Nikon Z50 Pro Tips, Tutorial & Users Guide

Good video, very helpful, it would be even better if you slowed down a little,anyway many thanks.

Hi ken amazing video but how do you conect this camera to wifi and blue tooth please !

Brilliant, thank you!

I have been using your website as a reference for information and reviews for many many years. I started photography as a hobby 33 years ago. I have a D600, EM1 mk1, and two days ago got the Z50 with two kit lenses for 580 euros new. It's only been 2 days, but man I love the Z50. I admire your courage to shoot jpeg only. Maybe I should try it.

thank you for the tips I just got this camera and I'm loving it so far!!

i hate that cable 😞😞

thanks! i'm thinking of upgrading my longstanding loved nikon d5000 to either nikon z50 or the newer canon r8.. my boyfriend has some RF lenses. i cannot decide, something that works well and is light is important to me! do you have any thoughts.

Great video, Ken. I'm intrigued by the Z50. But, I am also looking at the canon r7.

I'm wanting to find out if the z30/50/zfc has better video quality than the m50. Everytime I see footage from the Nikons it looks sharper to my eyes than the canon but I'm just wondering if the shooter is not using enough light.

Hello Ken! Great video, thank you very much for your work. Would you consider this Z50 as a good investment for wedding photography? Even with a different lens than these 2. Thanks!

This video is great! I got mine a few months ago. Thank you!

Hi Ken, what settings do you suggest for night skyline shots ?

Love your website, and now your videos. Can you please test the Godox V350N flash on the Nikon Z50, and compare it to your SB-400? I think that would be a very interesting video...

Thank you for providing excellent information. I struggle to find information on combination of Z50 with Nikon FTZ Mount Adapter (since if I understood correcctly, I need it to use macro lens Nikon AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 85mm). Will using adapter affect the quality, operation or setting of the camera in any way? I would be very grateful for any help. Thank you again!

can you use the camera while its charging with a power bank

Just got this camera and I love it. Thank you for telling me what the user guide didn't cover. I appreciate the time it took you to do this.

I just bought this exact camera today. This video is AWESOME

Hello Ken,

Thank You 🙏 so much for the video.

I’m taking pictures with the exact same model camera you have.

When shooting pictures in Aperture Priority mode, all of a sudden the scene becomes so bright… I have use the Compensation -2 or -3 stop to stabilize the lighting sensor on the camera. I’m very sure it’s not the camera. May you please share the tips for correcting this issue. I thought the camera should lock the speed automatically.

Thank You 🙏

Nice to see a pro who doesn’t give us masses of 180 degree and contrast/ sharpness settings.

Good info but too fast! I'll have to watch another.

Thanks for this through review it helps me a lot understanding the settings on my Z50

How do you connect to a wireless remote made by Nikon? I can't seem to figure out how to cconnect.

Do you use UV filter? If you do, which one and what size?

Love this review, still going with my V1😱

Yet ANOTHER great KR video...super job, Ken!

Based on your advice, a few years ago, I set myself up with a Nikon D7500, shooting with the 35mm 1:1.8G prime and the 18-300mm 1:3.5-5.6G tele. Both do quite well, but man, with the 18-300 on the D7500, it's a bit of a load! I do mostly landscape with occasional forays into macro and wildlife.

Based on your take, all things considered, is changing from the D7500 to the Z50 a step up, down and simply a lateral move?

Lastly, can the Z50 be set up to do BBF (back button focusing)? I've gotten so used to that on the D7500 that I'd like to carry that across to the Z50...

You’re great but you go too fast! 😅😅 it’s really tricky to follow 🤪

Hello Ken, thanks for the video. One question: why is there a flashing red lightning bolt in the lower right hand of the screen? It looks quite annoying, is there a way to remove it? Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the great video!
I've just bought this camera with both lenses. I have firmware version 2.2. I'm not able to switch to AF-S or AF-C. I only have two options, AF-A and MF. Is it because of new firmware? If not, could you please help me out here..

Sir please suggest me z50 or z6ii with nikon 200-500 which body will be better for bird photography

Hey Man. I start photography next year here in New Zealand. An I am buying this camera. But my question is - What is one of the best advice you could give to a beginner.

Thank you very much for this great video for Z50. I am looking everywhere for setting for stopping display from turning off. It is quite annoying the monitor automatically turns off after a short period of time. Thank you.

I enjoy this tutorial. Please allow me to ask: How to get Z50 continues powered while in use (for video streaming)? Thank you.

Loved your video and bought Z50 based on your thoughts. I have question. How can I view the photo info like iso, f stop, WB on a photo I’ve taken. On my d7200 I just hit the info button when I’m viewing the photo. That doesn’t work on the Z50.

IMPORTANT Hack : If you add the USB Charger, you can still use the camera & the battery then lasts MUCH longer

Just picked up this camera, is this guide still good to follow in 2021 with the latest firmware changes?

Thank you 😁📷

talking alittle fast for me

P for professional mode. 😆😆 sometimes I use A for amateur mode. 😆😆

Hey there is something that is not clear to me about U1 and U2. Do you select U1 to "load" the presetting you arranged for shooting landscape/nature in your case and then you select P? Or you shoot while having U1 or U2 directly selected?

Great video! I learned a lot, Thanks Ken!

If I use manual settings as per your recommendations in this video, will I get good pictures in manual mode in day time? or anything else I need to do. I'm too new to photography

Ken was using Nikons years before I was even born so imma listen to him 😂💝

Just bought my Z50 and have no idea what to do, new to photography, instruction booklets too small. You the man!

Shooting in sRGB is a horrible tip.
Use Adobe RGB.
It has a wider range of the visual spectrum than sRGB.
sRGB is just a dumbed down internet-safe profile.
You’re basically throwing away a lot of (color) information.
You can always downgrade it to sRGB later for sharing.

Great info just went too fast. I can’t count how many times I had to pause, rewind etc.

I am trying to optimally grab my gear within $1000 along with a single kit lens, maybe a hundred dollars give or take, in that regard, my options as available in my region are XT30, M6 MKII, Z50 & A6400. It would mean a world to me if you could help me decide my first ever gear. My focus is purely image quality, I am not weighing on video capabilites much, I prefer my smartphone and action cam for that.

Cheers & thanks in advance!

apologies if I have posted this in any other video of yours.
please note that i am stepping up from an iphone with no prior experience with any DSLRs or Mirrorless

Received my 2 lens bundle today, can't wait to set it up per your experienced suggestions and advice. Thanks Ken

The camera body looks too small for its larger mount
