Can you use the Nikon SB-910 Flash on these cameras?

[@electrolyteblend]

So the screen won't show you what the final product will look like until after you take the photo and review it? Is there a way to change that setting?

[@teddywetherby1761]

Hi, How do I turn the ISO auto off?

[@pesto12601]

10:30 - would be nice if the view just showed you the underexposed results intead of just the bar blinking at you... wysiwyg?

[@plumberski8854]

A good refresher video for me. Please clarify this. If I heard it correctly, you said the dynamic range will be less on lower ISO. I thought I read it before that the dynamic range will be higher when ISO is low. ???

[@JohnGreengoPhotography]

The native ISO for the Z7ii and Z6ii is ISO "100" where you will get maximum dynamic range and minimum noise. By going down to ISO "50" the sensor loses about 1 stop of dynamic range. Going higher than ISO "100" will increase noise levels. In a nut shell - it's always best to keep your ISO at the lowest possible setting, with the exception of going below the camera's native ISO (in this case ISO "100").

[@plumberski8854]

@@JohnGreengoPhotographyNoted and thanks. Didnt know the issue below the native iso. Thanks.

[@reginaldogarcia770]

Excellent instrructional video. Thank you!! Btw, what table top tripod and head are you using?

A very popular question - it's made by "Really Right Stuff": TFA-01 (legs) and BH-30 (head)

In queueing up these videos with the intent to watch them all, I didn't bother with any of them when I saw there were only 3 here. While I appreciate that businesses need to make money, I can find other videos that explain the features I'm interested in or just RTFM. Thanks anyway.

[@patrickmorgan7173]

Why? Just why?

[@AStCG1989]

Where is the 70% highlight blinkies or zebras. That’s how I get perfect skin tones on my Sony every time.

[@JohnGreengoPhotography]

Nikon cameras do have highlight displays, but only for the movie recording function of the camera. This is covered in Sections 9 and 15 of the full course ► jgp.world/NikonZ7iiZ6ii

@@JohnGreengoPhotography think I will stick with Sony.. seems like a no brainer feature in the modern camera, not enough people are talking about
