Next family event, tell them to hire a pro photographer to come and shoot, splitting the cost between the families present. Leave your camera gear home to enjoy the gathering. You won't have to edit photos and you can enjoy the day. I suspect next time they won't give you any grief.
Honestly, the largest issue I have is my wife. When she wants pictures of the girls (especially Penny, the baby) she gets super bossy and borderline nasty. When we go on trips, she "expects" me to document the trip, but at the same time gets mad if I am not by her side 100% of the time, or if I am behind the camera taking a picture. How am I supposed to take pics, if I can't do what I need to do to actually take the pic?! Then, when I get home, the only time it's allowable to edit is when the baby is sleeping. But at that same time, I'm expected to do the "honey-do's" around the house. It's very frustrating... Gets to the point where I hate taking pics.

Thanks for the tip Mihai, it works! This is copied over from Blogspot.
Ominous but nice, Leighton!
A few more slides copied with the Z6, The slide film is Velvia 50, most likely. The slide color and tonal curve are very different from the Z6, hard to process, color balance is from the film as I used Flash balance.
Pictures are of the statues at Queen Califia (California's queen) court, in a park in Escondido in the middle of nowhere, used to be my favorite lens test site given the detail in depth - but it is now open only a few hours a couple of work days during the week, so I can't go much anymore. Reason being our less than cultured population with their kids climbing all over the place, more recently someone broke in and there was some vandalism, relatively minor. Ah well....

85mm f1.8H adapted to an Oly m43. Had the adapter for a couple months (maybe more) first shots only a few days ago. Nothing too special, saying "Hi" instead of just lurking and "liking".
I might be doing something wrong but I'm not getting any focus peaking :-( which was one primary factor for trying out the lenses on mirrorless. All you Z people are not helping out much in the "desire" department :-)
I'm not familiar with the Oly m43 but on my XT1 you have to set the lever on the front to MF as well. Gets me every time.

The Z6 and 5cm/1.4 LTM with the black and white profile seem to handle strong backlighting pretty well. This is as was shot in the camera. Just brought in to Lightroom to add EXIF lens info in LensTagger.
My wife will shoot me for posting. She told me to put the camera down and start working
George
Looks good George. My question would be can you do the same as with the Fuji bodies and have this saved as the jpeg and also save a RAW file without the profile applied ? (something I love about my XT1)
I suppose you could save RAW+Jpeg and remove the profile on the RAW file in LR?

Yes. I shoot RAW + Jpeg. If you don't want the jpeg profile shot you can just process the RAW as you normally would. The custom profile does not impact the RAW. Just like the Fuji.

Timer function on the camera to get in the shot, camera on tripod. Can't help with the Honey-Do list. Maybe take a laptop to the library for "research"? That's something you'll have to work out with the "I" statements. "When you do X, I feel A, and it's B"

Will be going to LA today to party hardy tomorrow and go to the rose parade, Taking only AF lenses as this is a family affair and family is not compatible with MF! No computer either..
Sooooo...
