I had the RF mount version of this lens, so there's no need for an adapter for the R10.

In Hungary, they are discounting it quite much in these days. Still, quite expensive - it's because of its video qualities

thank you so much!🙏

Thank you, glad to hear it!

Thank you! :)

Hi, I don't have a video dedicated about Manual mode, but your comment made me realize I should have one! :)

Thank you so much, it's great to hear that you liked my suggestions! Makes me feel a bit relaxed, because I often think I'm the only one saying them :)

Thank you so much Jim! It should have the exact same performance on a Sony APS-C sensor camera. Of course, there might be some slight fluctuations in the manufacturing process, but usually they have the same quality. Definitely worth the 180 USD.

Z50 still a pretty good machine even in 2024. I don't know if Nikon will have a Z50 II

Not as good, but getting better

You're right, this video is from 2018. Now there are easier ways to make a timelapse

Thank you so much!

They are of course not idiots, but there's a reason why the Z50 is almost the only camera on the market that has this downward-flipping screen. It's so unpractical - I know a specialised plate can solve it, but that's another inconvenience. If this was such a good design, they would have kept it for the Zf line and Z6 III

@@miklosmayerphoto the smallrig L braket for the Z50 is the same convenience as the smallrig grip for the zfc and zf who sells like hell. Nikon has bad marketing, who don't push the influencers with this L braket besides a small advertise video about this possibility, and therefore nobody knows about this easy way to use selfie mode on a tripod, at least not KZbin influencers. I find this braket only by a pro videographer. The flip up screen like some Sony cameras has the same problem, with the mikro, light, and so on, at the hotshoe. Same workaround there for selfie capabilities. You are one of the KZbinrs with many in depth knowledge, but nobody is perfect. For example, I guess 50% of the Nikon KZbinrs, who enters the KZbin scene after the launch of the Z6 or Zfc never heard before about the Nikon "Film Simulations" like fujifilm. Despite the fact, that Nikon had Film simulations aka picture control, since 12 years now. Back in the DSLR time. And now, some KZbinrs tell us click Baiting: "Breaking News! Express! Nikon had also Film Simulations. What a great News!!!" A "news" who is 10 years old... 😉 As an example of how some KZbinrs are mostly on the surface of a model or brand. BECAUSE the lack of in depth knowledge of a model form many KZbinrs and reviewers AND the bad marketing of Nikon, we came in the situation that most of the reviewers don't knows anything about the concept of the tilt up or tilt down screen, and knows nothing about the possibility of use a simple L braket, who many landscapes photographers use all the time, and most of the reviewers tells the story about the dump Sony of Nikon brands, who construct bodys with this LCD Screens. And everybody who reads or see this, thinks, this LCD screens are unusable for vlogging and selfies, what bad cameras. And sells goes down, and Nikon and Sony released since than only flippy screens, because there marketing sucks nd most of the reviewers don't did there job to research better. That's very sad, and I though, you would thank me, and don't tell me, that this solution is stupid or inconvenience... It's the solution, many engineers with high salaries has thought it's a cost effective solution for beginners and enthusiast. With tripod or selfie stick for the enthusiast, without for absolute beginners who want to handheld a small setup.

You're very welcome, have fun here

Hi there, on the 5D there is no Auto ISO setting, this feature was introduced in the later models. So you'll have to keep an eye on the shutter speed, and raise / lower the ISO speed if necessary.

There's a dedicated ISO button. Press it down, and while pressed, rotate the dial on the top back

@@miklosmayerphoto thank you.

You're welcome

Both

Thank you! Good question, I haven't tested the 35mm F/1.8, but I have the feeling it's better than the 33mm. I also did not use the Nikon 40mm F/2, but I would definitely go for that because of pricing and size.

Canon R10 and Sony A6600

Because you often want to limit the area where it should find the eyes. but once you have the eyes locked on, it would make sense to track them around the whole frame. Basically like the 3D mode, but with a box that has adjustable size.

Thank you so much! I'm going to in January, probably.

@@miklosmayerphoto if you will need hotelaccomodation in the old town please also let me know.

Both

Hi Felicia, in short: you can't fly a drone over Budapest.

There's nothing for the kit lens, except its small size and cheapness

Thank you Johnny, at this moment I'm not interested in that.

Thank you :)

Both are

You're welcome

Thank you so much :)

@miklosmayerphoto I bought the Z5 with the Nikkor 85mm 1.8 S because of this guide 👊

@@DeadPixelGaming Wow, that's awesome, thanks! I hope someone sees this at the Nikon headquarters :)

You're very welcome

That's a very good question, it would be great to have them side-by-side. If you can afford the Z8, and don't care about the extra weight, I would definitely go for that.

I didn't say it's a waste. I said, don't waste your money. I know it's a tad bit better in every aspect, but the design of that lens could be so much better. Why couldn't Nikon make it smaller (look at the Canon RF version)? Okay, some people don't like the extending design... Why did they put the zoom ring where it's so uncomfortable?

Thanks! Highlight setting in preview (same for every Nikon camera): Menu - Playback Menu - Playback Display options Go down to Highlights, and with the right arrow, check the box and press OK. When you play back the images, press the up/down arrows, and it will toggle between the different display options, one of them will be the Highlights alert view. Send me some of the out of focus photos, so I can have a look what caused them. You can find my email in the channel description

Awesome, have fun with it!

Exactly! I was just about to say this, then I found your comment!

Thank you for your comment! I tried to set it up for the OK button, and it didn't work. Tracking around the whole frame: I absolutely understand that is why 3D tracking is, but I find that the 3D tracking box is quite small. On Sonys at least you can configure it's size (S, M, L). If I use the Custom box on the Nikon Z 6 III, I was expecting the camera to track the found eye as long as I was holding halfway down the shutter button (or Af-ON). If I want to find a new target, I would just lift my finger off. Anyways, to me it was surprising, because Canons track the subject around the whole frame even in custom Area AF mode.

@@miklosmayerphoto Understood - I see what you are saying. The put the 3D box on the subject and then eye detect will take over all over the screen, but you are saying that the 3D box is too small for your liking - I understand what you are saying now. Still, I am not sure why you would want to use the OK button when using the shutter with the AF ON and/or Disp buttons are much more ergonomic, but of course to each their own. Overall, very good work on the review! -PD

Oh God, thanks for pointing that out! I clearly lost my arithmetic skills... :))) Indeed, that would be about 5 stops. To be honest, I took shots at 1.3 seconds as well, but only one came out as sharp enough out of three. That would make it roughly 7 stops, but that's still far from the claimed 8.5 stops

Thanks :)

Definitely not. Use both extensively.

Thanks for your feedback. When I'm shooting, I like it. However, when I'm playing the images back, that's when I hate this "smart" feature. But it's true, it's my personal preference only.

That's was my "bug": 3D tracking mode in these Nikons is a separate AF Area mode, so you cannot use with the customized box.

​@@miklosmayerphoto The "Nikon way" is to do a little dance with AF-ON set to "AF-area mode+AF-ON" > 3D Tracking. First, use Wide Area AF to capture the eye. Then start holding AF-ON. 3D tracking will start tracking the eye that was captured by Wide Area AF. At this point the camera will track the eye anywhere in the frame until AF-ON is released.

​@@miklosmayerphoto to clarify you have to start autofocusing in Wide Area AF before performing the handoff, it isn't enough to let the camera detect the eye, the camera has to actively be tracking it

Unfortunately a little complicated

@@FawfulDied That's very good know, I will have to check.Thanks!

Could you actually set it up to the DISP button? You're in Auto Area AF mode, you press it once, and it jumps into 3D tracking mode? Because I tried the same but with the Fn1 button, and did not work.

@@miklosmayerphoto my disp button is set to 3d tracking. So as long as I keep it in it will be using 3d. When I leave it it goes to the autofocus mode I am shooting in. Then my gn1 button is set to single point, as long and I keep it in it single point focus.

@@mrbadventures8604 Thanks! But do you have to keep the DISP button pressed or you just press it once?

@@miklosmayerphoto you have to keep it pressed it. That basically becomes your focus button.

@@mrbadventures8604 Thank you for your prompt reply, that's perfect clarification for me. Knowing this, I still maintain that on the "old" Nikon Z cameras, it was easier: you press the OK once, and it jumps into 3D tracking mode, until you don't exit it. But it's maybe it's just me who doesn't like to keep buttons pressed :)

Thanks for the video idea!
