The Nikon forums have a certain reputation to uphold...
There you go Nikon guys, you have mistakenly maligned, accused, and labled, a sincere new member of FM who was just looking to discuss his experiences in order to make a decision. No one is out to get Nikon, there is no "conspiracy of frighten Sony people", no Russian collusion, and the laptop is real.
Seriously guys, get over the PTSD. The days when Nikon trailed badly in mirrorless technology are behind us. Nikon is fully competitive in this regard these days. Like all camera brands Nikon has it's own personality, performance quirks, and design esthetics. Discussing these this is a good thing, and should not be viewed as an attack on you or your brand.
Amazingly even after all of this I am confident that some (bet we could name them in advance) will continue to question woof2025'ss sincerity, or somehow try to assign him blame. It runs deep here sometimes.
Thanks, yes it hasn't been the warmest welcome! I was quite amazed when I did my initial post and came back to the comments! It was like, I posted that 20 hours ago, I wonder what helpful advice people have for me! Seems while I was away I got put on some kind of a Nikon Terrorist list!
Apologies for the comments, glad to see you are a real person.
My advise:
- Use your lenses as open as possible, f1.2 provides the best AF performance
- Use custom AF area with subject recognition limited to people (other types of subjects not selected)
- Use AF-C in Focus + Release mode (setting a1)
- Set setting a3 to the lower possible value (highest possible reactivity) of 1 and use erratic
- Set your EVF mode to natural (not setting reflected)
- Deactivate IBIS if you don't really need it
- When possible, shoot in short bursts instead of single shot. It provides a lot more data for the camera to get one absolutely perfect. All Sony bodies I tried also performed better this way as well.
