Thanks so much, very helpful. I'm about to dive into NLOG and you've taken a lot of the gulp factor out of it! And I ordered an ND filter, thanks for that too!

I just wanted to say how really useful and appreciated this video is. The REC2020 tip alone was worth the time invested, but I made all the changes. Looking forward to checking out the results. This is one of the very best, if not the best setup for a Z8 Z9 for video I've seen so far. Again, thank you!

@@CameraToFreedom One question: When I ETTR if the footage looks over exposed, how do you darken it without making it look under exposed? With my Sony when I use S log they all say to ETTR (expose to the right) but the only way to make it look right is exactly the right LUT. Any videos on grading footage exposed your way please?

No worries. I'll play around with it more. Hoping there is also a zebra setting I can use to check exposure along with the histogram.@@CameraToFreedom

I've been struggling to get NLOG to look how I want for a while but this was a HUGE help! Best tip was the curve instead of the LUT, and converting to rec2020. I can't believe what a huge difference that made. Thank you!

Any workaround to having to convert each file one by one??

In the latest firmwares, Nikon enabled low ISO settings down to an equivalent ISO 200. Nikon says this doesn't hurt dynamic range and helps with cleaner shadows. Of course you'll only be using this in bright conditions.

I’m sure they really didn’t mean to hide it but it would’ve been better if it was right in front of your face huh? My nikon z6 has it on automatically. As long as we know how to do it then it’s good. Loving your z8? My favorite camera ever this year!

Thanks for the video! I had no idea that I had to change from 709 to 2020 in premiere. What do you do when you have to combine your footage with DJI footage? Do you shoot log with the drone?

Do they not have zebra warnings for over exposure? I thought that was standard for all cameras.

Yes you can turn that on. I personally don’t like it on so I didn’t mention it.

Great Video and as a new Z9 owner that does video we need more detailed video specific reviews. I shoot Sony video as well but wondered why Nikon codec file sizes (even H265) is so large. shooting like 20 sec of video can be 800mb

What’s up Richard. I use my z6 with 35mm f1.8 lens with neutral profile color then I color it up

Another fantastic video!!! I have a question. I am coming from the Nikon Z6 and just purchased the Z8. I do product videos, social media ads, and company service overviews. What would be a good codec for me? Should I be shooting in NRAW or NLOG or I see I can do both. I want the workflow that is the easiest to work with and I use DaVinci Resolve and Premeire Pro.I like to color grade but like the piece of mind if I over or under expose I can correct it.I will be primarily shooting in 4K. Thank you for all your videos!

I would avoid nraw since it takes so much space in your card. Use blog if you need it to look like a movie quality. For social media I’d just use the regular video h265

I have never heard of that or had that happen. Double check on your memory card. Try using a different card either sd or cfast card.

@StoicShutter

Check you video settings. If you are trying to shoot 8k, you will need an ULTRA fast memory card. Even some of the other 12 bit codecs require a VERY fast CFExpress card. The CFE cards I had for my Z6 were even a bit too slow for the Z8. Seems like you are hitting the buffer zone and the recording is stopping. Also, try turning on the red recording border to see if it might just be the recording stopping. Makes it easier to see at a glance.

Hard to understand why log videos are shot at higher iso even in bright day light even though the sensor can do much much lower iso and in case of z8 it is iso 64 which is almost 4 stops slower compared to 800 for log. This it can eliminate need for ND filter too.

@CameraToFreedom

3 ай бұрын

Camera sensors have their best native iso setting. Some 800 and some 400. This helps catch the best dynamic range. When you go too low then the sensor then darker part of the image would be destroyed. It is weird when you think about it.
