4:19 Regarding cycling subject detection. You can use the "custom settings recall" function and just choice subject as the setting you want to recall and set it to say, animal. You can then at least cycle from your current subject detection settings and animal detect. I have my recall set to the joystick button press and cycle from birds to animals.

Make noice great again:-D

Super tutorial thanks. Can you provide a link to purchase the tripod your camera is fitted to ? Please

Its the Best Wild Life camera in the world along with the Z9

I am assuming somebody has pointed you to this video, which might help your autofocus experience. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d56lYo2lZrJ5jassi=caWlFiSRW1kGSerk

at about 4:15 you've missed something. You can assign Recall Shooting Functions (hold) to a button. I use Fn1 for easy use. I set this up for say Burds. Now say I'm shooting say flowers and I;m set up for that. Then I see a bird ! press Fn1 and boom, its set for birds ! I can. with that function save shutter speed, AF mode, fps, you name it. Works wonders.

I've had my Z8 since it premiered and it was night and day coming from the Z6ii and Z50. I still kept my Z6ii for astro but paired with that 400 4.5 and a 1,4 tele it boosted my nature photography.

Thank you for the great video. I have been considering switching from my D500 which I love to the Z8. You have confirmed my decision. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Glad to know you’re happy with your Z8. I don’t own a Z8 but a Z9. I mainly shoot wildlife and birds but have never been pleased with my Z9’s AF performance. My current and only telephoto lens that I shoot with my Z9 is Z600mm F/4S TC. They are considerably less responsive and accurate than my Canon counterparts. Despite the bigger body sizes and highly customizable buttons that Nikon offers, it doesn’t make any sense that there is only one back button on the top right hand side at the back.

Z8超級讚，已拿它拍了一年的熊鷹，超級滿意啦! 已預定Z9二代囉!

The reason that a 24 megapixel FF camera is better at handling ISO/noise is do to the photons being slightly larger than on a 45 megapixel FF sensor. The sensor is the same size on both cameras, but one is cramming twenty one more megapixels on it, which means each pixel is slightly smaller, which means less light gathering capabilities. This goes for ALL camera manufacturers. It's the reason why most indoor and outdoor under stadium lights Nikon sports photographers shoot the D5 and D6. Look at the new Canon R1 which has great low light performance with fast readout, it's because it has a 24 megapixel sensor. If Nikon "which I think they will" comes out with a 24 megapixel Z9/Z8 equivalent, it will be blazing fast with excellent low noise capabilities. I shoot the D850 with the vertical grip and Nikon Z9. The Z9 is a D850 on steroids with video capabilities the D850 could only dream of. The D850 is still one phenomenal stills captures camera. I have been shooting with the Z9 since it came out, the battery life is great as is the integrated vertical grip.

I just got the Z8 and it's a great camera

Love my Z8. It really is that good. ISO noise compared to the Z6 is a natural result of the higher resolution. I find it pretty close to my Z7ii in noise. With the latest noise reduction in Lightroom/camera raw, I usually get pretty good results anyway.

Thanks so much for the information. At the end of the review, you say "You can start at f/2.8 from far out, like a meter's distance, and then when you get closer gradually increase the aperture so you still maintain the entire subject in focus while throwing the background out of focus." I'm confused - isn't the aperture fully open at 2.8, and therefore wouldn't the background already be blurred? (I'm new to photography, so I'm probably misunderstanding - I hope someone can clarify.)

Mr. Peter I found you recently but I like your advices and approach to gear (important but not obsessed to have all but only needed) and your respect to nature and beauty Danish country

Mr. very good advices and approach

Thank you for the information

Deer can smell you befor you see them it can be hard work. Keep up the good work it's worth it.

Peter, great video. I have now watched a number of your videos. Love your style, thank you for taking the time to move around and breaking up the instruction. This takes additional time, but makes it much more interesting. Most importantly what you are sharing is very helpful to beginning photographers. Your tips are awesome, love how you went back and were able to capture the fox cubs the next day! Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much. This saves me a lot of money

Great work sir love ur work

I am wondering if since making this video about flash for macro, have you tried the Godox MF12 yet? I have OM 1 mk 2 and a 60m macro lens (OM). I would like to add flash

I would love to adapt something like this to my Fuji XH2 but I've heard these older lenses produce soft photos on higher megapixel APSC cameras

Focus hunting is there even with the F mount lens which I have bought in 2013, it works well even now, if it hunts too much grab the focus ring and pull focus manually that's what I do with the shutter half pressed down.

Function button on my 105 is set to switch between FX and DX so I can zoom instantly. Control ring set to ISO doesn’t bother me shooting in manual

Excellent advice - thank you, Peter!

Thank you!

I did not really grasp what aou did annoy you about the lens! When doing manual focus at the smallest distance do you control it via the Oled Display (focus distance or reproduction ratio)?

Круто!!!

Great video Peter! Thanks for sharing.

Love the video! Keep up the great work. You have a new subscriber.

Without fail if I sit down to photograph a flower on a dead still day, I get a gale force wind lol

You have the sexiest eyes😏 Sorry, couldn’t help but notice. Great video, thanks!!🙏🏻

I think Olympus has won the macro game with the Zuiko 90mm. It basically does everything this lens doesn't.

Omg thank you!!!

Do you use a macro lens?

Nice tips and video. Thank you for sharing

It seemed perfectly clear to me, Peter; I was responding to the person who complained. Your videos are excellent - inspiring and always worth watching. Please keep them coming!

What are the 5 tips? I unsubscribed as the title seemed like click bait with no specific 5 tips.

Gad godt der var meget dyreliv.

Hvor i landet er det område ? 😮 Vel ovre i Jylland ? :(

EXCELLENT! I found the 4 Ps to help with my wildlife photography here in Alaska. 1) Position. If in the mountains, use the hillside elevation to bet at or slightly below the eye level of the animal. Position to capture catchlight in the subject's eyes. Use the topography to position yourself so the animal feeds towards you with the first photos at eye level with the animal on the skyline of a hill. For perched birds and waterfowl, they typically lift off into the wind so position yourself with the wind at your back. Most wild mammals have a keen sense of smell, so position yourself with the wind in your face for wild mammals 2) Planning. Plan your position so the animal naturally comes towards you in a still position. Often a moose, caribou, or bear will come quite close with that type of planning. 3) Patience. Patience and let that "magic moment" happen naturally and the animal does not know you are there. 4) Persistence. Enjoy the journey and by visiting the same site many times you learn about the perfect location for light, background, and animal movements.

Thanks for your presentation I have only used my 105 a few times withe the Z6ii. It has been difficult to use for macro but I agree with all you have said. Do you have a flash recommendation? Years ago I had a ring light but did not use very often. Thanks.

Peter…any reason why you didn’t include a link to the camo net you are using for the camera and you?

Another great video. Two in a row!

Great video. Much appreciated. Liked and suscribed.

Great video 👍🙂

This is the best photography tips video I found so far on youtube. The production values are so high. Its inspiring.

Good advices Peter, not just for beginners, in this nice video. Link at the end doesn't work, you need to fix it. Cheers. 👍
