  • 12 years photographer here who is really happy with his Z5. I don't care about video too much, FPS is no factor for me. 45 MP is cool and everything but just another price level. With this out of the way, the Z5 can (in my opionion) definetely be used in professional environments. THANK YOU FOR GIVING THE Z5 THE LOVE IT DESERVES. Despite knowing all the stuff you showed in the video, I want to thank you for spreading all this knowledge into the world for people who bought that camera as an "entry level camera" (which it definitely is not) to get them into using there camera to its maximum potential.

  • About back-button focus: I'm currently trying to figure out whether BBF is for me or not, so I've set up U1 for shutter button focus and U2 for BBF with otherwise identical settings (based on aperture priority). This is one of the things I've found that very few tips & hacks videos ever mention with regard to user modes: You don't have to immediately try and figure out THE final forever "best" setting for the user modes. Oftentimes for beginners, it's more advisable to use the user modes to quickly try out and compare different settings without having to fiddle with the menu in the field.

    • @@RalphMayhewPhotography If that works for you that's great. I struggle with it, at least at shutter speeds slower than 1 over focal length (e.g. 120mm at 1/125s can be alright, but slower shutter speeds at that focal length usually result in shake). So I try to go for 3-point-stabilization (eye, and both hands, with upper arms pressed against my body). With this technique, I haven't had much success with BBF. I'm probably going to keep my current user modes for the time being. I do see that many possible advantages of BBF, but as of right now I'm fairly sure that I'll never be using it for everything.

    • Fair enough @@CC3GROUNDZERO I wanted to get better at holding still, so stood in the surf for an hour shooting at night, managed to get to the point where I can hold the camera still for 1 - 2 seconds without shake, you have to use your breathing, concentrate and have a good stance. It's a good thing to practice though, for when you really need it. If you don't have surf, any form of wind is good opportunity to get more steady.

    • That’s a very good question. I have no idea. It’s always the stress of buying a product after it’s been out for a little while. What we can guess though, is that the z5ii if it comes out, won’t be close to the z6. So this means there’s only marginal gains available and there will be a cost bump. I don’t think it would have the top screen display. They may bump up the fps but it’s no guarantee. I am just speculating though.
