Okay, thanks. Ive been told in the past to post 1200x1600 format out of LR. I'm a bit of a posting dummy so could you clarify a bit more? Thanks


Yeah, some people complain, but we live in a 5k world now. They can suck it up

On Flickr, if you hit the "download" button (down arrow under your pic and to the right), and click on "view all sizes", you'll see a laundry list of sizes. Click the 5K option, right click the pic when it loads, and select "copy image link". That will link to the 5K version of the pic from your Flickr.

I'm sure you know how to use the IMG tags on FM, but you can use the word FRAME instead. That will prevent the pic from exceeding the native width of any one person's monitor, quite nice feature.

Obviously you don't have to link to any particular size, and are certainly free to link to whatever size you like, but 1200x1600 just doesn't do a pic justice on 4K/5K displays. 5K has just become my personal preference to show off the details of the 45-61mp sensors we have these days.

I just got my Z9 Thursday night and trying to figure out if there is a Zebra function to the EVF for indicating blown highlights when shooting stills? I have searched the thread, the forums and google and only thing I can find so far is the option for Zebras in the video menu.

Obviously there is an option to add the histogram but that wasn't what I am looking for to keep the EVF less cluttered.

Nikon doesn't support blinkies/zebra in EVF on any Z cam at this point for stills mode. You can turn them on for playback, but that's rather useless IMO. I know a common workaround is jumping into movie mode to check exposure and back to stills to shoot the shot, but that's really only workable for very slow paced photography.

Damn, thanks. Guess it's histogram till maybe they are it in a FW, probably not any time soon if none of the previous Z's have it yet
