Morton Hilmer is going to love the auto capture feature. I fully expect to see his badgers at all hours of the night and morning.

Fantastic, as a wildlife photographer Auto Capture was feature that I was waiting for. Now my Z9 can function as a trap-camera without any limitation on image quality. Now we need pre-capture-release in Raw.. Thanks Nikon.

Auto capture will be great for sports and action photography

[MikeJamesMedia]

Excellent! The Z9 just keeps getting better! Thanks for the explanations, Ricci. :)

Great video Ricci as always. Awesome to see Nikon stepping up again, fantastic to see.

Thank you Ricci for another top shelf production keeping all of us informed in detail of the latest on the Z family. Looking forward to putting these to use and watching your takes on the in depth use of the new improvements. Nikon has done such a great job with the Z family, and you are on top of it all in such a straight forward presentation. Well done Nikon and Well Done Ricci!!!

Auto capture will be great for private investigators. Now they can take a nap in the car.

I bet your teaser at the end hints to the release of the ~200-600, looking very much forward to that 😊

Ricci. I was having trouble setting up the Z9 Auto capture and making it work because most of the other videos were difficult to follow and often incomplete. Your video on this subject was excellent and has brought me a long way toward being able to use this capability. I have now subscribed to your YouTube channel. Keep up the excellent work.

Thanks Ricci, concise and informative, as ever... It would be lovely to get a few tweeks for the Z6_2 via firmware, especially a little tightening up of some of the autofocus modes.

Fantastic new features! Nikon have shown the tremendous capabilities of the Z9 as a platform for software and firmware development. In the past, adding features of this magnitude would usually require purchasing a new body. However, Nikon has demonstrated its ability to continue to innovate and add important features to existing hardware. This says a lot about the power underlying the hardware architecture of the Z9 and its future flexibility. It also heralds a new era in camera manufacturing that allows the addition of significantly improved functionality through major firmware updates. For the photographer making important and expensive purchasing decisions the ability to add significant new features adds tremendous value to the initial investment made in purchasing this camera and the Z mount lenses. I have a hunch that Nikon has more exciting firmware updates planned for the future of this amazing camera.

Brilliant Professional Feature! I love that Z9 keep updating their new firmware for us! Can't wait to try my new sharp trap camera!

[ReymondKurniawan]

Very informative as always, Ricci. Thank you for making and sharing this video for the Nikon Z9 community. As always, your expertise and honest review are appreciated.

Hi, thank you for the interesting videos! About Auto capture: Did you notice, that the minimal distance, which can be set is not (!) the minimal distance, which you have for the particular lens for regular use, but seemingly the 20x of the focal length for the so called „prime“ lenses (not zooms)? As I tested, the minimal distance to set with auto capture is with the Z 800mm f6.3 16m(!) instead of regularly 5m. (With TC 2x 32m instead of 5m…) The corresponding values for Z 105mm MC 2, 1m (instead of 29cm), for the Z 24-120mm 0, 4m at 24mm, but it grows gradually to 2, 4m up to the longest focal length for 120mm (which regularly allows to focus 0, 4m to. For this lens zooming back to 24mm the minimal distance does‘t change again automatically to 40cm. It seems an allowed closest distance to set for the (not wide angel focal length) possible with auto capture limited by the software to the 20x of the particular (not wide angel) focal lens independently of its regular near focus capacity, which is much closer as that for auto capture (as I wrote the individual values for lenses I tested above). How do you think about? I mean, even if auto capture is generally a very good feature, at that point there is a very relevant limitation for wildlife photographer, with potential to improve this issue. I find it interesting, that up to now no reviews mentioned this issue. Even in the manual („addendum“ to firmware 4.0 there is no word about the limitation of the closest didtance, which differs from that, which the particular lens itself allows. Best regards Josef😮

Thanks Ricci excellent review, 18 months ago I was so close jumping ship to Sony, so pleased I stayed with the Nikon family, SEE YOU VERY VERY SOON 😁

[Photographersforyou]

Im sure….you will see us all very soon Ricci - thanks for the video’s your putting out, very informative.

[dr.dilipdesarker]

Very lucidly explained, thank you so much. None other than you have explained update in a clear thought.

[wilteduk]

👍Exposure delay, hurray. Now bring it to the Z8. Bring pre-release RAW support. That little delay after "very soon", something's coming. Z500 plz or 200-600 or Zf, my wish list is long.

[LondonViewpoints]

Wow the low ISO’s on log recording are a very much welcomed feature

[lesladbrook]

Great summary as always Ricci, I would love to see Nikon put back "Peaking Stack Image" into the latest version of each model Nikon, this was in the Z6 and Z7, it was very useful out in the field when using focus stacking capture to check you had enough images for the image you needed.
