Try using the exposure compensation with the auto iso

Happens to me with the auto ISO, I usually dial the exposure compensation down during the day to balance

Beautiful photos. I like renting a lot of different systems and shoot Canon, but I think the Z8 with updated software is an awesome camera. I have only used it with long primes for wildlife but I found the 3-D tracking for me to be the best when I was using it. No system is perfect and it sometimes takes a while to get used to new gear. The photos and footage you showed are beautiful. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🤗💖

I know with the Nikon DSLR cameras you have to hit the OK button after a menu choice to lock in the change. Your Bird AF button could be programed for exposure simulation or maybe it just shows exposure simulation during Bird Eye AF? Just a guess. My Nikon DSLR camera is 10 years old & Auto ISO bounces up & down needlessly sometimes & when needed to make an adjustment sometimes takes a photo or two to do so. Most pros are using manual ISO and the control ring for ISO adjustment as needed (keep your left hand on the control ring) seeing the exposure in the EVF with mirrorless. Thanks for the vid & hope this system works out for you.

I’m also a Fuji shooter, and looking at the Nikon Z8, primarily because of the lens options from Nikon. When you are comfortable with it, can you compare the systems and is it worth switching? I’m hoping Fuji adds a 500 this year. I like the XH2S and have had good luck with it shooting wildlife, but not so much with the XH2. I thought the 40mp would be better, but I have not see it yet. I have the same lenses as you do.

Thank you, when I made the decision to purchase the Nikon Z8, a big part of it was their lens selection and their price. I feel that you can get more for your money with Nikon right now bad news for you if you haven’t already purchased it is that Nikon has recently increased there prices, The 180-600 mm lens for example a $200 price increase and the sale price for the Nikon Z8 went from 3400 to 3700. Hopefully they’ll have better sale price offers during the holidays. I am having a big learning curve, though with a Nikon , so far as the auto focus settings, but I am happy with the camera thus far. Hope you subscribe so you can see any future thoughts that I may have. Regards.

Have you changed systems completely from fuji to Nikon? Thanks

Thank you for watching. No not all but I’ve made changes.

I’ve had the same set up for about a month now, my first mirrorless camera as I’ve moved from the D850. I haven’t bothered with the battery grip, as 20 frames per second is more than enough for the aviation photography I mainly do. I have though added a Smallrig L bracket, which deepens the grip a bit. I’m still learning the Z8 system, but so far the subject detection works really well. I find that wide area large and centre weighted metering is great for aircraft in flight. Great video by the way 👍🏻📷
