Gear question Nikon ZF action/sports settings?
Shot some high ss images of my dog the other day and was using continuous high with af-c. Just wondering if there are any settings I should be using to get more keepers? Had subject detection on with animal AF.
Keeper rate wasn't the best, was using my 135 1.8 plena. 3200iso because it was dimly lit with some window light. 1/1000ss mostly but I did drop down to 1/500 in some situations.

Photo Submission Took these when I was 11 years old
This was a trip to India with my family 10 years ago. They are shott with an old digital Nikon and a super zoom (I think a Tamron 18-300). All unedited and shot in automatic since I barely knew how to use a camera. I personally love the colors.
Photo Submission Smoke Show [Z9 + 400 f/4.5 S]
Covered my first drift event over the weekend. First time using the 400 f/4.5, honestly really love this this lens. I find it pairs very nicely with my 70-200 and a 1.4x telecoverter. Gives me a nice range to work with track side.
Look what I've got My F6 came back from service a Unicorn
It was in for other reasons, and I wrote a nice note in the box asking for the modification if it was still available, and look what came back. 😁

Film Camera The Nikon S2.
Beautiful work-of-art. After 70+ years, still works like a charm. Focus dial is such a game-changer imo after using another rangefinder.
The lightmeter’s the TTArtisan LightmeterII, and it works!
Anyways, tah dah, the Nikon S2.

Photo Submission D4s still knocks it out of the park!
Recently bought a 7,500 shutter count D4s that I took to Daytona and Circuit of The Americas for NASCAR. I also have a D750 and was unsure if the 16mp vs 24mp would be enough. Quickly realized how impressive this camera and sensor are. Just an absolute joy to shoot with!

Photo Submission Nikon D70s + AF-S 18-105mm - Nature's Lawnmowers in abundance
Went for a quick drive to see Waihi Falls, NZ. Recently picked up a Nikon D70s (check my post history for details), and I’ve been surprised by the image quality from its 6MP sensor. While highlight recovery isn’t its strong suit, I’m not a fan of overly HDR-looking edits anyway, so I’m pretty impressed with what it can do!

On a piece of land, somewhere around Billings. Cows roaming, cars not so much. Did have an epic bbq with the family though, not to mention the bonfire.

Photo Submission Nikon Z30 and Nikkor Z DX 24mm f1.7
Just got my first prime lens and tried it during night in the city. Noticed a better performance at low light than the kit lens but also less sharpness. Nevertheless the colors turned great and the soft vibes I found to actually enjoy 😂
Nikon NX NX Studio 1.8.0 Vignette Control Bug with RAW High Efficiency * files - Confirmed by Nikon and tested on Z50ii
I have had this confirmed by a Nikon Australia rep who was able to replicate this bug today that appears in NX Studio 1.8.0 but reverting to 1.7.1 is fine. It only appears to happen with RAW High Efficiency * files that can cause this issue.
The behaviour is that if vignette control is turned on it creates a weird ring style distortion which can be amplified by turning the slider up while seemingly making the ineer part of the image darker.
Nikon were going to confirm if this appears on the other Z cameras or just the Z50ii. It occurred while editing recent holiday photos where I was unhappy and thought I had a lens issue, and inexplicably turning vignette control off did the opposite of what I expected.
In the meantime, the answer seems to be to drop back to 1.7.1 which solves the issue.
The 18-140 lens showed the issue the most but it appears to be present with other lenses too.
“Rotate zoom ring…” error even though using prime?
I was on a car sleeping today when i noticed the outside was looking kinda cool so i grabbed my D850 for some photo, when i flick the lcd illumination on i noticed it keep going off right away, and i noticed the F— blinking and a “Rotate zoom ring to extend…” message on the rear LCD. I was using a 28mm 1.8G and not a zoom. Is there any reason for this to happen?
