I’m a simple man. I see a Omar video I watch a Omar video. I am satisfied

[coIorsone]

Your video-making style is a joy to watch. I love the humor you incorporate while still teaching us so much!

[jamiereusch]

Hey Omar, I’ve followed your set up guidance for my Fuji xt-20 going back probably 4 yrs, and here I am still following your guidance as I contemplate upgrading to the Nikon Z6III . Entertaining and informative, as always!

[Kayaktravels]

Yes Omar. Make one for video mode! Thank you. 👍 (your videos 👍👍)

I just got my z6iii and this helped me so much!!! I also shoot events and live music and so many of your suggestions make so much sense. Especially custom buttons for autofocus. Changed those immediately!

[wheretherubberhitstheroad]

Just ordered my z6iii and landed an event gig, your auto focus button setup and explanation is gold. Thanks 🙏

[MattisProbably]

I do use back button focus on my Z7 II as well, especially with larger lenses like my 180-600. Just feels a lot more stable!
But! I do focus with the shutter button as well. At the zoo where I volunteer as staff photographer a lot of our critters, like our ruffed lemurs who I know for about 11 years now, always get very close to me and they usually sit on the ground. So to get shots on eye level I take the camera low to the ground and compose through the display. And from my experience using the shutter button to focus is a lot more comfortable when I do that.

This was super helpful! I've just adjusted most of the buttons on my z6iii's for tomorrow's wedding!

I still shoot with my z6 II but I have set my buttons up for me. You can set the user modes up for specific types of photography so that when you switch the modes it will automatically set the way you want it for that mode. You may have to to settings for milky way or go to settings for sports. I'm glad the z6 III is similar to the z8 because I really have that one set up. I wish they had used banks with it instead of use modes but the access to the user modes on a dial might be faster than going into the i menu to charge modes. One thing you didn't mention about back button focus is that it combines the use of single auto focus and continuous focus. Just tap the button once for single and hold it down for continuous. Once again, good video.

Super helpful, especially the command dial changes. It feels much more natural to me.

[lawrencemurray]

Omar, you are the master of defining what the function buttons do. On the ZF I have the one and only function button set for DX mode. How can I set one of the function buttons (FN 1) on the Z6 3 to the DX mode?

[cameraz]

Great tips, Omar. I made most of these changes on my Z6 II, but you can't transfer them to the Z6 III via a card, so thank you for showing how to make the changes.
Yes, please do a video on how to set up the camera's video mode.

[kui]

‘Trash’ button is kind of a wasted button … Nice one Omar!

[fatherdanmclaughlinosa]

Omar, you are a great help in setting preferences for the Z6 III. You learned to like the Z6 II but now like the z8. I appreciate your effort to help others to use the camera they buy. Dan

[jalovecjoffrey]

Omar is the good vibe of photography. Thank you for this.

[tonyzambos]

Wow! I thought there was a lot to learn when I jumped from a Nikon D300 to the D7500. Thanks, Omar, for another enjoyable video.

[Earlyb]

Thank you so much for this video Omar. Now that I can finally consider upgrading from my Z5 to the Z6111, this set up video is priceless. I too appreciate your sense of humor and very relevant tips and tricks for us to use our gear more effectively. I think you are an amazing person and photographer. Keep on doing what you are doing here. God bless!

[charleslsmith]

Thank you, sir. You are a Nikon Lovers dream. The Z system only gets better because of your insights. Omar 👍🏾

[ronaldmoravec]

I give you great credit to remember all this while working.. I use the mode dial. Or a Leica, 3 controls, shutter, f stop, ISO, and be done. The more stuff you have to remember, the less I like the camera.

Would love to see something similar with Zf. I personally wish display button would be in the same position as z6iii have it.
