Glad you liked it!

Thanks Nick! Glad you enjoyed this and were inspired!

hehe, if you don't mind the chipmunk voice! Cheers!

Prerlease is an option that you turn on or off in your Photo Shooting Menu (D3). When turned on, t's automatically enabled with C30 and above settings, but disabled when shooting RAW images.

The sun is always round. If it's above the horizon you will always see it round. To photograph it though, you can use an ND filter, or try closing down the aperture to the smallest you can on your lens. Sometimes that works too. But just remember the ND filters are not meant to be used to look at the sun directly. You'll need the solar filter for that.

@taku_kumabe yes, of course, but in terms of capturing the round profile; shooting wide open leaves a blob and stopping down star, which is cool but not for what Im going for.

Not this one. The FS line of lights are meant for indoor use. You can check out my take on the FC-120 light here: ruclips.net/video/0qHzuY3KSb4/видео.html which you can power with a single V-Mount battery. For a more powerful option the FC-500C can also be powered with 2 V-Mounts using the optional Power Controller Unit, sold separately for the more powerful FC line of lights.

@@taku_kumabe Thanks man, i actually ended up bying a portable battery box that can accept this light.. I bought it and it's amazing with that 90cm umbrella on it! mind blowing compared to what i had before. lol Thanks for all your effort on this video. It really solidified my purchase; foreal.

Thank you kindly!

De rien!

Glad you enjoyed it Tim! Cheers!

You're very welcome Mark!

Glad you enjoyed it, you're welcome!

You're welcome!

Not bad at all actually. It was very calm on the way down and slightly choppier on the way back but nothing that ship couldn't handle.

that's Focus Peaking. It should be A13 on the Nikon Z 9.

I think its an adapter ring for your Bayonet Mount accessories

That is an adaptor for the FM-mount to Bowens mount. The 120B uses a slightly smaller mount than a Bowens mount, so they supply an adaptor for the light in case you want to use any Bowens mount modifiers.

@@victorfang1981 It's an FM-Mount to Bowens mount adaptor.

The 400 is great but it might not pick up the sound of the bird is far away or the sound is quiet. The 600 does a better job at picking up sound in front of it but like you said, the end does stick out. You can use the Live View in that case though apart from building a rig.

@@taku_kumabe thanks for your comment. I bought 400 because I was happy even with cameras builtin mic except taking too much handling noise. I want to try my chance with 400 as being my first mic.

@@taku_kumabe MKE600 is also not a good choice for bird sounds. It can extend further than MKE400 but not far enough. It's like saying 135mm focal length is better than 70mm for birding shots, but frankly it's still not long enough. You'll need to get a parabolic dish with the mic mounted in the center.

That’s Focus Peaking. It’s an option in your Custom Settings. 👍

@@taku_kumabe ty

Thanks for watching. Duly noted! 👍

Thanks for your question! I think at 600mm you’re already getting enough magnification so the crop sensor wouldn’t add much more benefit. Besides if you really wanted to you could crop the image from the Z F and get more “magnification” at the expense of pixel loss.

Thanks for your comment! I’m sure you’ll enjoy shooting with it!

Thanks so much for that!

I appreciate the kind words!

Why are JPGs useless? If your images are properly exposed then you shouldn't have to do much/any post-processing anyway. And if my memory serves me correct, you can't select 20fps to shoot RAW while in this mode.

Yes. I agree with you. But, Canon R5 mark II being slower than the Nikon Z8, still offers pre-capture in RAW. When you're shooting wildlife with constantly changing lights and shadows, it is nice to have RAW all the time as you never know when you will get a good shot and at the same time your exposure may not be super correct. Not a Canon fan. I own a Sony A1 and I really wish Nikon would put this feature in, many Canon guys will switch. I am also thinking about getting a Z8 if they will offer pre-capture RAW

You're very welcome!

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the videos. Despite not going to one of the port of calls, it was still a great cruise!

Thanks for watching. Chicago and Kamakura are two very different views! I'm sure you will enjoy your new surroundings. I don't mind the size of the 1.8 S as it's still quite light. Keep in mind Nikon is still set to come out with the 1.2 version as well.

It wasn't intended to be. It was a genuine question-which you seemed to have answered in your comment-since I had the feeling it wasn't getting a lot of attention for the quality of lens that it was.

Most welcome 😊

You're welcome!

The resulting multiple exposure image is JPG. As far as I know this feature is available in all Nikon Z cameras, including the latest ones like the Z 6iii, and Z f.

I don’t see why not. You may need to adjust your ISO and/aperture to compensate for your shutter speed that you’re limited to using though.

Awesome! Same here! 👌

Hello! If you know what the minimum focus distance is for your extension tube setup, then the auto focus should be no problem. Just keep moving back with the focus point set to the closest part of the subject to the lens. That should be the closest you can go with your setup.

Thank you! Much appreciated.

I hope you get to go one day! It wasn’t high up on my list but now that I’ve gone, I definitely want to go back and explore further!

Well, that’s because this is all about night photography! 😉

Yes it's true. It can happen if you aren't careful. Just don't have the sun prominently in your frame for an extended period of time when you don't have a solar filter on. If you have a solar filter on your lens then you should be OK to expose for a longer period of time. If you're just taking a single photo of the sun then take the photo and change the direction of the camera so it's no longer facing the sun.

@@taku_kumabe oh ok thank you
