Re: Z9 ! : Official thread for Z9 images and discussion
Well NPS delivered my Z9 on Wednesday, and I was able to get it from my local shop that evening. The camera sat idle through Friday. I spent the better part of the day digging into menus, reading Steve Perry's AF book, and reading Brad Hill's blog about the camera.
While I have set up 4 banks and reprogrammed a bunch of buttons, I have little doubt that my current configuration will be tweaked. I'd love to hear what people are setting their Fn1-3 buttons, just to see how my set compares.
Today, I gave the camera a spin, and now I understand why many are so excited. The AF tracking is unlike anything I've experienced with a Nikon body... it is shaking to see how quickly the camera locks on, and how well it hold focus.
This evening I encountered an albino doe in the woods. It was about 7:40 PM and the sun was setting quickly. I used 3D AF with animal detect selected. In the end, I probably would have been better off with single point AF.
I am curious about what AF mode others would have chosen here... note, there is brush throughout, and while not visible here, one can see a twig cutting across the doe's left eye at 100% resolution.
thanks and regards,
bruce
