Way better than the video Nikon shared with a license, thank you!

[passenger]

Thank you. Really clear . I use the pause/ rewind - that's what is for - and I take some time out with the z7ii - slowly the labels, nouns, buttons and functions become clearer.

Thanks very much for the time and expertise you shared with us. A question about bracketing. I have a Panasonic Lumix ZS100 and I set one of the user custom buttons to do bracketing. Can I do the same thing with the Z6ii? That would seem more efficient then having to go into the menu and change from single to continuous mode each time I want to use bracketing. The other alternative is to always leave the Nikon in the continuous mode. Your thoughts?

Can’t hardly get any better. The best review ever. Thank you sir.

[johnscratchley]

Thanks for this video, I have been using my Z6-II for over a year but have never used some of these applifation.

[emecere]

Very good video! I didn't know my camera had so many features!

[timelessphotoshoot]

you are one of the best teacher thank you

[electrolyteblend]

So the screen won't show you what the final product will look like until after you take the photo and review it? Is there a way to change that setting?

[pesto]

10:30 - would be nice if the view just showed you the underexposed results intead of just the bar blinking at you... wysiwyg?

[freddieslaughter]

Can you use the Nikon SB-910 Flash on these cameras?

[reginaldogarcia]

Excellent instrructional video. Thank you!! Btw, what table top tripod and head are you using?

[plumberski]

A good refresher video for me. Please clarify this. If I heard it correctly, you said the dynamic range will be less on lower ISO. I thought I read it before that the dynamic range will be higher when ISO is low. ???

[gtralive-]

Can I use it for my Z7? Pronounced “Gringo”?

[-nashwan_harazy.]

Error.

Press shutter-release button to reset.
How can I fix it?

6:28 It drives me crazy that as I adjust the exposure controls with the dial, it takes a while to refresh their values on the LCD display. Must be only few milliseconds, but it ruins the whole momentum of the shooting process. So irritating. Things have gone too digital these days. I miss the straightforwardness of DSLR controls.
