I have a z7ii and just bought a z9. I have been studying the focus modes for some time. You are the first one to point out how subject tracking does not work with dynamic range. Thank You
That’s really interesting and helpful, thank you for taking the time to do that. I’m hiring a Z8 for the weekend which will be my first experience of mirrorless. I’ve had a D610 for some years now, with various dSLRs and SLRs before that, so I’m expecting quite a jump in focus ability. I’ve watched lots of videos with some really helpful ones from Steve Perry and Hudson Henry, but this is the first time I’ve seen the areas and their nuances explained this way - super helpful, thanks.
Brilliant content. Well done. The info is so good, and your expertiese is very evident. If you could improve the audio a touch this chanel could be huge because you're really great.
That is a bit Tricky, ‘assuming’ your DoF is large enough to accommodate all the people in the group, basic Eye detection will work fine. Just start the focusing mode (which ever you pick) on the person you want to be the sharpest. And you good.. BUT the DoF has to be large enough to accommodate everyone, otherwise people at the edges of the DoF will be blurry.
You didn’t seem to talk about 3d tracking at all really. You’re doing a disservice to not ever use full auto area. And the 3d handoff is a standard method, so you should’ve talked about that as well.

Great to hear! It can't be a bit of a learning curve coming for the DLSR!
I did a video on 'Nikon Z9 and Z8: 3D Tracking vs Focus and Recompose' it covers a bit of this as well
Great video explanation for how Nikon AF works
@@marcuspersley .OR. does not work!
I was skeptical when I saw the first part of your video.
But after watching it I have to say, you nailed it. Very easy to understand. Nice job! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad it helped!

Good luck! Take a bit of time to learn it (hands on) before going on the trip!

Thanks, will do! Still working on the whole Video Production thing!
Thanks for the clear explanation with real life application. Cheers!
You're welcome!
Thank you for posting the video - it helped a lot. I have a question- what focus mode will be suitable for group photos- I have z9

Understood: Thank you so much for your time and explanation

Thank you for your feedback! both Handoff and Pickup's are planned for future videos. This was more of a general methods video
