p.1 #1 · How to get red picture control onto z8?


Maybe I’m not doing it right

- I updated z8 firmware to latest
- I looked up the recipe on Nikon imaging
- it shows the settings for say cinema bias but it doesn’t show a download button

Does it mean I need to manually enter the settings? Feel like i must be doing something wrong

I noticed you shared six recipes for film look on ZF. How would you differentiate the use case with the RED recipes? I’m guessing cinematic recipes don’t necessarily mean film look?

The RED recipes are useless, I tested them below. My film recipes can be used in stills or video and don't lean as heavy into green or magenta shadows as the RED recipes do.

Real answer: download NP3 from here:

Put them onto your primary card and import them to the camera:
