I have D700 , when I saw you going through the Z6 II menu it´s so familiar , that´s what I like about Nikon you don´t need spend months until you get use to the menu has other brands has.

8:17 another awesome Nikon only feature is you can set the playback to only show images from the current (or specified) folder. This is such an underrated feature, when reviewing images on the back of the LCD we always never want to scroll into another folder from another shoot - it is always embarrassing to say the least. I wish ever other camera brand will adapt this file system.

When changing lenses in such environment, to avoid sensor getting dirty, I remove battery with camera on. There the shutters comes down. Have been doing this with a Z6 when necessary. Actually at 200000 + actuations with no issues (neither no XQD/CFexpress fail). Thank you Taylor!

Active D Lighting set to high while in movie mode could open up the dark shadows with more detail and exposure in shadows, would be useful for video capture in bright sunny weather and maybe indoors in dim lighting. Kind of like Flat Picture file (although not as aggressive as that) and might save having to use that and N log setting. Thanks for a very useful tip.

Thanks for the setting hints 🙏5:30, that closed shutter blades are kinda urban legend they will protect your sensor. The shutter blades are the most fragile part of the camera, you may destroy them even by the touch of a feather and that may end in an expensive repair. Sony offers it as an option (!!!) to the 9M2, so you can decide yourself if you want the blades closed or open when powered off. My Leica M10 has it by default closed, you may not change it like on the 9M2 and guess what: it has more dust on the sensor like my Z6 and 9M2. I make a guess: it’s more important how the camera (brand) handles static electricity on the sensor. If that is avoided you are (almost) dust free also in dusty environment (common sense: of course this will not be like so in a desert sand storm, camera fully exposed to it and then changing the lens), if not, there is always dust on the sensor.

I'm just starting to move from S5 -> Z6ii. From the moment I started to learn Z6ii I felt like home. S5 is a great one, but what it comes to stills, not too handy. One thing I found in S5 that seems to be missing with Z6ii is that with Z6ii I wouldn't like to leave image preview on in EVF. It has a nasty delay, which makes it about useless. S5 had an instant feedback in EVF. I enjoyed setting it showing image preview in EVF for just a second. It was great in studio work where you could see the expression (like eyes open) or other errors (reflection on glasses) immediately and without leaving the EVF. Even better, if you were shooting faster than 1 pic per second, the preview got faster, too. Other than that I'm really looking forward my journey with Nikon. It feels so good to have a camera again that is actually made for shooting stills.

Hi Taylor, I was wondering if might have some wisdom/tips on an issue I am running into with the Z6ii. I just did a family shoot and my exposure was good and dialed in from what the camera was telling me and "showing me" from the image review. I went to upload the image to my computer and the images looked perfect like in the camera then dramatically changed and went underexposed. I am not even in lightroom yet. So now I am a little panicked as I have to edit 100 under exposed photos that look nothing like what I was seeing out in the field. Have you experienced this and if so, what are the steps to fix this? Greatly appreciate anytime you can spare for this question. Thank you!

Thanks a lot Taylor for your honest review and explanation on the Z6II. I was in the proces of swapping my Canon 6D for a full frame mirrorless. I was in doubt which camera to get (A7III, Canon R6 or the Z6II). But just pre-ordered the Z6II after seeing some of your video's. Seems a solid camera and I like the fact that I start with a brand new body instead of one that is on the market for two years already. Can't wait to play with it. Thinking of starting with the 85mm 1.8 (as that was one of my favorite lenses on my 6D too) and add the 35mm 1.8 and 50mm 1.8 later on.

I think most people question about this camera is the autofocus in low light. there is somone from china who tested the Canon R6 vs Z6ii and Z6. The z6ii at least held its own if not even better in some case, but it was daylight etc. I think this is more or less the less with perhaps backlight subject that people would certainly like to see. I think you would get a lot of views for that.

Thank you for this video. It was a little fast, but luckily we can pause the video. Do you plan to make a video on using the different focusing options? Like when/where to use them? I used to use back button focus w/single point focus. Is that still necessary? Obvi single point doesn’t work with the face/eye detection. Maybe I’m overthinking it but coming from a dslr, it’s a bit confusing deciding how to set it up and which focus setting to use for subjects like family portraits, kids running, etc. Thanks again!

Pressing the button turns it back on, but there's a bit of a delay, and I'm missing shots because of it. Also - What ISO speed should I have my camera set at for sports/lacrosse (continuous) photos?

You should set the option allow change without button hold. Easier to tap the ISO FN1/2 or other buttons and scroll with the dials than holding the button down and scrolling the dial at the same time

I find them a bit too easy to accidentally hit, so I don’t mind them being hold to move

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Hmm yeah definitely agree with that for the FN buttons in fast pace shooting situations. I mainly had it setup that way for ISO and the front dial.

Hi Would you recommend me moving from d850 to z6 2 for events and portrait shoots. I was wondering if z6 2s eyeAF will be good benifit over d850. Or should I continue with d850. Many times I feel some expressions are missed due to not so perfect focusing.

I enjoy my Z6iis for wedding much more than the D850 for the reasons you specify here. Just so much easier to get expressions.

Nice video Taylor! Here is a sweet trick! If you turn off the VR then take out the battery while the camera is on, the front curtain will cover up the sensor! Now change the lens with no worries and pop the battery back in, turn on the power and click the shutter button to open up the front curtain again!! Viola!! Easy Peasy :-)

How can I select TIFF format on my Z6II ? It should show up in the PHOTO SHOOTING MENU > IMAGE QUALITY menu. TIFF is missing from that menu.

There is no TIFF option. What would be the benefit to that? The files are nearly 150 MB each.

so when I choose image review as monitor only, it only shows up on the monitor if I took the photo using the back LCD. If I take shot with my eye up to the EVF and then pull away to see the picture, it does not show up on the monitor like a DSLR. What am I doing wrong?

Does it shoot raw double exposure? Does the picture profile remain the same when switching between photo and video mode? I would like it to remain different as set in each mode

Hi, Does Z6ii have sensor protection while changing lense ? I mean any protector which temporarily comes down n avoids external dirt to come in contact with sensor. Pls anyone reply.

Not in my experience. Apparently you can do a battery pull while the camera is on to leave the shutter closed while changing lenses but I haven’t done it myself

Did they change Image Review (monitor only) behavior? In the past it did not work like a DSLR as you’re describing. If you were shooting with the viewfinder and pulled your eye away, the photo did not come up on the LCD. I hope they did change it because I find image review in the EVF super distracting.

Taylor Jackson I don’t have a Z6 but on my Z5 it doesn’t and from what others have said online neither does Z6. Very frustrating especially since it’s the default behavior on the Canons.
