I think you have a very good point. I happen to like that Nikon only records what I ask for because I often crop in camera to get smaller files. It seems like an easy toggle setting to put in the menus "Record Full Frame RAW When Viewing Other Cropped Aspect Ratios \" yes/no Sometimes the little things mean a lot! My pet peeve is no RAW files in pre-capture mode. It seems like they could offer this at a reduced frame rate with simple firmware updates. Oh well, the perfect camera isn't here yet! I think you do a great job with your videos!
Hi Matti, you explained it perfect in your last video and it was easily understood. You don't need to explain yourself Matti, we regular viewers know exactly what you say and what you mean in your videos. You deserve to express your views on your channel without being called stupid. You should be respected Matti, and I'm speaking from the Heart as i am old School. Thanks Matti 😊
Thanks. The problem is not my regular viewers but the new viewers, who are welcome of course, but don't know by background. Fanboys also sometimes tend to go a bit extreme in the comments😀
@@ivarschiager8529 I am sorry but if you want to reduce the file size it should not affect the composition . This is simply unrelevant. Currently Sony cameras offer different sizes for Raw files by changing the resolution without changing the aspect ratio.
Your point is absolutely valid. RAW means RAW! Edit: For some reason, a lot of photographers (on Web forums, at least) are bitter, spiteful losers. I don't understand why. I love passion, and I love disagreement, but the bitterness is just weird. You rarely see this in cinematography.
Idk. I don't exactly know how it all works on my Sony, but for sure if you shoot in APSC crop, the raw is APSC size, not full frame. I do all my cropping in post, so I haven't played with anything but standard vs APSC crop.
They should really have an option in the camera that lets you save the full sensor data or just the crop. It would also be nice to have other aspect ratios like on the X-T5 plus being able to assign changing those ratios to a custom button.
Well stated, Matti. I find it a nuisance as I sometimes change my mind with aspect ratios. If I shoot a 1:1, then in Post, realise I should have shot it in another aspect, say 4:3, then I can change it back to the native aspect ratio. I found, with my Nikon, that was not the case, I had to crop. There are many cameras on the market, not just one brand, so cannot understand why some people get upset over one brand. We have a choice, so buy what suits your style of photography. Otherwise Nikon is a great camera!
Matti you should not have to explain yourself! This is an obvious flaw in Nikon system bub other brands aren't much better. Aspect ratios are in general very overlooked feature in all systems. How many cameras offers popular Xpan-like ultra wide or 4:5 which is so useful for Instagram? We should be asking those niche questions. Thank you for you previous video and please continue with more outside the box ideas.
I wish someone would make a circular sensor to capture the entire projected image allowing the best crop to be determined in post. No turning the camera sideways either...
My old Olympus EM-5 was the same, in Lightroom you could not go back to the full sensor area, but all the data was there and with some exiftool magic it could be uncropped before importing in Lightroom. Im glad that newer Olympus camers don't have this anymore and it works as you also like it.
That's a Lightroom issue, not an Olympus E-M5 issue. Other software, including Olympus' own free software, would allow you to see the full un-cropped image.
When I discovered this misfeature, I rejoiced at never having bought a Nikon camera. I don't like the limitations cameras place on my ability to make the photos I want to make.
Well it’s nice so many have come to your defence, but I can clearly see both “sides”! One comment said raw means raw...well in Nikon firmware Crop means Crop. If you had titled this video “User selected aspect ratios in Nikon cameras” I would not have had a problem. Obviously I can see the benefits of a virtual crop.
Totally get your issue. I’m a sony shooter but recently got the ZF, but perhaps your preference might work better on your a6700. On the new sony a7cii/cr, they have an aspect ratio marker to shoot your preferred aspect ratio while still preserving the full3:2 in raw, and im wondering whether your 6700 might have this feature too? Lets hope nikon provides this kind of flexibility in the future.
Thanks for sharing. I have other cameras (Sony and Lumix) so that problem is not holding me back. I wish Nikon would rectify that with a FW in the future.
This totally makes sense, you'd get cropped JPG and full RAW file, which would be perfect if you shoot both. I didn't use crop, since Sony cameras I have are rather limited in this regard, they have 3:2, 16:9, some later add 1:1, but I'd like to shoot more 4:3 for example, from what I've seen Fuji has most options for crop I think, but it would be too much effort to change systems now for different crop factors in camera, plus I'm stupid, so I decide crop afterwards xD If I had more client work that would specifically require such aspect rations this would be completely different story. Cheers and don't let frustrated people drag you down.
its a bizarre design choice. i never knew this was an actual thing. sorry you had hostile comments about it. usually i'd expect RAW to have everything pre-processed. but i wonder if it adds to the challenge too? :D
Not sure what confusion can people have. I for one did not know this, and would consider now to not buy Nikon over it. Imagine if the 61mp sony did this, recomposing those types of shots are definitely useful, specially for action photography where sometimes the thing is at the edge of the frame, and you use crop mode to focus better because the magnifier blows things too close.
I used to have a Z5 and still have the manual pdf on my phone so checked to see if there was an option buried somewhere in a menu but couldn't find anything. I then Googled "Nikon raw aspect ratio" and your video from a few days ago was the first result! I've now established that there's no option to keep the full frame, but you probably already found that out.
It is such an odd decision of Nikon's. More information is always better, even if you never intend to use it. Hopefully they may fix it with a firmware update in the future.
I understand what you mean. Very annoying this implementation of Nikon. You want a view as it is your output but a full raw file. I use this with my s1r fot 4:5 ratio.
This has been my annoyance towards Nikon in stills and video, the whole point of capturing RAW is getting as much information as possible. My friend would take pictures in any format he wants and adjust the aspect ratio later on his Sony and I have to make the choice when I shoot? Why Nikon why? Us Nikon users are too passionate for the brand because of constantly getting crap till a year ago, but now that Nikon is doing well we should calm down. After all, it's a corporation and gear is mattering less and less these days.
Panasonic is working in the same manner. Take Lumix LX100 Ii, here you define the aspect ratio before taking an image, and you cannot change that afterwards. Why?
The original LX100 saves a cropped RAW too. I've never noticed this before, perhaps because (on all my cameras) I always shoot the maximum size and crop to a square after taking shots. Back 50+ years ago cameras didn't give an accurate picture in the viewfinder. SLR viewfinders tended to show, say, 95% of the image on the film and rangefinders had their own compromises. My solution back then was to shoot a little wider and crop when printing. I guess I still work the same way.
I have to admit that I somewhat find the Nikon way better, because I have always wanted camere with square sensor, and now nikon giving me the possibility only save what I see in the picture is nice. The file size is also smaller. If you are photographer that shoots only squares, you don't need to save any extra data in every picture.
I wish my cameras Fuji/Sony would have this baked in the RAW files. Perhaps a swich on/off would be useful too so it doesn't crop when you dont need it :)
Few things in life are sure, but one is that you are definitely not "just another recreational photographer" (8:35). You are a professional in all you produce. I am a recreational photographer with a very recent digital photographic history. My working years had no connection to photography, but even I knew exactly what you were talking about. My only shock was that any manufacturer would build such a restriction in cropping in RAW. I have known of Nikon since the 1970's but have never used one. Sadly I now have a reason not to be curious about Nikon. What a shame. Keep up the great work Matti and thanks for all.
I just wonder whether the issue with the embedded aspect ratio in the raw file has been solved with the release of Z6 III. None of the pre-production reviews talk about this 🤷🏼♂
You don't pay any attention to that unless non native ratios are important to you. Most pre production reviewers also shoot jpeg because there is no RAW support yet.
Brand loyalty is such a bizarre thing. Your concern about the aspect ratio is totally valid, it’s a very strange choice nikon made. Don’t let the trolls bother you matti.
Does the Nikon have frame borders you can set in the EVF? On my S5 I shoot in 3:2 but I have a 16:9 frame visible in my EVF so I can compose my photo in that aspect ratio and see what will be cut off from the top and bottom for when I crop it in post.
Nikon's aspect ratio is not a limitation, it allows you to achieve whatever aspect ratio you want, just don't ask the camera to do something it was clearly not designed to do and stop asking the camera to do everything for you. 🤬
Since is not only on the entry-level Nikons, but also on Z8 as far as I understand, I find it really a showstopper for my workflow. Just like you, there have been many times when I realized only in post that the crop was not ideal. If only they would make it at least configurable. Or just do like everyone else. 🤷♀
Your last video was as clear as any of your videos. As a mirrorless shooter for more than a decade , I appreciate the possibility to frame in the EVF according to the aspect ratio. Note that the possibilities in the Sony bodies have been extended recently. In the past we had only 3/2 and 16/9 with no possibilty to recover the full sensor size if you chose 16/9. Really annoying compared to micro 4/3 which was much more advanced. I suppose that the benchmark for Nikon was Sony at the time of the Z5 launch and what it offers is still better than the then competing Sony bodies. Micro 4/3 bodies are very advanced in their features. They should be benchmarked and not ignored….. I shoot micro 4/3 and Sony FF.
The reason is that originally Nikon saw smaller aspect ratios as a means of increasing frame rate and/or reducing file size. Saving the full raw file undermines both of those. There is a tendency for engineers to get ingrained into a practice even after the reason for it has gone.
With the greatest respect, Matti, The 3x2 (36x24) aspect ratio has been the full frame standard from the first Leica to use 35mm film. I'm sorry but this is not an issue for anyone else. 36x24 will be the size of a full frame sensor forever. If you want to have a different aspect ratio, it will be slightly cropped and this is the same for all full frame hybrid cameras. If you want to shoot native 16:9 for video, then do as most serious video shooters are doing now, and thats to use a proper video camera. Thats why Canon, Nikon and Panasonic have a dedicated video solution right up to cinema quality products. Its why Nikon bought Red. Canon already has their video platform anyway, so Nikon was catching up, thats all.
I have no idea what your comment has to with my video topic or the issue I'm talking about in the video. Maybe you should watch the video when you have time to actually concentrate and listen to what I say😀
You obviously don’t want a crop, just a grid showing what the crop will be in post. Hopefully Nikon can make this happen in a firmware update. I would also like to see open gate.
Often when you're dealing with clients, a grid is not enough - they'll ignore the lines and complain about what they can see beyond them. It can be incredibly helpful to only be showing them exactly what they asked for, nothing more, but still have it available for editing later.
@@StephenStrangways I would refrain from showing the clients an open gate with grids for various outputs. I suppose it would be great if they could show your crop on screen but not be permanently applied, so you could change in post.
