I am a 35mm/medium format film and street photographer the last 20+ years. I’m getting into wildlife since last year. I don’t have my Z6iii yet. I am using this for my Zf (parts of the video that apply to that particular body) which I’m using until plan the end of the year when there is budget leftover. I also purchased a couple of the courses you have. Goal is to ramp up on education first. Your content is gold! Thank you Steve! 😊
Thank you sooooo much! I am happy I found you just on time :-) Received my 6iii yesterday and coming from the 6i there are a lot of changes ... so I will work on through your 4 videos today and am looking forward going out - yipeeeee, thanks
11:43 Steve, you're my new favourite American. ;)
Thanks Steve. My camera came today and I am getting started very quickly!
Me Too!
Great stuff Steve ! However, I don't get choice of format options in my CF express cards. I use Sony CF express card by the way.
Dear Steve THANKS A LOT I am done station up my camera! One more question is there is way to make more visible thicker `the Auto Focus Box Area in The View Finder View? Please and thanks a lot! Definitely buying The Book! I was about to buy the Z8 and saw your Z63 preview and got it. I bought your Z8-Z9 book! Cheers!
Great 4-part setup for the Z6III - thank you!! I'm wondering if there's any downside to using Manual mode as my fast-action wildlife setup, and copying that to U3 and changing just the shutter/aperture/ISO for still or slow-moving birds/animals (since U3 closer to M on the dial). Do you foresee any issues with that? I'm trying to find a workaround for not having the Recall Shooting Settings option, as well as keeping my current settings when I need to quickly change my battery or just turn off the camera to conserve power. I assume that manual settings are only saved in the camera and not in User Settings, but U3 would be basically the same so I wouldn't lose anything. BTW, that touch function for moving the focus points on the LCD is awesome! I hope they add those to the Z8 & Z9!
Steve, can I adjust the brightness of the control panel brightness on top of the Z6iii? I think I would like it brighter, but do not see a setting for it in the menu. Thank toy for the great set up guide videos. Looking forward to your book in September.
Hi Steve, Once again, thank you for the detailed setup. I'm having an issue with the camera sounds functions, in that no changes seem to take effect. I can turn on silent mode, however. Wondering if I've set something elsewhere in the menu that has caused this, or if you've experienced this issue?
Steve, is there a way to improve the contrast of the top panel? My Z6's panel is so much easier to read vs the Z6iii.
Hi, Steve. I’ve watched the first two of the setup guide videos and can hardly wait for my Z6iii to arrive. I think delivery is going to be slower in Canada than some other places. Will the book to come in September be paper or an ebook? Thanks for all the great information so far. You and Jan have somewhat different approaches to some things but you are both enormously generous in sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for your interest! It'll be an e-book. Nikon updates far too often to do a paper book.
Looking for LCD protection any of the previous Z cameras will fit?
Hi Steve Thanks a lot today about 11:30 AM I got my Z6iii from Adorama! Got a silly question why the te body of amera looks smaller than the one in your video? You posted this at thee right time YOU THE BEST NIKON GURU!
The camera was a little close to the iPhone lens, that's probably why :)
@@backcountrygallery Thanks a lot for your answer! You have released the videos right on time for mybColombia Trip! Now I think I would be able to use the 63 and set aside my old reliable D500 THANKS A LOT ONCE MORE!
Thank you for these videos !! Much appreciated your efforts sir 🫡 you're the best
Thanks a lot for all these guides. I just got this Z6 III and would like to know where you got the firmware LF 1.10 from? Mine is v1.00...!?
LF is the firmware for the lens that was attached - that one had 1.1 on it. Most lenses don't have any updates.
@@backcountrygallery Thanks a lot for taking the time to get back to me. Much appreciated.
A great upgrade over older Z6II but disappointing launch price Steve ,on this new Z6III $2500 USD. If you are buying in Canada, Europe, Asia pacific the price is prohibitively expensive . Better value right now is the Z8 thats discounted much better camera. Hopefully Z6III get to a more realistic price point in the months ahead. I was excited like every body and was looking forward to purchase, but no way not paying what NIKON are asking right now for it , and I don't need to save up for it either .
Z6III is $2500 to $4000 Z8
Just wait for 6 months when they start having markdowns like every other camera brand. The Canon R6ii saw discounts to $2300 6 months after release, and now with Nikon’s Z6iii they’re discounting the Canon to $2000.
The same will happen to this body if you’re patient and don’t have to have it immediately
Hi Steve,
Thank you so much for your video's! I enjoyed it here in The Netherlands!
I still have a few questions. Sorry for my English :-).
* In (D3) the pre-release capture option section you say it's only for JPEG. I only shoot RAW and want to use this option. Are you sure this about this?
I cannot find nowhere in the manual that this option is not compatible with RAW.
* The Firmware of my camera Z6 III is V1.00. It's the same as your version. In your version are more options and different options as in the Dutch Version I use.
Do you have an pre-release camera?
For example: I have no a14 Manual focus ring in AF mode option in the menu, a13 is the end. How is this possible with the same version?
* why is the support of HEIC/HEIF files so poor on Windows 11? I know it's a new feature, but it's allready known in Windows for years (also Video-codecs).
I use Irfanview as free viewer. I had to install an extra (free) codec in Windows 11 in a special way (wic_heic-v1.0.3.zip).
With NXView (free version) there were no problems. I now can view HIF files in LR, Irfanview, NXView en Photos of Windows 11. Is there a big difference between RAW and HEIC files?
* Will there be an Dutch translation in september when your book is in the shop?
Keep on the good work!

Hello Steve thanks for this video. Just got my z63 and found the control panel brightness too low compared to my z62. I checked the manual but couldnt find anything there on how to increase the brightness. Its easy enough for z62 under Setup Menu. Hope you could help. Thank you!
I actually cover it in the video you commented on - it's still under the setup menu.
Thanks for the reply Steve! Watched the entire video again, you did talk about the viewfinder and monitor brightness but nothing about the control panel brightness though, or I might have just missed it.
@@u_knowas Sorry, I misunderstood - as far as I know (or have found so far), there's not any adjustment for the top panel.
I have the Nikon Z5
Thinking about getting the Z6iii soon
Would you suggest using these settings for the Z5 ?
I think many of them would apply.
I used User Settings on my D7x00 cameras but not on my Z6. How about Z6iii? Can you dial in U1, change the setting from 1/3200 to 1/1600, turn off the camera. for a while and then turn it on again, without switching to any other User Setting and still have 1/1600, or has it gone back to the saved value of 1/3200?
It goes back to the saved value.
I really hate that Nikon doesn't give the user the option for whether to update user settings/shooting banks dynamically or always come back the the settings saved originally. Like you can choose on other brands.
I'm using a Z8 and I'd really like the settings saved in shooting banks to be "sticky." I keep my OM-1 dial on C1 and every time I start the camera I know w/o giving it any thought what settings I'm starting from, I can get to my desired exposure w/o ever looking at the camera. With the Z8 I had to force myself to set everything the way I want it every time I shut off the camera, because sometimes there is no time to check settings when you turn it on - you see something and want to immediately shoot, not think about settings.
But I get that some people prefer it the other way around (like the Z8 does it currently) and that's why there should be an option for everyone to choose.
(I also like that the OM-1 saves everything in a custom settings bank - from exposure, to drive mode, af mode/area, subject detection, even which card slot to save to (maybe you don't want to mix up your landscapes with your action shots))
Agree 100% - an option would be great.
Hi. When I'm doing fashion, I often need to switch from portrait to detail, like focusing on the lips or on a piece of jewelry worn on the face and detecting the eyes. In this case, I have a problem: I find it much too slow to go to the I menu. I couldn't find a setting that would let me disable face detection in 1 click. It's really a big flaw. Do you have a tip?
Not for the Z6iii. You can set Recall Shooting Functions to do that in the Z8/9, but there's nothing similar in the Z6iii. FWIW, I've been telling Nikon forever we need a way to quickly turn off Subject Detection in these cameras. One other thought is to use a User Settings Bank for it - U1 and U2 set the same but U1 has face detection on and U2 has it off. However, it's not as easy as a button push.
Did the Z6III have the focus point border width option?
Not at this time
Interesting bug, in continuous autofocus it doesn't show a green indicator when it achieves focus, but the ZF does as does the Z8.
Hello Steve, I see fw 1.1 on your camera, mine has fw 1.0, Nikon download portal also does not show fw 1.1, what's happening?
That’s lens firmware 1.1.
