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.
