Based on experiences with the D5 D6 etc, pros will rate Customization of the Z9 as critical to setup controls enabling quasi-automated switching between settings; these switches at fingertips are vital for action genres, switching AF modes especially.

Chambeshi,
I specifically set up my a1 to have the agility to respond to such circumstances. I didn't imagine I would use this so soon. But, last week it proved invaluable on my first trip with the camera.
I was shooting a landscape in fully manual mode just after sunset. The worst possible setup for capturing moving wildlife in low light. A White Tail Fox trotted out of the bush moving at a good pace. The customization features in the camera allowed me to completely reconfigure the camera in a fraction of a second and get some great images of this Fox.
I won't post an image or the full story here in the Nikon forum out of respect for keeping things on topic. But here is a link to the story in another thread you may find interesting.
