Excellent presentation, clear and to the point. So glad marketing did not get involved with rhythmic music! Good job Ludovic!

I was getting shaky 4k video with my Z6. Your video helped me fix that, thanks.

Hi, Excellent tutorial for setting up the Nikon Z9 for video. I’m sure I’ll have to watch this a few more times. I shoot my Z9 and all my cameras “back button” focus when shooting regular photos. How will that affect auto focusing in the video mode?

On the i menu, which auto focus setting should I choose? Let’s say I’m using (mostly) the 24-120 Z lens, hand held which IS mode do I set?

I apologize for so many questions.

You are very explicit in the way you explain the settings. Not being a normal video shooter (but wanting to shoot some video), I’m trying to get as much understanding of these settings as possible.

Thank you and Nikon 13:26 Europe for this wonderful YouTube tutorial. 🎥 🤙 😀

Good video. Looks like Nikon is doing well on the video side. No one really goes over the many capabilities. It still has some ways to go but it is amazing how far their video has come in such a short time.

Will there be a firmware update adding desqueeze options for using anamorphic lenses on the z9? Also they forgot to mention in this video if you're shooting in NRAW you do NOT get the option to go into DX mode. Nor can you choose to shoot in the 1:1 square format which would be incredibly useful for anamorphic shooting. Not being able to use the Z9s main features in NRAW honestly makes me question whether I will use this for professional work. I had gotten this camera with the dream of shooting with my lomo anamorphics on such a small body, but needless limitations prevent the user from using anamorphic correctly.

Thank you very much for this. It should really be made clear that this is only for SDR 10 BIT video. Most of these functions will not work on HLG or NLOG recordings.

Hello, We need a tutorial on how to setup the Nikon Zs with the DJI Ronin RS series. Thanks !

[matthiasfah]

Thank you for the video. Is there any possibility to see the meteringmeasurement (+ or - EV) while you are filming video?

[CTMPRODUCTIONSLLC]

Thanks for the video! Question, I'm setting the camera to 4K but when I upload the footage, the dimensions are reading 1920x1080. Any idea why?

[edinburghaction]

Why can't I select 3D track in video mode? Also in still mode why can't I shoot 25 frames per second jpegs as I only get the option of 30 frames per second. In stills mode why am I limited to burst of 200 continuous frames and not infinity? Why does the Z9 not record Tiff files?

[SwanSycorax]

Thanks for the video, however, I am baffled! At 2:44 in your video you are setting up the "I-menu" with the Frame size/frame rate on your second from the left, top line. On my Z9 which has the most up to date firmware - 2.11, I cannot find that option under the list of items I can assign to a slot on the I-menu!! I have checked over and over again but it is not coming up. I have made sure the ring on the DISP button is set to video, not stills. Why can I not find that option?

[JinnBaa]

Need some help please.
I can’t seem to turn ON vibration reduction or Electronic VR on my Z9. They are not highlighted.
Which settings do I need to change to get these options highlighted

[bobbyzitting]

What are you using as a video capture card in order to capture the video from the display of your Z9? Most of the cards I have found are not compatible with the Z9.

[pyroBlastM]

Can you record video clips while in photo mode?

[markos_photography]

thanks for the video. btw as far as I know focus peaking only works in Manual focus mode and not as you explained "while being in AF and as soosn as I touch manual focus ring...." Correct?

[jserenity]

Why am I seeing different in my i?
What firmware did you had?

[JoshWilliams]

I would like to connect my iPhone to the Z9 using the USB-C port. Then I would like to use my phone as a monitor and remote control. How do I do that?

[elmono]

So what is the best AF setting for Gun 'n' Run type photography ? Is it AF-F ? Thank you
