Mastering Astrophotography: 5 Nikon Z8 Settings to Disable for Stellar Shots!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2024
- Nikon released the Z9 firmware 5.0 update on March 13, 2024. In this video I'll take a deep dive into all of the new settings and features included with this latest firmware.
5 settings on the Z8 should be turned off for Astrophotography and nightscapes. In this video I dive into each of the settings and review several test images to reveal why.
I hope this helps out those who have Nikon Z8's with understanding settings for astrophotography. If you enjoy it, please give it a thumbs up and let me know your thoughts in the comments. If you have any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer!
Thank you,
Will

Clear and concise explanations. Thank you.
Great! 3 fixes
Specific content for Nikon Z8 is great!
Good to know. Thanks for the info.
Nice job Will. One thing I have noticed on .NEF files is that if you turn lens correction on and apply your lens profile, the two sliders- vignetting and distortion, distortion will add pin cushioning gradients across your image. When I first noticed it, I thought it was my D850 sensor, but turning off lens distortion removed the issue. Heads up.
Great advice Will. What ISO do you use? i have watched a tutorial where they say that ISO500 is the sweet spot, would you agree?
I use ISO 10000 for the Milky Way images. I use to use 6400, but switched to 10k after realizing there’s was very little difference after stacking. I’ve used lower though on deep space objects that was probably closer to 500.
Actually all of these are applicable to all Z cameras including the Z5 (mine) ... and images are so very close...
Terrible audio
Got any advice? I’ve been trying to fix this for a while and never can seem to get it right. Using a Diety shotgun mic. I adjust to try and peak at -1, add a parametric equalizer, then a compressor, and a delimiter at -1. But I agree it could improve, I just don’t know what to do or where to begin because those basic adjustments are what I’ve learned through RUclips videos, but obviously it’s not working with my setup
@@willchaneyphoto i found it ok, but the music playing while you're talking was annoying
Yes will. Again great content. But why don‘t you just omit the background music. Would make it so much better.
