@@ronnyolsson2802 Thanks! 😍

@@gafurphotography6504 Hei og takk! 😍 De siste filmene er laget med en Dji Action 4 som jeg syns er superbra. De eldre er filmet med mobil (Samsung) og så hadde jeg et Sony ZV-E10 som jeg brukte en stund, men det ble altfor komplisert for meg å bruke til "action filming" 😎

@@frodeaardal tusen takk for svar, setter stor pris på det, jeg har nylig kjøpt en gopro hero 12 skal jeg bruke til det

Thank you so much for subscribing! I'm so glad you liked it! 😍

Thank you, and thanks for watching! I actually shoot in 16:9 for both photo and video mode, but that's definitely something worth checking out. I'll give it a go-thanks for the tip! 😊

Hei Robert. Takk det samme! Færøyene var helt enestående og jeg håper videoen min derfra viser det! :-)

Thank you so much for your kind words, Graham! You're absolutely right-being able to handle everything the camera can do and utilizing its features appropriately is key. I appreciate your comment and your support. Good luck with your continued work with the Z8!

Thanks for watching and commenting! I'm not 100% sure you're right on this, though. I believe the Picture Control mode should only be applied to pictures and videos not taken in any RAW format. There is a color balance tool for both the viewfinder and screen, but I've chosen to trust Nikon's decisions and have left it at the factory setting. My complaints about the viewfinder are regarding color accuracy, which I feel is not very good-although that's a subjective opinion.

Hi, and thanks for commenting! I think I'll leave that debate alone, but I will say that Nikon is a much smaller company compared to Sony and Canon. Still, they manage to do some things better than both, so I can live with some issues. I'm sure they'll solve the AF issues soon. Thanks for watching!

@@keithmanning702 thank you so much for watcing and your kind words! 😊🙏

Yepp 😉😎

Thank you, Peter. 😊 I missed the translation once again. 🦆😢 Unfortunately, this happens a bit too often. You might have noticed it as I talk in the video, too. Maybe I should consider switching back to doing it all in Norwegian?

@@colpage4030 Thank you 👍😊 I'm using the 60-600 from Sigma. A lens that I'm really happy with! 👍 Thanks for watcing 🙏

Thanks for watching and thank you for sharing your thoughts! I respectfully disagree with the idea that using a third-party lens inherently holds the camera back. In my experience, the autofocus performance of a camera is more dependent on the camera’s capabilities than on the lens brand. While some native lenses may have optimizations that enhance performance (with regards to stabilization in particular), many third-party lenses are highly capable and can perform just as well in challenging scenarios like tracking birds in flight. It ultimately comes down to the specific lens model and not the brand.

@frodeaardal Its the speed and torque of the focus motors where the issue is. I had the Sony version and when I got the Sony 200-600 things changed dramatically. But I'm only referring to tracking under challenging conditions. So I didn't mean "inherantly".

Couldn't agree more. I've been out all day, and I'm so impressed and happy with what I can capture now that I used to miss! It's a bit bitter to think about all the shots and situations I could have captured, but I think it's been an important experience to come from DSLR before switching to mirrorless, to fully appreciate the capabilities! I'm still learning to get to know the camera, and I still struggle with the autofocus-especially bird detection at times-but overall, my success rate must have doubled, if not tripled. Still, I would have loved to have gotten all those shots I've missed over the years. P.S. There's a new video on its way covering my recent changes in my setup and lessons learned!

Cool. I`m sure you gonna have a great time, and get some great shots! 👍👍 Thanks for watching and commenting 😍

Hi Paul, thanks for the tips. I'm a bit uncertain whether changing the D21 setting actually improves this. "High FPS" would normally mean a higher frame rate, but many refer to this as 120Hz, which is the screen’s refresh rate, right? I’ve had the D21 setting, "High FPS Viewfinder Display," set to "On" throughout this video, so my experiences are based on that setting.

High FPS (frames per second) and refresh rate (measured in Hz) are different concepts. FPS refers to how many times an image is captured or rendered each second, while the refresh rate indicates how often the display panel refreshes and updates the image it receives.

@frodeaardal hi..I have high fps set to on....and I think refresh rate set to 60hz..been a long time since I did it and can't find it now....but I'm not having problems....give it a go

I don’t think you’ll regret getting the Z8! Compared to the Z6 III, which is probably the closest alternative from Nikon, the Z8 offers better autofocus, bird detection, much higher resolution, higher frame rates, a more flexible back screen, and significantly better video formats and performance. It’s definitely a step up in all those areas!

You make some solid points about the OVF pentaprism. There’s definitely something to be said for the durability and the experience of using an optical viewfinder, especially when it comes to fast-paced action like bird photography. I’d be curious to see how the Z8 with the Nikon 180-600mm stacks up too. The autofocus might be quicker, and the sharpness could be a nice bonus. My lens is the Sigma 60-600. It’s cool that you’re nailing those panning shots with the D7200-just goes to show it’s not all about the newest gear! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Maybe one day you'll get a chance to test out the Z8 and see what you think!

Thank you so much for your kind words, and thanks for subscribing!

I would need to find out how to do that, but for now, I’m still exploring and learning what the camera can do, so I’m not sure there’s much value in that-at least for now. Thanks for your question, and thanks for watching!

I've literally come from a D500 to the Z8. I very small learning curve but i use crop mode on the Z8 quite a bit. The AF is much better, especially using the back screen for low level shooting. I use single point (programmed to a fn button) to grab focus in busy scenarios sometimes.

That's a really good question! The difference in format does affect the 'reach' of my lenses, and also - the Z8's higher resolution also plays a significant role. I think I'll make another video to cover this topic in more detail. Thank you so much for your question og takk for at du så på ;-)

@@frodeaardal Hei. Flotte videoer du lager. Og en video ang. overgangen fra DX til FX er i alle fall interessant, sett fra mitt ståsted...(eller fra en som sitter på gjerdet....)

Tusen takk. Sitter og skriver opp ideer "as we speak" 😉 Tror det blir en video basert på alle kommentarene og innspillene her.

Hahaha! 😂 I haven`t had a go on the Dragonflies yet, and with your observation of them defying both space and time - I`m doubt that I`m even worthy trying! 😄 I`m sure ill warm up to the EVF, and I`ve been using my binos a lot more. They`re far better than the D500 anyways! 😊👍 Thank you for your fantastic comments, and thank you so much for watching. Hope you have a great evening (or day/night) Frode

Takk for tipset Kjell Gunnar 👌😊

Thank Ryan! And thanks for the tip, that should sort out my brightness issues. I have set it to 120 hz already, and I don't think there was much difference, I think the problem is slow framerate in the system, and then higher refresh rate don't help much. But thank to you so much for watching and you feedback! 👍😍

Thank you 👍😊 And thanks for watching 🐦💚

My pleasure! Thanks for watching! 💚🐦

Thank you so much, and I'm so glad you liked it! 😍 I really love the swifts - been wanting to photograph them for so long - so this is really a dream come true for me. It was impossible for me as well before the Z8 - believe me i've tried! 😅 Hope you get yourself a camera that can do it sometime!👍💚🦆

Thank you! 😍 Make sure to catch my new video, that I release just about now!🙈 Thanks for watching. 💚🦅

Thank you and glad you liked it. You're indeed correct! Typical copy paste problem and no one to proof. 🙈 Thanks for watching! 🐦💚

@@d1m18 This project is the single reason for the re-establishmemt of this owl in this part of Norway. A formidable job through many years. All volunteers. The "science" part is tagging the owls and measuring the vitals to keep track of how the owls are doing.

@@Avibrickulele2 thank you so much! 💚🐦 The common snipe was such an experince! We don't have them were I live so I was so happy to see them 💚

I did not consider that. Thanks for watcing 👍💚🐦

Say more.

@@andrewmcfarlane8271 Thank you Andrew! 💚🐦 And thanks for following me 😊

Thank you so much, I had a fantastic time making it! 💚🐦 This is shot with my old D500, I only got to swap it when I came back. Maybe another trip with the Z8.. 🤔 😅

@@gryphongryph it's probably a very good idea to regulate tourism, especially for a fragile place like the Faroes! I'm using my former nikon D500 which I have recently replaced with the Z8 and I still use my favorite lens the Sigma 60-600 ❤️ Thanks for watcing and thanks for your insightful comments 👍😊

Thank you and thanks for watching 🐦💚

Thank you, and I'm glad you found it useful! 😍 I think I'm pretty lucky with where I live yes 💚🦅

Thank you 😍 I will! 🤘😀

Thank you Joseph 😍 I think you have a great camera, but this one is ridiculous! 😅 I'm so excited, going out tomorrow morning for my first shoot with it. I'll make sure to vlog about it. 👍

Absolutely some advantages there, I agree! 👍🦅💚

Thank you, and I'm glad you found it helpful. My plan is to make videos of my process getting to know and (hopefully) master the camera! 🦅💚👍

Thank you Graham. I had a small test run in the garden yesterday despite the weather being horrendous, and I think I might have gotten used to the EVF in those few minutes! 😄🙈 I have to say, there is a setting that doubles the frame rate from 60 to 120 fps at a small penalty on battery consumption. It makes such a difference! So it still feels a bit like looking at a tv very late at night in a dark room, but I think this should be fine. And after taking a few pictures with bird tracking... WOW! 😍 It's a completely new world compared to my old trusty D500!

Thanks for the tip Frode Can't wait to get mine now Happy shooting 😊

You will be fine coming from an OVF to the EVF on the Z8/9. I am switching between my D500/D850 and Z9/Zf bodies frequently, and whilst it is a pretty different experience, both OVF and EVF fantastic in their own unique way. Set the Z8 EVF to high refresh and you’re golden.

@@bsc001 Thank you for the information Looking forward to getting Z8 Thursday

@@GrahamtheWood1 Cheers Graham, enjoy that new beast. A wonderful camera.

Thank you Andrew, and thanks for your continuous support! 💚🦅

Thank you. And thanks for pointing out that you revert so to speak to the settings for that mode, it`s a very important point that I could have mentioned. Thanks for watching! 💚🦅

Greetings back to you! 👍😉 Very nice area, I'm very happy to have "discovered"! 💚🐦

Thank you. I'm very glad you liked it. It was a great day out! 😀
