尼康好兄弟 尼康z63使用4個月了 聊聊自動對焦和過熱

Hey everybody, in today's video, we're going to be taking a look at the new Nikon Z6 III I've been in the incredible position of being able to use the Nikon Z6 III for the past almost 4 months I first received my first Nikon Z6 III in early March And since then, I've been able to take this camera around the world Whether it's places like Cape Town or the Far Islands off the coast of the UK I've used the Z6 III for almost every type of photography Whether that's wildlife, landscapes, portraiture and sports And alongside this Nikon Z6 III, the second body in my camera bag has been the Nikon Z8 So we'll talk about some of the things that I like about this camera Some of the things that I don't like, there are some We'll talk about how I feel it sits against the Nikon Z8 and the Z9 And we'll also talk about how it sits against the Nikon Z6 II First things first, let's talk about what's on the inside of the Z6 III Well, the headline specification is that it contains the world's first partially stacked imaging sensor We've seen stacked image sensors before in the Z8, the Z9 We've also seen non-stacked imaging sensors like in the Nikon ZF that I'm filming on right now But this is a partially stacked sensor which sits somewhere between the two It's not quite a fully stacked sensor, it's not quite as fast of a readout as you'll find in a Z8 and a Z9 Which is why the Nikon Z6 III has an electronic shutter and a mechanical shutter But it is certainly a faster readout than a non-stacked or non-partially stacked image sensor Which means that the Nikon Z6 III's readout is much faster than what you would see with the Nikon Z6 And also much faster than you would see with even the Nikon ZF In fact, the Nikon Z6 III's readout speed is about 3.5 times faster than what you would get from a Nikon Z6 II Clearly though, because of that mechanical shutter, it's not as fast as the Nikon Z8 or the Z9 The mechanical shutter exists for the use of flash So if you're wanting to use the Nikon Z6 III with flash And you don't want to have any flickering effects whilst using flash The mechanical shutter still exists in the Nikon Z6 III Which I think is a really important point to keep in the back of your mind That 24 megapixel sensor does have an optical low-pass filter It's not the same 24 megapixel image sensor that we've seen before This is a new 24 megapixel partially stacked imaging sensor I do appreciate that there were a lot of people that wanted to see the Z6 III have a megapixel bump To get closer to the 45 megapixels of the Z8 and the Z9 But I feel like Nikon have gone for the compromise between the two Giving you 24 megapixels, which is more than enough for most things really But then giving you the ability to have a much faster readout Because of being partially stacked And also then the ability to be cleaner at higher ISOs in camera Especially when it comes to video recording And also less concerns when it comes to storage size and space I just also feel like that because Nikon have had a 24 megapixel count camera For a long time in lots of different iterations That this is one of the best 24 megapixel cameras I've seen And it's hard to explain but just looking at the image quality And I kind of felt the same way about the ZF When I look at the image quality of my ZF It doesn't look like a traditional 24 megapixel count camera It looks nicer than that, it looks sharper, it looks more detailed So there's a lot of other stuff going on than just the megapixel count would suggest But I've really been impressed with the image quality Sure, if I'm in a situation where my subject is further away And I need to crop in further The Z8 would still retain more detail Because of the 45 megapixels as opposed to 24 Being a high megapixel count photographer normally with Z8 Am I disappointed in the image quality of the Z63 Or disappointed it's a 24 megapixels I don't think so I think it's a really good accompaniment to a 45 megapixel camera The second headline feature for the Nikon Z63 Is one of the features that really stands out to me And that's the viewfinder I cannot stress this enough The viewfinder on the Z63 is noticeably better Than the Z8 and the Z9 They already have good viewfinders No one's ever said to me that they don't like the viewfinder of the Z8 and the Z9 And everyone seems to be really happy With the performance they get out of the Z8 and Z9 viewfinder But the Z63's viewfinder clearly takes that a step above It is the best viewfinder that Nikon have ever made You have an increased resolution of the viewfinder So it's the highest resolution viewfinder That Nikon have ever put into a mirrorless camera You also have an increase in brightness The Z8 and the Z9 were already the world's brightest viewfinders And now the Z63 is the world's brightest viewfinder Surpassing that of the Z8 and the Z9 And then we also have the ability to display up to P3 color This is again another first for viewfinders But the brightness advantage isn't always an obvious one And I still get lots of photographers that ask me about Why is Nikon making the viewfinder so bright What's that big advantage And there's a couple that are instant advantages for me The first one is when I'm shooting outdoors So when I'm shooting outdoors When it comes to things like wildlife and landscapes When I'm using that viewfinder following a subject Or I'm following a bird in flight for example I shoot with both eyes And this is something I've spoke about before But what I'm doing is I'm using my right eye through my viewfinder And I'm using my left eye to look at the end of my lens My left eye is effectively my wider field of view So if I lose the subject with a long focal length lens My left eye can pick the subject up And I can line it back up again It's a really great way of being able to keep following And tracking a moving subject like a bird in flight But now we can take that even a step further Those of you that are shooting in even brighter conditions That also then goes hand in hand If you're shooting with tinted goggles Or if you're shooting with sunglasses Because you don't have to take the sunglasses off You can still look through the sunglasses And the viewfinder is bright enough To kick through those sunglasses And still show you the detail in the viewfinder When it comes to blackout in that viewfinder The viewfinder is blackout free Under certain circumstances As you would have guessed If you're using the mechanical shutter Something is physically moving in front of your sensor Then the viewfinder does have a blackout But if you use the electronic shutter And when using the extended high frame rate You do get a blackout free viewfinder experience Which isn't quite the same as the dual stream technology That you get on the Z8 and the Z9 But it is a very good experience When using the electronic viewfinder And it is effectively a live view in front of you This is going to be particularly useful for wildlife And also for sports Now when it comes to frame rates The Nikon Z6 III can shoot up to 120 frames per second That would be DX cropped And it is a JPEG file So that's a 10 megapixel JPEG file You can shoot 60 frames a second And 30 frames per second At full frame JPEG file with 24 megapixels So 30 and 60, 24 megapixel full frame When it comes to RAW files The fastest you can shoot with RAW files Is 20 frames per second So this will do 20 frames per second With an electronic shutter in a full RAW file If you use your mechanical shutter That does drop down to 14 frames per second But still full RAW, still full image quality It's just entirely up to you Whether you want to use a mechanical shutter Or the electronic shutter I have done some memory card tests Now I found out very quickly That memory card tests when using a CFexpress card Was completely pointless When using a CFexpress card with stills photography There's no buffer, there's no limitation You can shoot forever basically That includes RAW files Lossless compressed RAW files RAW plus JPEG The camera just keeps shooting However, when you use a SD card As you would expect The SD card does mean that you will end up Hitting the end of your buffer And that happens around 100 frames If you're just shooting RAW And it happens around 81 frames If you're shooting RAW and JPEG Which is still an awful lot And that's what I mean by You can get away with using SD cards In most situations But if you need to Absolutely have zero buffer That's where you would use A CFexpress card to do that When it comes to the design Of the Nikon Z6 III It borrows a lot of design choices From the Z8 and the Z9 It's still going to be familiar To those of you that have used Nikon Z series cameras in the past But there are some button placement That's changed around based on Z8 The first one is going to be The placement of the playback button The playback button is now in the bottom right Rather than the top left Like it was in the Z6 II And on the top of the body We still have the traditional Video recording button, ISO And then exposure compensation And then two dials front and back And then function 1 and function 2 On the inside of the grip We now have a new illumination button On the top of the camera This just illuminates the top plate screen It does not illuminate the buttons The Z6 III does not have Illuminated buttons unfortunately We also have the mode dial That we're used to seeing on the Z6 II Z7 II for example And this brings with it U1, U2 and U3 I am a big fan of these user modes Those user modes allow you To completely create Your own collection of settings And quickly switch into them on the dial So I like the return of those user modes In terms of ports on the outside of the camera We have a mic input We also have a headphone input And then we have a USB-C And a full size HDMI port as well That USB-C can be used for charging Or for direct power Whilst you're filming Or whilst you're recording It does not have two USB-C ports Like the Z8 does So that's one thing to be aware of But you can still continuously power Or charge the camera via USB-C On the left hand side of the camera We have two memory card slots On the right hand side We have a CFexpress slash XQD And then we also have an SD card slot Quite noticeably The Z6 III does not have The left hand side focusing button So both the Z8 and the Z9 Have that focusing button On the left hand side of the camera body Which the Z6 III does not But there's lots of other ways That you can ask the camera To change its focusing settings More importantly One of the biggest requests That a lot of people ask for In the Z6 II Was the ability to assign A focusing area to a button You can now do that in the Z6 III Because it uses the same menu system As what you would find in the Z8 So it's brought over a lot of those Additional customization options It doesn't have everything It doesn't have Recall shooting functions for example But you can assign a focusing area To one of the function buttons So you can quickly switch from auto area To single point for example It also makes use of the same battery As most Nikon cameras now So the same as the ZF The Z6 II The Z7 II The Z8 It all makes use of that EN-EL15C So if you've got lots of those batteries It would take that same battery And that brings me on to To one of the things That I really just don't understand About the outside of this camera I don't know if it was an intentional thing I don't know I don't know how it's happened Because of where the camera strap lug is placed Every time you open the memory card door The memory card door gets stuck on the lug And that means that It's not quite open enough To get a memory card in and out And especially if you're trying to get A CFexpress card in and out The memory card door is in the way On other cameras like on the Z8 There's a little cut out The door's got a little cut out Which means that the door passes under the lug And on the Z6 II The door passed underneath the lug Because the lug was positioned higher on the camera body Every time I just went to use the memory card door It always gets stuck on the strap lug Maybe that's a problem for me Because I don't use camera straps For those of you that use camera straps Maybe it means that it pulls the lug out of the way And then it's not a problem Also you could obviously just remove This little anchor point Then it won't get caught in the way of the memory card door But still it's just one of those things That when I get my own Z6 III I will just take that bit off Because I don't need it The Z6 III can also be used with a grip This is very similar to the grip that we've seen With the Z8 and with the Z6 II But it will not let you use the Z6 II's older grip And you can't use the Z8 grip You have to use the grip that is specifically designed for the Z6 III So keep that in mind The grip allows you to take two batteries So two batteries go into the grip This will then go into your camera body So effectively increasing your battery life By adding another battery into the grip You can also hot swap those batteries as well Which is nice, which is the same as the other Nikon grips And you can use this as a charger You can charge both batteries in the grip via USB-C The grip has a small function button on the top of it A lock switch, two dials, an earphone button And then also an autofocus toggle So most buttons, but not all of the buttons are replicated Like they are on the Z9's built-in grip Now when it comes to the screen on the Nikon Z6 III You have a flip-out fully articulating screen So you can rotate it round to the front To record yourself And you can also rotate that underneath So if you needed to shoot over a crowd or something You can use the screen to do that Personally, I don't like this type of screen I much prefer the type of screen that you'll find on the Z8 or the Z9 Which is fixed to the back of the screen But then allows you to flip out horizontally or vertically I much prefer this screen setup Now everyone obviously has their own idea About what the best screen for them is But the reason I don't like this screen Is because it's never in the right place I know there's lots of people out here That do like this type of screen But it's not for me I would have much preferred the Z8 or Z9 screen All right, let's talk about the big one Autofocus Autofocus is an important part of any camera And how has the Z6 III's autofocus system changed? Well, it's a completely new autofocusing system Because of the XP7 processor Because of the partially stacked imaging sensor This autofocus system is much faster It's significantly faster Than what you would see in a Z6 II And it's almost equivalent To what you would get from a Z8 The Z6 III can do 120 AF calculations per second Which is the same as the Z8 and the Z9 And it also borrows the same focusing areas Like 3D, auto area and wide area custom 1 and 2 You can customize your own size and shape And in fact in those custom areas You have way more choice Than you do in the Z8 or in the Z9 It also borrows the same subject detection options as well Whether you want to use the camera to detect for people Animals, vehicles, airplanes Those subject detection options are built into the camera You can use the Z6 III And it will recognize all different kinds of animals Including birds And it will also recognize people and vehicles One important point to note about Its bird recognition and animal recognition The Z6 III can recognize birds It knows what a bird is But the one thing that might confuse people Or the one thing that you might see that's different From the Z8 and the Z9 Is that they both have a dedicated bird subject detection option That dedicated bird subject detection option Does give the Z8 and the Z9 A specific bird focusing setting And I'm sure there'll be lots of people out there That get a little bit confused And I'm sure there'll be someone that will say That the Z6 III can't focus on birds It can, it knows what a bird is But currently, right now Its bird detection is built into the animal detection Which to some people is a benefit And to other people would be seen as a disadvantage The benefit would be If you're photographing wildlife You might be taking pictures of birds and other animals So you want your camera to be able to detect Birds and mammals and so on The downside is that If you're just exclusively photographing birds Then the Z8's bird detection option means The camera's only looking for birds It's looking for small birds in the frame I expect that that will change with firmware Depending on when you're watching this video So in terms of that autofocus performance As I mentioned, it has all the areas It has all the subject detection And it has the same calculation rate Of the Z8 and the Z9 Now I have really good examples Of how good this camera is able to autofocus On fast moving subjects Especially very fast birds in flight for example And I've been really happy with its performance I do think that in maybe 1% of the time The Z8 or the Z9 might act differently Or the setup might be slightly different But I feel like this is 99% Of the focusing system that you get In the Z8 and the Z9 And it has allowed me to capture Some incredible sequences of moving subjects Birds in flight And the images that I'm showing you now Or the sequences that I'm showing you now Are just full, straight out of camera sequences Following that subject as it's flying towards me As it's moving around Using a mixture of different focusing options So the autofocusing system of the Z63 Is a massive step up over what it was in the Z62 And now it's way more in line with the Z8 and the Z9 Now when it comes to video The Z63 is not just a stills camera The Z63 has just as many video features As it does stills features And in some cases Some people might think that the Z63 Is actually more of a video camera Than it is a stills camera Apart from the way that it's built And what it looks like from the outside So what are those headline video specifications? The Nikon Z63 can shoot up to 6K In 60 frames per second In RAW internally Directly to your memory card You do not need an external recorder You can also shoot 4K at 120 And you can also do 1080 at 240 frames per second 1080 at 240 frames per second Is even something that the Z8 and the Z9 cannot do So that 1080 at 240 is a first For Nikon Z series cameras You have the choice of being able to shoot in N-RAW format ProRes RAW format ProRes HQ Or just H.265 10-bit files Or 8-bit files In N-RAW you can do 6K 60 4K 120 4K 60 In ProRes RAW you can shoot up to 6K At 30 frames per second Or 4K at 60 frames per second In ProRes HQ you can shoot 5.4K At 30 frames per second 4K at 60 frames per second And 1080 at 120 frames per second At H.265 for 10-bit You can do everything You can do 5.4K at 60 frames per second You can do 4K at 120 You can do 1080 at 240 The only option of all of those resolutions and frame rates That is cropped is 4K 120 4K 120 is cropped to DX Every other resolution is at full frame So 6K 60 frames per second Full frame RAW internally But 4K 120 is cropped to DX Which is that 1.5 times crop The crop exists so that the camera doesn't have to do any pixel binning It gives you a full pixel readout at 1.5 times crop Which is a higher quality pixel readout Rather than it being at full frame And then not giving you as good quality I've also done some tests around overheating Now we definitely aren't having one of our hottest summers here in the UK So I can't test this in extreme heat conditions right now But I have tested it for long periods of time in Cape Town And also done some tests here in the UK And I've not had any issues with overheating But just to show you some of the results that I've found When recording video and overheating Here we have the Nikon Z6 III recording in 6K At 60 frames per second in NRAW and in NLOG And it's recording all of that to the memory card The memory card is a CFexpress 650GB Delkin Black memory card And originally this was designed to be a overheating test But it very quickly became a battery life test The memory card allows me to record for 22 minutes at a time So you will see me format the memory card quite a few times I format the memory card four times And the camera continues to record For a total of 1 hour and 45 minutes It stops recording because the battery dies I do not get any overheat warnings I don't even get a memory card heat warning Remember, memory card heat warnings Are just letting you know that your memory card might be hot When you remove the memory card from the camera A memory card heat warning is not the same as a camera overheat warning But I don't get any heat warnings Memory card or camera heat warnings, none of them appear I don't know what magic is going on here But in this situation, in this scenario, in this ambient temperature The Z6 III recorded 6K at 60 frames per second in RAW For 1 hour and 45 minutes without overheating Now as I mentioned previously This is not in the world's hottest environment My ambient temperature started at around 18 degrees Celsius And then by the time that we finished I dropped a couple of degrees as the sun was setting But this is still indoors It's not outdoors with a breeze or moving wind To cool the camera down either It's worth noting that the camera did certainly get warm And the screen is still flipped back So the screen's not open to let the back of the camera cool down The memory card door is closed The battery door is closed So I'm not trying to cool the camera down In any other way, shape or form I'm sure that in other circumstances Where the temperature is much higher Then you would start to see overheat warnings But in this scenario or in mild temperatures The Z6 III can record 6K at 60 frames per second From 100% battery for 1 hour and 45 minutes If I was to power the camera or use another battery Then the camera would obviously keep recording beyond that as well What I'd love to be able to do would be To take the insides of this camera And just put it into a box And I can then put all my attachments on it All the connection points That would be a great idea Couple of other things that are worth mentioning about the Z6 III It does have pixel shift So if you ever want to show up to 96 megapixel images You can do that in the Z6 III The Z6 III also makes use of Nikon's new RAW format This is something that we've seen in the Z8, the Z9 and in the ZF And that means that you now get the lossless compressed RAW format Followed by the high efficiency star RAW format And then just the high efficiency RAW format This is different to what we've seen in the past With compressed RAW, lossless compressed RAW And then even uncompressed RAW files The Z6 III will give you the choice of Lossless compressed, high efficiency star or high efficiency The same as the Z8 and the Z9 And most Z8 and Z9 users are pretty happy With that high efficiency star RAW file They give you fantastic quality And still give you a much smaller file size Now there is one final feature that kind of involves the Z6 III And I really wanted to talk to you about this feature Because I'm in a pretty unique position Of being able to use that feature And I was really impressed with how it works Unfortunately, all I can say is that The Nikon Imaging Cloud service is coming soon And I can't tell you any more details than that right now But I'm really excited by that cloud service And from what I've seen It's going to be a pretty useful feature I've genuinely been impressed using this camera Over the first few months It hasn't missed a beat It's done a lot better than I was expecting I was expecting this to be Not as good as the Z8 or the Z9 And I was definitely expecting to wanting to reach for my Z8 Over the Z6 III More often than I did But I was actually pleasantly surprised And this is a camera that can compete In most situations Especially if you're a photographer That wants a low resolution megapixel count Fast frame rate, fast autofocus And good high ISO performance So I do think this camera could be used as a main camera For sports and for wildlife And for photojournalism as well It all comes down to whether 24 megapixels is right for you or not Do make sure that you subscribe to this channel So you don't miss out on all the information around That Nikon Imaging Cloud And any other information that I put up About the Nikon Z6 III And all of the Nikon Z series cameras really Thank you so much for watching I hope that you found this video useful If you have any questions Please do ask in the comments below And I will see you all very soon Goodbye
