For those like me who are new to Capture One, here are the instructions to get it working that I nabbed from another site:
Close Capture One Pro (if open)
Open Explorer
Go to /*user*/AppData/Local/CaptureOne/Workspaces
Copy workspace file (.xml) to this folder
Start Capture One Pro
Select the new workspace from Window -> Workspace…
my yesterday included a hike with my gf, and then the Stanley Cup Final Rematch between the Washington Capitals and the Vegas Golden Knights. These are my photos of the day
so i was photographing 30 seconds to Mars tonight and i think i may have found the z6 low light AF limitations. but to be clear, my d5 struggled as well on this particular shot. the z6 focus on something, just not the subject i wanted. this image was pushed about 1/2 stop as well. basically could barely see him. this is a throwaway, but figured id show you the limits of what the AF could see.
Now this is REALLY dark. Thanks for posting-my usual shooting situations have a lot more available light than this, so I'm positive the Z6 will work just fine for me.
yeah i could barely see him, to be honest. but i gotta say that the IBIS really works. 70mm at 1/3s is nothing to sneeze at. this was a NON VR 24-70 btw. so only 3 axis stabilization. but im pretty steady handed

Yes IBIS works great if you don't use mechanical shutter (electronic shutter or EFCS), if you do, it's worse than IBIS off, in my experience.
I was very excited about this camera, and Nikon Z-system in general, but I bumped into this problem
I tried to get some input from Nikon rep, through my dealer, but it went very slow.
That made me to make a decision to return Z6/24-70/FTZ combo, to wait how things will develop in future.
In mean time, I'll live with X-T3.

Strange I don't use electronic shutter at all. I just use mechanical, often have to go above 1/2000. IBIS worked well here albeit not in focus.

Try mechanical and IBIS on, at 1/60, 1/100, or 1/125, then change IBIS to off, and shoot at same shutter speeds.
You may get surprised when you get sharper images with IBIS off.
We tried it with two Z6's, and one Z7, so it wasn't just my camera.
Flat Picture in camera preset will show the most pronounced difference.

Have you tried anymore shutter speeds because that's strange it would only effect those three.
Yes, and if I go as low as 1/25 or 1/30, I can see similar results with IBIS On/Off, which tells me that IBIS is not helping, but those I listed up show worse results with IBIS On,
so I focused on those more, to point to the problem, we found when we tested it.
If you go faster, like 1/200 or higher, you see almost no difference, but at this speeds you're able to get decent sharpness without IBIS.
All tests were done hand held, and we tried to be as stable as possible, so if you use tripod you turn IBIS Off, anyway.
Is anyone having trouble with right hand shooting position? I couldn't get comfortable with my rental. The body is just too small for me. It needs to be both wider and taller. If I hold it with my palm against the end of the body, the shutter and AF buttons are two close, and my pinkie is wrapped over the battery door. The thumb groove doesn't point toward AF/ON as it does in my other bodies. During operation my palm is forced away from the body so my finger and thumb can reliably push the buttons. That shifts most of the weight to my pinkie and causes me to cock my wrist a little, which is apparently the cause of the soreness.
This is all a bummer because I really like the Z6. There are some things about it that bug me, but nothing too serious or that can't be worked around. The ergonomics are another story, however. For now they're a deal killer. If the Z6 was in a D750-sized body I'd be all over it.
