Ken, it's nice to hear the voice of the guy who I have read for years. I can always count on you to get to the point. Most of my work is slow and methodical on a tripod: Studio & Architecture. I've ignored most of the advanced settings for years but now I'm committed to learning all the features available on the Z6 III and Z8. My old brain is exploding but your guides are helping.
Hi Ken, this was a very useful video, as is all your videos. I like how you can change the Red Focus points into Green. And the Focus and release mode where it's best to have it on Focus Priority, when you're tracking something. Great work Ken, Thankyou 😊
There are so many st…d and ignorant RUclipsrs out there who don’t really understand what they say and do themselves. But you are the opposite Ken so please continue what you do 👍
great video! very informative, i wanted to ask what do you do with all the cameras you buy after you used them for the review? what camera do you personally use?
Great video and your knowledge is much appreciated. I’m thinking of switching from my existing D810 to the Z6iii. Do you think that’s a good choice or should I go for a higher model? I’m also thinking of using the ftz ii so I can use my existing glass as well. Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Have a great day.
For Mirrorless I prefer Canon. I’d not buy into the Z system; if you do, in a few years most of us will wind up having rebought everything for the Z system and not using many of our old lenses, at which point we realize we could have swapped systems. The FTZ is the weak point: it doesn’t autofocus with traditional AF lenses or work well with manual focus lenses - while every EF (1987-today) adapts great to Canon. See all my Canon reviews at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/index.htm and long story short, get an R6 II for full frame, or honestly APS-C is just as good today so look at the R10. Thanks!!!
Hi Ken, should I buy a zoom lens with an f/2.8 or f/4 aperture for events/weddings, and back it up with one or two f/1.8 prime lenses, or should I just stick with the f/2.8 zoom alone? I got a job and there’s a lot of recommendations on the internet, but I really only trust you, you are the big deal! I’m asking because I have almost no experience in the field, thank you a lot for all your great work!
Always a tough call. Usually, a prime 35mm ish and then a normal zoom is the things you use most of the time, unless you're into niches like astro or wildlife
Hi Ken, very useful tips in this video like all your videos. I do like that you can turn the Red Focus points into Green. Also the Focus and Release mode, where you leave it on Focus priority when tracking something. Thanks for mentioning to find the settings that you like, And don't make it complicated. To many settings that we don't use can get very frustrating, it was great advice. Thanks Ken 😊
I prefer the. Z 24-200mm www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/z/24-200mm.htm so I never need to swap lenses; I just twist and shoot. f/2.8 is unnecessary for digital; they were popular with film because film only went to about ISO 200 before it started looking bad. Otherwise if you do need a little more speed (I don't), the f4 lenses are just fine. Remember that you can use foolishly fast ISOs if you need them, but you won't. Id use the 24-200, fast enough for me in loess there's some shot where you really need a soft background. for that you could grab one fixed 1.8 lens - llike an 85mm. Remember that defocus depends more on longer focal length than it does on aperture number, Thanks!
@@maeu59 I'd have to know you better, the question is what do the newer cameras do for you, how much would you use them and how valuable is money to you? See www.kenrockwell.com/tech/upgrades.htm and www.kenrockwell.com/tech/is-it-worth-it.htm
It will charge while asleep or off and run from the battery. This means if the battery is dead it won’t charge while shooting; it will charge when you’re done. See my written guide for more www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/z/z6-iii-users-guide.htm#charge thanks!
Too much fiddling with the menus. I have the D780 and its menu works for me. Pick my Picture Control and switch it to P Mode. 98% of my photos are technically perfect. I just concentrate on my composition. A little post processing and I’m done.

Notes are all up at my written guide at www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/z/z6-iii-users-guide.htm thanks!
Ken Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge

Usually return them. I prefer the Canon R6 II www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r6-ii.htm

Can i adjust saturation and contrast in this camera???...
I have a Z50 and a D700, do you think it’s worth tradeing it all for the FF Z6II or z6III?
No. Personally I prefer Canon for mirrorless. I don't like the Z6 III; when compared to the other cameras out there today, it's below average. Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV I know you prefer Canon but I want to stay with Nikon so is it worth the trade?

@@KenRockwellTV ok thanks
@@KenRockwellTV 🤣🤣🤣
16:30 - at least you don't pretend like you know what those settings are - just tell people "it's your choice" :D
No one knows what they all are; at least I admit it! Like everything, I find what works for me, share it here and stick with it
How do I set viewfinder and monitor both ?
Not sure what you’re asking, and this should have the answer at my written guide: www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/z/z6-iii-users-guide.htm#monitor
So I cannot keep it charged rigging and supplying it with a vlog battery???
It will charge while asleep or off and run from the battery. This means if the battery is dead it won’t charge while shooting; it will charge when you’re done. See my written guide for more www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/z/z6-iii-users-guide.htm#charge thanks!
Ill stick to my d850
Good choice!!!!!
Too much fiddling with the menus. I have the D780 and its menu works for me. Pick my Picture Control and switch it to P Mode. 98% of my photos are technically perfect. I just concentrate on my composition. A little post processing and I’m done.
Perfect!!!!!! Thanks!
My light came on, not very bright.
Yes!
