Hey Everyone! Little bit of a deep dive Geeky video here its certainly won't be for everyone ! For those of you that watched the whole thing I hope you found this video useful and found something that could help you. Also I know the big question is going to be can these changes be applied to the Original Z 6 & Z 7. I do not know yet but trying to find out details about new Firmware updates for the Z 6 and Z 7 going forwards. Thanks again for watching !

[@mneedes2]

A lot of those changes could be put in the Z6 and Z7 firmware, especially where features are removed (such as view info disable). I am hoping that Nikon puts out a firmware update with some of those low-hanging fruit changes, but I am not holding my breath.

[@damienrobertson349]

I was going to ask this very same question - I hope the software improvements make their way down to the z6/z7. I would love have the no info display, shutter speeds past 30” and the focus memory just to name a few. Thanks for the video!

[@championthewonderhorse9733]

I had a Sony A7riii (since sold to move to Nikon) - watching this menu summary would have made me cry 6 months ago. I know Sony has improved their menus, but for years people had to deal with a total incoherent mess. The Nikon menu is so intuitive and clean and so well designed.

[@maxvain]

Hey Richi, would love to see some close up comparison images with skin textures with Z vs F mount, similar to how Gordon at cameralabs did the RF vs EF 85 test recently.

[@19Photographer76]

I wasn't going to ask, that's why I'm late. The focus point in manual mode, with the D850 it's a fairly large red box. With the Z7II it's half the size. Any way to have it the larger D850 size? Question #2 ~ on the Z9 there's a 'glove' mode for the LCD screen, it can be turned off. Any such work around for the Z7II?

[@cactustweeter2890]

Ordered my Z 7 II. Here learning as much as possible about it before it arrives.

[@stanspb763]

I am surprised you only have gotten 18l subs since you are the best source of actual Nikon information and the best lens tests of any channel or brand. I refer a lot of people to the channel but probably did not increase the sub rate much. The new menu options all make so much sense and really refine the control of the camera to personal taste. The less intrusive level display is very welcome. For me, the only real benefit for 2 slots is having video directed to the second card so in transfers to my network drives stills are not bogged down by large video files. The new focus control options are very nice to see, and not having to separately select a menu option for eye detect or animal and now the single af mode menu list has the eye detection choice. The ability to restrict eye detection to an area is exactly what I need for my theater work, where shooting individuals in a scene with multiple actors it will be a snap to assure AF is limited to who I am seeking. That is a side business that grew from volunteering to shoot at a few theaters where my friends were actors, and that grew into contracts with 31 theaters, that augments my product, portraiture and fashion studio sessions. The more the details of the Z6/7 2 are seen the more compelling they are. These little details are significant improvements in ease of use. Will you be getting newer closer to production firmware before general release? I would love to see you do an AF test for tracking to see how much faster and sure it is. One thing that the KZbin influencers who pan Nikon fail to understand, the speed of display focus point tracking has little relationship with actual focus. Several of the usual bashers of Nikon tout the superiority of Sony AF over and Z6/7 by showing the speed of scene focus point indication but when burst most was used, one showed the actual images and the Z6 had far more in focus than Sony. The speed of the focus box had little relation to the actual attainment of focus on erratic moving subjects. That is what I find in shooting ballroom dance competition(which is faster than most sports) that I consistently get more in-focus images than my competing photographers who use a73. Shooting equestrian events, show jumpers reveals the same. Possibly the lens differences could be part of it but the Z cameras deliver the sharp in-focus images consistently. The trainers want 3-4 nailed shots on each jump focused on leg position at the plant, extension and landing. Due to the indoor training arenas, light is a challenge so wide apertures for the fast shutters that are needed and the Z6 delivers. The ONLY problem that took getting used to was the shutter delay compared to the D850, the shutter release button press and actual capture is milliseconds later so took some practice to compensate. From your tests do you notice any change in the shutter response time on the Z6 2?

[@BowlesImages]

Another really good video. I love the even tone without hyperbole and the great information. All these changes make the Z6ii and Z7ii even more compelling.

[@MyAmericanMorning]

I am an enthusiast landscape and wildlife photographer with a Nikon D610 and Tamron 70-200 lens as a main lens. I am considering moving to a Z7II and some S lenses.

Thanks for the video. There are many nice features that nobody has spoken about before. I‘m looking forward to hold it in my hands.

[@perandersen2015]

Thanks for the video Ricci. It really looks like Nikon has addressed most of the things that the Z's were criticised for. They listened! I have a Z6 myself and I think it's great. I hope they will give us Z6 users a firmware upgrade that makes it closer to the version II in regards to the customization. The new "no screen clutter" view would be awesome. Having menus that are (almost) equal makes it easier for user of the current Z and the new Z II and less frustrating.

Hey Ricci…. You are doing a great job with the channel… I have just found out recently about it and I am really liking it… just one question, have you already released the KZbin video about the wireless triggers?, I can seem to find it?.

[@jimlarson4899]

Thanks for the great video. One thing... The camera on the mini tripod in the background made me nervous, just setting there, ready to topple over at any moment. Glad it didn't. :-)

[@laham1025]

@@RicciTalks Hope this is a good way to contact you. Ricci, My name is Les and I binged on several of your videos last night. Your tests of the S Line lens in comparison to the F lens were just awesome. So informative and useful. I am a subscriber to your channel. I have a few questions that hopefully you can address. I’m a serious photographer with Nikon since leaving Minolta for a D 90 in 2009. I pre ordered the D 600 and currently use F line 24/70 F2.8 ED, 70/200 F2.8 VR II, 58 F1/4, and 85 F1/8. I pre ordered the 58 but I never hear about it. I also never had sensor problems with the D 600 but it’s reputation was damaged, replaced by the D 610. I admit that my equipment has been sitting for a year or two but I do read and am looking forward to the next steps as a pro in a few years. But where am I going? I almost moved up to the D 850 but didn’t I get it due to back order unavailability and then talks of mirrorless. I was excited about the Z 7 & 6 but held off with pre orders because of the bad press and Nikon’s initial foray into mirrorless. Plus my Nikon experience acquiring pre orders because of good press. I thought about moving to Sony then more recently to Canon R 5. But that would require all new lenses. Nikon Z 7 II is impressive and has my eye. I thought my current lens setups would work good with the Z 7 II but the S lens are much more impressive than my pro class F lens as your videos are showing. 1. Could the F lens adapter effect the quality of F lens on the Z 7? The S glass is a step up in quality as you point out in your comparison videos. 2. What are your thoughts on the 58 F 1/4 on the Z 7 II? Did you test it on the Z’s? 3. Looks like the S line roadmap updated and now contains an 85 1/4. Not bad but how will that impact the good S 85 1/8? 4. Any chance the S 24-105 will an F4 lens? I’d like a walk around lens but not a S 24/70 F4. 5. What are your thought on using my good F lens with adapter on the Z 7 II? 24/70 F 2.8 ED, 70/200 F 2.8 VR II, 58 F 1/4, and 85 F 1/8. This is well rounded set of lens for how I like to shoot; sport and portrait. Hope I didn’t overwhelm you with questions but I certainly enjoyed your informative tests and presentations.

@@RicciTalks and now I'm searching for a good reason to buy a Z6 II... perhaps as backup body for my Z7... ;-)

[@57sapke]

Thx again for another great video, I just setup my new Z6II. I also own a D850 and I wonder if I must finetune my F lenses on the Z6II.

[@NikCan66]

Always brilliant tutorials a tour de force.

[@BSLKB]

Very helpful as always

[@DIYPerks]

Do you know if the Z6 II has improved video quality? I know the original Z6 uses a full sensor readout for video, and 'downsamples' it to 4k, but the maths it uses is pretty poor so there are some issues with artifacts on fine details, which shouldn't happen on a properly downsampled image. With the Z6 II having two processors, I was wondering whether the downscaling algorithm is improved at all. Having trouble finding info about it.

[@infokanaal]

Hi DIY Perks, I cannot relate with the artifacts you mention, maybe codec compression on extreme high bitrate material? On the Z 6II you can even go 4k60. You will get a crop with 1:1 pixels which becomes even slightly sharper that the transcoded 4k30. Ricci mentioned this in one of his video's. If you want to get even more detail (10 bit), record externally on a Atomos or Black Magic recorder, you can even go (12bit) RAW video.

[@lesladbrook4508]

I do hope Nikon will retrospectively apply those setting options to the Z6 and Z7, for example I shoot the night sky, and would appreciate shutter speeds longer than 30 seconds. Love the menu overview in my view there is more of an upgrade to the Mk ii versions than indicated by some people who seem to have over looked the menu options mostly. Thanks Ricci love you videos.

[@obrys5494]

The didn't and they won't. Just buy a Z6II lol (sarcasm).

Great to see the in menu changes. I'm chomping at the bit to upgrade my Z6 but I'm holding off until I see your focus comparison. Also when's the 70-200mm full review coming?

[@lloydterryjr.bodygraphicsphoto]

Informative, video I’ll have to review those options once I get a Z 7 II. BTW, when you review the review the new radio transceiver, can you let us know if you can use it at the same time with an HDMI cable plugged into the Z6 & Z7. The current radio transceiver partially blocks the mini HDMI port on the Z6 & Z7

[@scottweaverphotovideo]

Thanks for all of this information! I'm not purchasing the z7ii as I've only had the z7 for five months and it's quite adequate for me. (I'll wait for the 8 or 9!) I installed the 3.11 firmware the other day. Was hoping the "Live view info display off" would also work on the z7, but the option to clear the screen doesn't seem to be there.

[@davidnelson3757]

Many thanks for doing all the legwork , its worth dumping my Z6 and buying the upgrade I always thought they would iron out the issues in a upgrade

[@GeoffKirby]

Really enjoying your videos Ricci. Would you be able to review the auto focusing in more detail of the Z6ii as I think we are all waiting to see if that Eye auto focus is better. Also is the Yellow box more stickier. I was using my awesome Z6 the other day shooting a wedding and it just seemed to take to long time to wake back up after not using the camera for an about a min Many thanks G

[@NandoDeHaan]

Hey Ricci, thanks for this in depth video, very helpful. Do you by chance have any info about the lcd lag in the 24/25fps modes? It was bad in the Z 6 and even worse when pairing it with the Ninja V, wondering if the dual processors helped this a bit.

[@markwilliford7471]

Hi Ricci - great job with this and all your vids. Thanks for producing them! I wanted to say that your sound levels seemed to be improved with this vid. Often times I need to turn you way up to hear you, but not on this vid!

I appriciate your input on Z 6II and Z 7II, but I would like to ask about video about 50/1.2s

[@PK-ql5en]

Thank you for this. A quick question: are extended shutter speeds available only in manual mode? Are these not available in e.g. aperture priority?

[@knightsabre7]

Hi Ricci. Great video as usual. Is it possible to enable highlight warnings/blinkies/zebras when shooting stills in the new cameras? In the originals you could see this after the fact while reviewing images, but not in the live view while shooting.

[@AdrianEvansPhotography]

Thank you for the videos and info, z72 on order moving from D850. new Z setup looks very complicated, been checking out all your videos and subscribed. Any guide books anybody can recommend? take care

[@tenl.567]

Thanks for the video. Definitely in for a z7II in about half year later. I am rather curious about the image quality improvement (both jpg and raw) due to the dual processor and firmware imrovement. Would you compare the IQ of z7ii with z7 and D850 later?

[@MaxsWorkshop]

Hey Ricci, great Video! Is it now possible to preview the image in 100% view at higher apertures than f/5.6? The Z6/7 automatically stops up in 100% view, which makes it hard to get hyperfocal distance right at higher aperture. And do you know if the self timer still resets, when you turn the camera off?

[@hotelphotography]

Hi, love the video. I just bought the Z7 II coming out from the D850. How can I see the aperture and shutter changes while looking a the back screen? I am an interior photographer and only use the back screen to compose and see the changes while combining the shutter, aperture, and ISO. Can't find this on the menu... Any suggestions?

[@vasimich3617]

Hi. Thanks for your work. Do you know what is a length cable limit for tethering shooting on z5, z6 and z6ii?

[@FormlessPhotography]

Great info. Pretty detailed. Thanks. Is shipping date still looking at around December for the Z7II?

[@kasper618]

I really wish Nikon would let me assign a different focus mode to the afon button than the shutter release button. I use this all of the time on my d500/850 and I miss it when shooting on the Z. Seems like a simple thing to include that they are leaving out. Would be nice to instantly activate tracking, or the new eye detect wide mode if shooting in single point or dynamic

[@DarrellYoung]

[@ashokkandimalla5962]

Couple of questions regarding the Series II. Nikon DSLRs during play back used to show blinkies (over exposed areas) on the same screen that showed the RGB histogram. That was missing and Z cameras need two different screens to show blinkies and histogram. Has this changed. With series 1, you can also scroll through menus with the sub-selector (joy stick) but strangely when you press the sub-selector instead of selecting the option, the camera goes to shooting menu! Has this been corrected.

[@outdoorstories]

I cant understand why Nikon put longer exposure times just now. Its a great feature I was craving for years. But better later then never. Ricci thanks for the video :)

[@RicciTalks]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@ElGrecoDaGeek]

Rici, they really need a menu option (i menu, multiple button press and hold, and or other) to lock the focus point.

[@andyvan5692]

Ricci, is this pixel mapping like the "dust off reference Photo" option that the D700 had, ie this measured the dust and removed it in the image processing stage, ie: prior to one doing a sensor clean.

[@bryk701]

On Z6 I'm only missing AF speed and second card slot. Pretty happy with image quality. Ohh, maybe ISO64 and af mode shown on top screen would be also nice addition :)

[@Photographersforyou]

Hi Ricci, watch almost all your videos and I know you’ll probably be the best person to ask this question so here goes - For movie recording AF speed - does this also work for f-mount lenses (or is it only functioning correctly for Z lenses) ? And also the af fine tuning does this work for f-mount af/s lenses also ? Much appreciate your feedback thanks

[@allenbuyck7957]

I have a basic question that would apply to the Z6 or the Z6 ii. It has to do with image review. When i take a shot, using the viewfinder, the image review shows up in the viewfinder and I have to slightly push the shutter button to have it go away and take the next shot. Is there any setting that would have this camera act like my D850, and only show image review on the LCD, and not the viewfinder, if I am using the viewfinder for photographing. I know I could completely turn image review off, but I still like to "chimp" on the back screen once in a while, but I don't like that I have to clear it form the viewfinder to be able to compose and take my next shot. I am not sure I am being clear, but appreciate your advise. Thank you , and thank you for all of your informative videos.

[@geoffn8963]

Hey Ricci, thanks for doing this informative video. Seems you are the only guy in N.A. that has early access....great for you but a huge fail on Nikon's marketing department. I have a question....when you are in H+ mode to get the fastest FPS can you still select AF modes other than Single Point and the FPS just drops to what a Z6/7 would have done in H+. For example on the Z7II the 10FPS is limited to using Single Point AF, can I still select Auto/Tracking and it will just drop to 9FPS like the Z7 would have had at H+ with all AF modes available? Thanks

[@mrnice6598]

Great video i have the z6 .. i would really like to see a video on taking pictures of birds in flight to see has the AF TRACKING is any good because as you know the z6 is not any good for this thanks

[@raysanders332]

Have you done a video on video settings. How do I get more DOF when doing videos on Z 6 II?

[@alexandrevidigal8433]

Hi, with extended shutter speed turn to on, will camera calculate exposure after 30" or only work as a timer? I mean, for example if you use 3 stops ND and ask for 8 ", if you change to a 10 stops ND, will the machine calculate time above 30"? And Brakting too? Thanks

[@douglasritchie2836]

Hi Ricci, Just recently got the Z 7, do you think Nikon will have another firmware update with some of the new software in the new versions, I am thinking of something simple like extending the 30 seconds maximum to the 15 minutes they will have on the version 2.

[@gbye007]

Brilliant as usual.

[@RicciTalks]

Thanks a lot !

[@patricklindahl868]

What about using the Ux settings? Any changes? On Z6/Z7 if you use Ux and do some temporary changes, they are reset to saved settings when the camera is turned off (more than 5 sek). On the D7x00, these temporary settings remained as long as the Ux dial is not changed.

[@tobis2265]

Hi, thanks for the video. One question. Does the Interval shooting mode with "interval autofocus" mode work well for self-portraits? I`m a lot in the mountains alone and i like to have some pictures standing in front of the camera :) My Sony System doesn't offer this feature and i consider switching to Canon or Nikon.

[@LowkeyExpeditions]

Hi Ricci, Will these Z 6ii and Z 7ii remember and recall their drive mode even after going in standby or a restart? Like they do for Single , CL, CH. With my Z 6 it can't recall Timer after going in standby or a restart. Hope Nikon resolved that issue or atleast provide a similar option like "save focus position"... which can be called "recall timer" or something similar.

[@IustinPop]

Wait, my Z50 has an "Energy Saving" mode… Hah, yes. Awesome, thanks! Now I should the manual about what it exactly does. The fast suspend is annoying with the Zs, true.

Ridiculous arrogance on Tokyo's part to ignore repeated articulated requests for this Option, which is so simple. Nikon has had the code since 2015 ie pending releasing the D5 and D500. NO sale to me until then. There is NO excuse this time. These cameras can languish in warehouses until the Firmware - or will it be Z vIII?

[@ganeshbeee]

@@FCotterill Couldn't agree more. Heights of arrogance by Nikon and no wonder they're struggling to sell their mirrorless bodies. On one had, the Z lenses are setting new benchmarks with outstanding optics and on the other hand there are these half baked camera bodies with missing features and functionalities. This is one of the features a lot of photographers including some of the prominent ones like Thom Hogan and Brad Hill have expressly asked for in several of their blog posts.

[@ganeshbeee]

@@RicciTalks Hi Ricci, could you please pass on the message officially to Nikon, as to how important this feature is for a lot of sports/action/wildlife shooters? I tried my best to write to Nikon officially on this one right after the first gen Zs were introduced but no luck. I am a D850 user and was seriously considering adding a Z6II or Z7II to complement my D850 for wildlife shooting but the lack of assigning the AF-on+AF area mode alone is a show stopper for me and a lot of folks. This may sound a bit silly but thats how much i use that function with my Nikon DSLR and i would like my Nikon DSLRS and Mirrorless to "Handle" the same way.

Super disappointed also with this oversight. I can't figure out any reason why they can't include this. Why are they half baking these cameras compared to their logical DSLR counterparts...ie Z7II vs D850? Nikon wants me to shell out another $4K CAD for what?

[@kaisalgawi791]

Would the older Z6 receive any firmware update in line with the Z6 II?

[@raysanders332]

Can you tell me why I do not have the four viewfinder options, I only have three, the viewfinder only is not showing? All the options are selected in the menu.

[@lazyliquid]

Any idea if some of these features will come to z6/7 via firmware update? Would really like to see the extended shutter speeds

[@jaspergoodall3206]

I REALLY hope so. I’m pretty pissed that Nikon would make me spend thousands just to get a clean rear screen - like almost EVERY other digital camera that’s ever been made 😡

Don’t hold your breath 🤢

[@jimabels9075]

I doubt they would. I've been waiting since the D780's release when I saw it in there. It's a feature I'm sure they want to help sell the new bodies. I think Nikon did a great job of adding features throughout the years on our Z bodies. I want it but if I were them I'd leave it only on the new bodies. They need money to survive anyway.

[@richpoinvil9618]

I would guess there is a small chance after the sales of the Z6/7II level off.

[@scheppermann]

hope so too! I think it would also help those who are purchasing a II model but still using an older one side by side, having a more consistent menu..

[@barryobrien1890]

Congrats on the race to 20k. Any chance the z6ii will ship with different kit lenses

[@bryk701]

Z6 II still doesn't show af mode on top screen? It's a little annoying when you have to look through view finder every time you switch between af modes. On D850 I used to just press function button and scroll the wheel while looking at top screen. It was quick and discreet .

[@victorziegler6001]

Hey Ricci, thanks for the video! Are you planning to release the 70-200 + 2x tc - 500mm pf comparison ? I’m really looking forward to that one!

[@RicciTalks]

Yep Iv got some really good examples shots for that one just so much to edit and so many videos to make 🤣

[@johnvanderploeg]

thanks for the update! Really looking forward to a video about the new autofocus, when will you be doing that?

[@RicciTalks]

As soon as I can get a Production unit should be next week or so

[@johnvanderploeg]

@@RicciTalks AWESOME, looking forward to it! I’m planning on purchasing a z6ii but need to know how the AF works, hopefully much better!

[@seethroughdifferentlens]

Waiting for your Z6ii real world review....need to book my Z6ii....

[@uk9431]

[@insidefeelings9434]

3:46 About bracketing in that Interval Timer Shooting menu. I think, you have always been able to do that. Just think they moved the option into the ITS menu. Quote from the online manual: onlinemanual.nikonimglib.com/z7_z6/en/09_menu_guide_03_30.html Bracketing Adjust bracketing settings before starting interval timer photography. If exposure, flash, or ADL bracketing is active while interval timer photography is in effect, the camera will take the number of shots in the bracketing program at each interval, regardless of the number of shots specified in the interval timer menu. If white balance bracketing is active while interval timer photography is in effect, the camera will take one shot at each interval and process it to create the number of copies specified in the bracketing program. Note that bracketing cannot be used during interval timer photography when On is selected for Interval priority.
