Tom, Your ability to explain and show how to use tools is amazing! You are a great teacher and helping so many people understand how to capture better pictures with their equipment. Also congratulations on reaching the milestone of over 1, 000 subscribers! I am positive your channel is going to grow exponentially.

Haven't tested the autocapture yet, very exiting way to get some genre photos. Wild animals closeups with wide angle e g. Thx for sharing

The synch speed shutter... that's my only gripe with the Z9, I had 1/320s on my D810! Also looking at what they have on the Canon bodies, "face priority exposure", when shooting with TTL flash. That's something I'd like to be copied to our Nikon bodies. That way the Flash will be more accurate in calculating exposure on the face of our subjects.

The Z8 is sold as a miniature Z9. Well, my Z8 with the latest firmware update does have none of the features you describe in this video. I agree with you that Nikon has added some powerful tools to the Z9, or revived some old feature like the shutter delay (known from the D850 and other Nikons). Hope it will trickle down to the Z8 too. I can really see myself using the Capture feature.

The Nikon N90 with MF-26 data back had 'trap' capability. It was great for some genre but I'm surprise so many are getting excited. Having it set in MF and Distance will be great for some types of images and those doing sports. But birds, how long will that last, Game cameras do a great job.

That is very cool and powerful stuff indeed. Thank you for making this video.

Tried it out yesterday. Definitely 3d tracking finds and holds targets faster.
With the manual focus I didn’t get the distance guide with a Zeiss milvus lens on.
Does this only work with z mount lenses?

Still missing: ZEBRAS IN STILLS. You would think that would be a simple add since it is already in video. Sony A1 uses this is a game changer for them. It's unclear to me why something that would be so helpful and seemingly easy to add is neglected. Perhaps Nikon will change the shutter sounds so that a bear growl will be Type B, Cat meow for Type C, and Dog barking for Type D, and Elephant call Type E. Might also mention that "Auto-Capture" is only fully operational with Z glass. Some advanced features will not be available with f-mount.

Still the 3d tracking is not upto mark....
