Well...this was very helpful! I had no idea that there were additional options despite shooting Nikon for many years and having many camera bodies that were compatible. I appreciate you taking all the effort to make this. Nice job!

Glad it was helpful!

Enjoyed your lens commentary, as well as the great photos of your beautiful family. Your son seems to have lots of personality! I’m a Zf owner as well. Subscribed.

Great job on this vid.

Awesome video!!! Thanks for going through all of those Nikon color simulations , which I didn't bother to do and probably wouldn't have done so. I saw some in camera I really liked such as Dream, Pure, Denim, Toy...Those are similar to that old film look and I will be Happy to put them to use Thanks to this informative video!

No problem! Glad you got something from it!

Thanks, this is really helpful. 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

I'm not sure why, but your voice only comes from the left side; it may not be as disturbing when listening through speakers, but it is extremely disturbing when listening through headphones. BTW, great video, and thank you.

Wow, so very helpful! Would love to see you do a video on when you might use this from start to finish. Well done!

I had it in Neutral for a long time, after seeing this, I think I'll try Standard moving forward, this was awesome, thanks man.

I enjoy showing clients the back of the camera occasionally, so having the JPEG preview colorful really helps!

Thank you for this video!

Nikon Picture Control has breathed new life into Nikon DSLR and Mirroless camera's.

Thanks for time and effort … guess I should try all the inbuilt pic profiles ..

Thank you I didn't notice when I had my headphones in...

Nice video. A couple of additions. I number them, if you want to comment on one of them. (1) You can make Picture Controls in your camera too, save, export, import, along the lines of the video. (2) Nikon's free "raw processor" NX Studio holds Picture Controls as well, and in NX Studio, you can edit, save, etc. again. (3) With memories of what characterised film stock, printed on specific paper, I must admit that I have not seen a film emulation yet that really looks like the original they are named after. For example, (4) Kodak Tri-X would be different in 135 confection (35mm film) than in 120 roll film (e.g. used in Hasselblad film cameras). Also, the grain would differ depending on the "developer" (chemical formula), temperature, and the process of developing (motion, how often, etc.) The latter would also impact gradation and contrast envelope (dynamic range in a single shot). Then being B&W negative film, you would print it on paper with a monochrome negative emulsion that would be available in different brands and contrast versions, or surface, etc., all leading to different perceptions of the resulting image. (5) What makes a big difference in how you perceive your digital images is if your camera has an OLPF or not. The OLPF was introduced to make raw processing easier, but with increasing resolution it gets too much in the way. Nikon Eliminated it in the D800E version of the D800 - both 36MP and OLPF aside identical. We get more contour sharpness, better low light, larger colour space, more contrast envelope, and some impact on vignetting, from removal of the OLPF. But raw processing is more difficult and we frequently see noise (grain) in the blurry zones, low contrast zones, and dark zones of our hi-res images. I call that noise "Bayer noise" and if seen in images shot at, say, LV 10, then it is bluntly put, inadequate or failed raw processing. In trying to get Tri-X grain, you might want to use this effect. But you cannot get it by default in all cases. If you don't want the Bayer noise, then make sure to use an optional noise processor: in order of age, DeNoise AI in Topaz, DeepPRIME in DxO PhotoLab (as standalone plug in sold under PureRAW name), or Enhance AI Denoise in Adobe Camera Raw.

Thank you!

Hey man i have a question for the fuji provia 100f is it recommended to always shoot on iso 100? What to do if its night where u have to bump up the iso

I added the Fuji XT1, Fuji XPRO-2, Canon 5D Mark 2 and Pentax K20D to my Nikon D5500

I am still leaning but have been trying picture control on my Zf since the day I purchased using multiple picture control sources… it’s not the same and not as intuitive as Fujifilm’s film sim. Also Nikon PC doesn’t save WB, doesn’t offer chrome adjustment nor grain, Also no RBG adjustment is available even on the official app/software… Not quite sure so far.

Does anyone know if the website presets sharpening values can be minimized before downloading to your computer? They all seem to be over sharpened as the default.

Good question, I don't know, but you can adjust the ones you want in-camera.

For these picture controls de we need to adjust white balance to a specific value for each control or it does not matyer

@ShuaPhotography

Changing your white balance in camera WILL effect the look. So you can manually change WB to your liking.

I’m sorry but I find it very difficult to hear your voice over the music. Good subject , pity on the execution…!

Yeah voice is in one speaker and music in the other one. Also music is a bit loader so it is hard to hear and a little annoying. I do not think there is a need for music during the entire video. Other than that great video.
