Re: Z7 Review: From A First Time Mirrorless User (Image Heavy)
I have seen the setting but never used it. What I don't understand is how does it know when your done with that button. So you press FN and then turn the dial to change the AF setting. How does it know your done setting the AF point and the dial goes back to controlling the Aperture? Do you have to hit the function button a second time to turn it off?

Just one question. I am not sure of what you mean when you say you have to press the Function buttons and turn the front dial, do you mean at the same time? I have say F1 button set up for changing the focus point but I press it then take my finger off and then turn the front dial and it alters the focus point. I don't need to have my finger on the F1 button whilst I turn the front dial. If it is not working that way for you, maybe you need to set up "f16" "Release button to use dial" to "on"?
Also, Hot pixels. Isn't that fixed when you do two sensor cleaning cycles back-to-back? That triggers a function that remaps any dead pixels and has been this way on all modern Nikon bodies.
The buttons I am talking about are the 2 function buttons in the front next to the mount. I have one setup as interval timer which I just press and there is no need to turn dials at the same time. I use interval timer as a exposure delay. Old habit
The other function button I have setup for AF control. Changing af modes, point mode. I have to hold it down while turning the dials. If I want to go from single point to wide I have to keep it held in while turning the dial.
I do not have F16 on "Release button to use dial". This doesn't lead to other issues? What if I press the AF function button, let go and change with the front dial and then want to change aperture? How does it know I am done selecting the AF setting I wanted?
Dead pixels and hot pixels are different. Dead/Stuck pixels can be fixed with the process you described. Hot pixels change and will come on even after doing the remap. I am not real technical about this but I think the hotpixels come from the sensor getting hot which is why they normally happen from really long exposures. I have tried in the past with the D810 to do the remap and the next long exposure shot would have hotpixels.
Sorry, that should be "f6" Where it states ""Release button to use dials" and turn it to "on". This allows you to press the Fn button and release it and then you can turn the front dial without keeping your finger on the Fn button. It works on mine perfectly.
