Nikon Z8 Subject tracking Alternative

#nikonz8 #photographygear #review
This is why I love the KZbin community! a recent comment on my last video explaining how you can replicate subject tracking on the Z8 and Z9, if you love using this function on all of the Z cameras which came before the Z8 well now you can replicate it on the flagship cameras!

RSF is a game changer! Great update thanks 👏🏻

[@Brian-xo3mk]

Thanks Barry, I'm a wildlife hobbyist and also acquired a Z8 recently and I must admit that if it wasn't for U-Tube video's like yours I would be stuck. I will attempt your newly acquired method. 👍 Keep up the good work, mate.

Appreciation that man thanks!

How are you? My z8 doesn't follow focus for video but not for photos. What setting will human follow focus work when taking pictures?

Am I right in assuming you have to hold the fn button down to get it to keep tracking?

[@sarahhillphoto]

Nothing happens when I press my fn2 button. Also, I have a small red square on my screen, and I'm not sure why. I just got this camera a couple of weeks ago and am new to mirrorless, so any advice is welcome and appreciated! My camera is missing focus quite a bit, either dropping it or back focusing. Could this be because my settings aren't right?

[@BarryMountford]

The small red box is the small area AF which anything thing in the red square the camera will focus on, the Z8 has a button on the bottom left front corner of the camera which you can press and change your AF area, or you can access it in the quick menu, have a good play with all of the AF modes to get used to the camera, and to start of just select AFF area and then select which subject you are shooting ie birds,people,cars etc and the camera will do most of the work for you. Hope that helps.
