BEST Nikon Z6III Autofocus Settings for Photo & Video - Z6III, Z8, Z9, Zf

This video is super underrated! I think everyone who owns a newer Z should see this! Thanks for doing it!

IMO - This is the best Nikon Z6III Auto focus setup video. Kyle, immensely thank you for sharing this with us. 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

[@tony_ellis]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this video - thanks - Made me understand video focusing on my new z8 perfectly!!!

[@kylemeshna]

Stoked to hear it! Enjoy the z8

[@ConfusedAstroStation-mb2ch]

I am big AF-On focus only user but with the Z9, focus is so good that I went back to shutter focus (Auto AF, Full with eye-detec is so good it always finds the eye) and then AF-On set to 3D-Tracking. So if I need a single point target I just point to the subject and press AF-On and I got that point/subject locked in and tracking. Nikon needs to add option to de-couple eye-AF detect from the 3D tracking on the Z6III and it's all good...this video so far is the best I've seen as work-around, just don't like pressing F1 and moving the focus point with my thumb..great video by the way!

[@hboprof]

After watching other KZbinrs explain how to configure autofocus (their way), I find yours makes most sense (although I am using Zf which doesn't have same function buttons as other Zees). Would suggest you start with "Let me show you 3 different modes to use autofocus: 1 is 3D tracking, 2 is Auto area AF, 3 is single point AF or the old back button focus and recompose." And explain the purpose (scenario) for using each mode. For me, returning to Nikon (F series from F to F3) after a decade of Fujifilm (upgrading from XE1, through XT1, XH1, XPro3, Xt4, finally XT5) your video really helps me find my way to finally enjoy the film retro aspects of the Zf with the latest modern features of mirrorless. Thank you.

[@hboprof]

Unfortunately, I cannot program the 3 modes on the limited Zf function keys. But at least now I know how to set those 3 modes (I will use the iMenu to change the settings as needed).

Nikon is still to slow a system for, I just need to shoot fast, often switching from video to photo.

If I ever move from Sony it'll be because another manufacturer has matched ease of use, plus added killer stabilisation

Thanbks for the video, it gave me an idea of how to tweak my own setup which is very similar to yours already. However, I'm curious about what`you said about setting AF-ON button to choose focus mode [3D]AF-ON which you say takes the current focus area into account. So if the custom W-C1 area is active before hitting AF-ON ( set to [3D]AF-ON ) it will only choose subjects that are in the previously displayed W-C1 area? Really? I was under the impression that 3D tracking will track subjects you have selected with the small centered [+] box and if you also have subject/eye detect enabled it will also find and focus on the eye, but I'm not convinced it will take the previous focus area into account. I guess we could inbtentionally configure a very small W-C1 area to test this and see if it still picks a subjects eyes that are in the outer part of the frame. I'm guessing it will, but it would be interesting if it didn't which could indicate you could be right. Personally I also have 3 different focus modes set up: W-C1 (horizontal) is the devault W-C1 (vertical) and [3D]AF-ON which I have set up for use in that order. I maibnly use the first two and don't rely on [3D] tracking, but if I do then I need to know it will work the way I expect it to. I think I best investigate this to make sure.

There’s a button on upper left side of viewfinder that cycles viewfinder/ monitor modes. If you said it to Auto, when you put your eye up to the view finder, you’ll see your image there, when you pull back to look at the screen, it’ll appear in there. If you have prioritized viewfinder, it’ll just be in the viewfinder. I believe you can also prioritize monitor and it will only show on the back.

From the sounds of it, you want your “thing” that you’re sculpting to be in focus at all time rather than your hand. Does that thing move much? If not you could use something like f/8 aperture and use manual focus once the object is set. Or perhaps there’s a better angle you can use where your hands done pass in front of the camera as much (top down perhaps).

Hello Sir. Please if it is possible can you make a full review of the Nikon FTZ Mark II adapter, on KZbin no one has a real informative review of this product. it will be interesting to see how F-mount lenses from any brand can perform on a Nikon Z mount Camera, how accurate the autofocus is how fast is it, and so on. I think it will be interesting for a lot of people because right now a lot of people are considering buying a Nikon mirrorless camera but Nikon does not offer affordable Z-mount lenses and also there are no real good alternative lenses from other brands like Sigma or Tamron. for example, you can find a lot of perfect lenses for Sony E mount like the latest Sigma24-70mm f/2.8 mark II lens. to make a long story short You know better than me that you can find a lot of good half-price lenses for E mount but not for R mount or Z mount and there are a lot of people including myself want to know if we can buy Nikon Mirrorless camera and adapt F mount lenses without any problem with FTZ adapter and be happy.

[@jamesgrove]

Nikon does make affordable Z mount lenses, some of which are made by Tamron. With regard the FTZ the only difference between the Mk1 and Mk2 is the loss of the tripod mount. AF performance will vary between F mount lenses, primes and fast aperture zooms will perform well, some cheaper zooms less so. Accuracy is no different, acquisition times and tracking will be effected based on the above text. If you are more specific about which F mount glass works well on the FTZ then YT likely already has a video, many people continue to use adapted lenses without issue.

Your video title says "BEST Nikon Z6III Autofocus Settings for Photo & Video - Z6III, Z8, Z9, Zf". I assumed this meant it applied to each of the four models you listed.

I am sure users of the other cameras will find this video useful but I think you should change the title and make it clear that these suggested settings do not apply to the Zf.

At this stage of the game using custom boxes to improve focus is just a patch. You shouldn't need to do that. Nikon should have it figured out (like Sony and Canon). The 3D tracking should be good enough to find eyes accurately (which the Z6iii) doesn't always do. It should also be sticky enough, which it isn't . Hoping in future firmware updates Nikon will fix these issues.

Nikon Canon and Sony need to give the customer a much better way of sharing the files from their expensive cameras. It's too convoluted and slow right now. All the cameras are heavy, big , expensive and still need to muck around with cards cables and adapters and wast time they can't shift files as quick as I phone can. We just get constant gimmicks on the new cameras Eg pixel shift , 60 Mp, global shutters , 100mp , 1000 focus points, 300 FPS electronic shutters ect . The iPhone I can air drop email text all my files instantly . These expensive electronic devices running into tens of thousands when you have a two bodies and a set of lens can't moves files as easily as an iPhone is so stupid and dumb . A modern mirrorless camera should be able to Air drop to a lap top or phone instantly like a mobile phone can as this tech has been in phones for years .

I’d love that. Leica is currently the best at transferring wirelessly to their app from my experience, but would still prefer it to be easier and for everyone else to follow suit

Nice, but I'm not using Nikon. Nikon was a good film camera.

Dude, the animated background made me stop watching - it is very distracting and annoying especially for a tutorial. I hope you will remove it in future videos. Keep up the good work!

The cycling background is insanely distracting.
