What I did, when I shot Nikon, is I mapped the top custom function button (on the front of the camera) to review my photos and the bottom custom function button zoomed to 100%. That way you don't even need to take your eye away from the viewfinder while you're shooting. Very quick to review and get right back to shooting those awards. Now, I have my Canon R3 mapped the exact same way.
🙂🙂🙂🙂would highly recommend the Godox 960 D8external battery, fast recycle times. Batteries in flash just power the flash computer. Glad the play back is working for you. Think about assigning flash off to one of the function buttons to briefly turn flash off to either check ambient light or to shoot non flash photos. On both the z8 and z9 have it assigned sub selector. D8 is also a good option.
I had the Godox 960 for years (in fact I have 2 of them). I could shoot as fast as I want, in bright sunlight without heating up the flash. I wonder if we could use the Godox 960 to charge our Z8 batteries?
@@stanmah1588 Don’t think so, you would need a curium adapter then a way to step the voltage down since I think the output of the 960 is around 300 volts. Easier and cheaper to buy a high capacity power block. Smaller too🙂
I was used to the top left for picture control, didn't have any issues with the Button located there, but I will get used to the bottom right as well. Anyway, when i have the need to control my pictures often during a shoot, I customize the L-fn Button for picturecontrol, that is the best place in my opinion.
What I did was program the top left button to be playback when I first got my Z 9. However, I’m so used to having the playback available to my right thumb, so I’m about to completely stop using the top left button.
I am learning with you. Always new and different tips when I watch your videos. I will set my D8 menu to Only when flash is not used. I am about to head out and shoot my Granddaughters farewell party at school. Have you shot with flash at 20 frames/second. :) Just got a notice for a recall on my Z8. But everything works fine for me, so I will not send it in yet.
@@julesvuottosphotofocus4696 It's something that I learned today, with the 6 grade graduation. Using the Godox 960 battery pack (on my SB 910), I was shooting up to 9 rapid flash pictures. I could of shot more but I released shutter button. Most pictures turned out, with one or two blurry, and maybe one without flash. The Godox 960 is a god send. I was using it with my D810 shooting full power, in bright sunlight, and the flash never overheats. Imagine what I could do with a Z8. I got to thank @brianglock3099 for backing me up. A few more notes for today's shoot. 1. my camera felt hot from the rapid fire (flash was OK). 2. my battery died, with only 527 pictures. Should of brought a spare camera battery (lesson learned).

Hopefully you are not having issues with your lens not locking with the body.
Mine is fine even it is recalled. One thing I find, is my pictures are grainy. Going to have to figure that out.
@@stanmah1588 I haven’t heard that one yet. I bought a Canon R6II, it AF all the time with out me pushing any buttons. It was one simple setting.

I customized the playback button to the fn3 button.

I don’t think you will be able to shoot 20fps with flash. It won’t recycle fast enough and would probably over heat.
