ok, so my first real squabble about the z6, not a deal breaker, since its a thing with all PDAF Mirrorless camera, but definitely needs to be addressed. Can we please make a dedicated flash unit for Mirrorless cameras that have a dedicated AF assist light!? Please? Someone? Godox? Flashpoint? yunguo?
I was shooting an event in relatively lower light, iso 1250-3200, f5.6, 1/40 shooting with flash shooting with the 24-1204 f4 (i believe this is the real reason for struggle, f4 isnt the best light collector) and i tend to under expose 1/3-2/3 the ambient light on purpose when using flash, just to get a nice flick of fill from the bounce card of the flash, and ill say that the 24-120 f4 struggled a little bit without the AF beam with d8 live view preview on, i believe the camera was closing down the aperture to give me a preview and thus closing it down to 5.6 in a dark situation which made the camera struggle a bit on locking focus from time to time. So i turned d8 off, and it did better, but still could have used a good AF assist beam to help it in certain situations.
