My Nikon Z6iii Setup Guide Is done! It covers way more than the video series and I've actually changed a few things since shooting the video, so lots of new stuff too. Check it out at the link below:

Steve, I received my Nikon Z 6III camera a couple days ago and was at a loss to set it up. Nikon included a worthless User's Manual that basically did nothing to explain or show how to set up and utilize the many useful functions that this sophisticated camera provides. I am only an amateur photographer whose prior camera is the Nikon D5100. I was lucky enough to stumble across your 4 setup videos for this Z 6III camera. Your presentation was thorough and "spot on". I can't thank you enough for coming to my rescue.

Thanks Steve and well done. I do a lot more candid street photography than wildlife and your settings work for that also.

Steve, a million thanks for the setup videos for the new Z6III. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your videos. I know they take an incredible amount of time that you could use shooting instead! Thanks for your generosity! Can’t wait for the manual to come out.

[sevemiller]

Thanks again, Steve. Just finished the 4th setup video. Even went back and quickly went through the first two now that I have the Z6III in hand. I know it took you a lot of time to put these together. Thanks so much...great job!

Steve. This is my first leap into Nikon mirrorless after a D500 and even with the help of Mastering the Z6ii I was struggling. Now, after all four videos I feel I have a chance of mastering this complicated piece of kit- can't wait for the book though!! Keep up the good work.

Excellent series, thx! Helped as both overview and setup! Already impressed with the new pup, big improvement over prior Z6II!

[smallfarmfun]

Thank you, Steve! I enjoy all the content you put out for us. It really helps hearing it from someone that uses these things in the specific way we are interested in.

[tdalton]

Well, that was fun. Appreciate see your point of view for what you use your camera for.

Thanks Steve, I love your setup guide for the Z9 and will definitely be purchasing the Z6III setup guide as well. Great job!

[RockOn]

Wow, definitely subbed and will be on the lookout for your guide book (watched all 4 videos). I'm a professional....hobby collector 😂...so fairly new to photography but having this video was easy and helped me learn the camera basics while going through initial setup. Thanks for doing this, I learned a lot!

[harrykitch]

Very helpful set of guides. Definitely will be going back to my notes when I start setting up my new Z6iii. Thanks and looking forward to your Sept set-up guide.

[CloverPhotoandVideo]

Thank you Steve for putting these videos together. I am coming from a Z6 but this camera, as you know has much more technology and features so your videos (yes I watched all four) were very helpful. I have your Nikon Z Autofocus book and will be picking up your Z6iii book as well.

[leslielim]

Thank you for this excellent series. Just traded my 6II for a 6III yesterday. Your series has certainly helped with setting it up. Looking forward to more on this camera.

[OregonTim]

Thanks, Steve, for a very helpful set of setup videos! Much appreciated.

[briandurell]

Absolutely fabulous, Steve. I have just completed my second run through all four setup videos. First time to get the flavour and decide that this will be a setup I could use at least as a starting point. The second time through was to setup my Z6iii which astonishingly arrived today. Talk about timing! I’m going to an airshow this weekend. Prefer birds but I’ll see how the autofocus does locking onto BIG birds.

Thanks Steve for putting together such an excellent guide. I've found it super useful as I work to setup my Z6iii, coming from a D7100. Whilst it's quite familiar, there are just so many more options and customisations to work through! Looking forward to seeing your setup guide when it comes out.

[vsk]

Thanks so much for putting these videos together. These helped a lot.!

[sallyarcher-thomson]

Always helpful and I have bought the book too. Thank you.

Steve - I’m an amateur who less than occasionally shoots wildlife but find your videos and books quite essential and valuable! I know you suggest lossless compression in the setup guide but wanted to pass off to any apple photos and Mac users something I learned the hard way - lossless compression is the only raw option that is recognized by MAC OS and iOS. - i.e. Apple software only reads to the last level of Z6ii NEF Files so the other raw compression options can’t be read.
