the end of the year when there is budget leftover. I also purchased a couple of the courses you have. Goal is to ramp up on education first. Your content is gold! Thank you Steve! 😊

It's a bit sad & disappointing that the Z6iii doesn't have the "Cycle AF Area" option & the separate Bird AF. Hopefully Nikon will come to their senses and add it in future updates because both Sony/Canon doesn't cripple their autofocus in their new full frame bodies. The Canon R6ii has the R3 autofocus. The Sony A7C II has the A7RV autofocus.

Fantastic set up guide once again ❤

Thanks for putting these together so quickly, Steve! I have a Z8 so I'm used to most of these settings. This comment relates more to Part 1 of 4 but I much prefer the U1/U2/U3 setup versus Banks. Looking forward to setting these up when my Z6III arrives.

Your videos are always full of good advice

Thanks a lot for all these guides. I just got this Z6 III and would like to know where you got the firmware LF 1.10 from? Mine is v1.00...!?

Im going to get your set up guide before the camera...I have all the other guides and books... all great guides as I know this one will be too.

Did the Z6III have the focus point border width option?

Thank you, Steve, I appreciate the hard work you‘re putting into these videos.

Super photos from an interesting pre-review. Thanks a lot!

Thanks

This is amazing going to get a d780 so this will help lots….you’re the man for clear explanation, much appreciated.

Great tips.

too expensive

Thanks Steve. Wish there was a quick way to change eye detect quickly. With team sports I jump from people to vehicle a bunch.

Technical Question. Do you think I would get a better quality BIF image from the Nikon Z6 iii with its very fast AF and a Nikon 500mm pf prime lens (cant afford the 600mm) than with my APSc fujifilm XH2s (26mp) with a 600mm (900mm FF equiv) f8 zoom lens which has relatively slow AF. In focus photos with sharp eye lack definition in the feathers compared to still photos at the same distance. I am concerned about the lower pixel density on the Z6iii and whether the image quality of the FF would be better than the APSc particularly in low light.

Can you try the time again with the Z6iii ?

I am at least 1000% wiser about denoising, masking and texture etc from watching this video. Can't wait to test it on my own images! Thank you so much for being the kind of person who can present things in such a way that they are easy enough to understand and put into practice. Love your videos!

Hey Steve, great video. will it be better than Z7ii for wildlife as I'm suffering from poor AF performance using 200-500 with F2Z adapter? Or shall I upgrade to 180-600 with Z7ii?? So which option works better for wildlife 1- Z6iii + F2Z + 200-500 2- Z7ii + 180-600 Please advise, thanks

Way too much talking in this video.

Thanks Steve for sharing the story behind the shot. This video is extremely valuable in many aspects. I do appreciate your generosity in sharing.

Nice shot of the Anhinga. I have a similar shot of looking at the neck/mouth of the bird with the structures showing. It is not as nicely backlit. It was around 10 am in Green Cay Nature Preserve. If in Florida again you should check out Wakodahatchee Preserve in January through March when the birds are winter nesting, mating and hatching. There are lots of Egrets, Blue Herons, Cow Egrets, Night Herons, Anhingas, Cormorants, Red Wing Blackbirds and Wood Storks. You are on a boardwalk but you can get to within 20-50 feet of them. I got a shot of a Blue Heron about 5 feet from me. Apparently some of the birds are people tolerant. Both preserves are within a 10-15 minutes drive of each other.

When blasting away at 20 fps, do you continue to hold the focus button on a still subject, or do you focus first and then hold the shutter button? I normally use back button focus and hold down the focus button while I'm firing away, but my Z5 jumps around a lot with focus.

Thanks Steve! Some awesome shots, as always.

Some people say it’s “spray and pray” regarding shooting at high frame rates but my reply is that particular moment only happens once and you cannot go back, so take the chance and take the images.

I’m more excited for the z9ii/z8ii to have the new viewfinder. My only real complaint with the cameras

With the z8 line I don’t expect a z7iii. It was made to compete with the r5/a7r line which the z8 now does.

So, question about the length of time a denoise process takes. Mine typically show 3 mins... while yours took under 30 seconds. I am processing Z9 files and can't figure it out.

Wow! Thanks Steve for this highly educational master class!

These images are amazing! Thank you for the photos and the tips! I do have a question, tho ..... you talked about the crop you made on the night heron, but how much cropping was done on the first picture of the spoonbill flying toward you? Thanks again!

Thanks Steve! While I have no plans to buy a Z6iii in the near future (I'm currently a Z8 user), it was interesting to hear about the techniques and the capabilities of this new offering from Nikon, and the techniques carry over perfectly to the Z8/Z9. I appreciate you getting on this in the field and getting it up on your channel!

At this point I do believe that all the viewers of your channel think of you as one of the greatest wildlife photographer out there. No matter what gear you use, you still keep delivering masterpieces after masterpieces. The content you allow us to view is much more than a technical camera review but about a branch of photography that require skill, knowledge, patience and the most important thing: an endless passion for the beauty of nature. Wish you all the best, sir.

Valuable information Steve, on batteries though, do we have any idea what the life span of the internal rechargeable battery is, this is the battery that keeps our settings when the camera is turned off or the main battery is removed. I can find NO information regarding this battery?
