In this video I walk you through the best Nikon Autofocus modes and settings to get perfect focus every time on the Nikon Z5, Z50, Z50ii, Z6, Z6ii, Z6iii, Z7, Z7ii, Z8, 79 etc...
In this simple to use method I describe how I shoot wildlife portraits Landscape and commercial work with these super simple steps and how my focus failure rate is so incredibly low now.

The trick to getting great focus on your Nikon Z series camera is down to understand how the modes work and which one is right for you. In this video i talk you through which 3 modes I use and how they work for me.

This works for the Nikon ZF, Z5, Z50, Z50ii, Z6, Z6ii, Z6iii, Z7, Z7ii, Z8, 79 etc...
I walk you through how to set up Subject tracking and 3D focus as well as the other two modes I use.

Academy Award(r) nominees Greg Kinnear (As Good As It Gets) and Willem Dafoe (Shadow of the Vampire, Spider-Man) star in a provocative drama about the colorful life and mysterious death of legendary television actor Bob Crane. Bob Crane (Kinnear) became well known as the star of the hit comedy series"Hogan's Heroes." With an abundance of fame, wealth and success, Crane dove headfirst into the darker, destructive side of the celebrity lifestyle. He eventually teamed up with a video technician (Dafoe) who helped him to systematically document his copious sexploits with beautiful young women. Butwhen the fast living and hard loving got out of control, the end result was a brutal murder that remains one of the most scandalous unsolved mysteries in Hollywood history. © 2002 Sony Pictures Classics Inc.
