    Manual focus z mount lens needed

    Head in hands moment. You were correct on the firmware update, I hadn’t done the recent one and was still on V3.0. Just updated it and my issue is fixed. Thanks for everyone’s help. - When power was supplied via USB, the camera failed to retain the focus position saved with [Save focus...

    Manual focus z mount lens needed

    Hi I’ve finally narrowed down the issue. It’s when I connect a power supply. Everything works fine, no focus loss in standby when on battery. As soon as I connect an external power supply it looses focus when awaking from standby. I’ll have to see how long it lasts on just the battery, I only...

    Graham, I must thank you for taking the time to do these tests. I’m missing a setting somewhere so I need to try again, it would be great if i can get it to work with my set up. I am away at the minute but will try as soon as I’m home.

    This is what I was told. Modern Z lenses are designed to move their internal elements to infinity when the camera is powered off as a default setting to "lock down the elements". This is an intentional design, not a flaw, and there is no way to permanently disable this.

    Manual focus z mount lens needed

    Hi I’ve built a camera trap setup using my Z7 & 24-70 F4. Unfortunately I didn’t realise that once you have obtained focus, when the camera goes into standby mode the lens resets to infinity. Im having to leave my camera on all the time, use a power supply, but this still doesn’t last long. I’m...

    Hi I've been looking at the Z 70-200mm F2.8. There is a promotional discount offer on new at the minute, thing is there are a lot of used ones for sale. 17 at Wex & MPB, not looked anywhere else. All reviews look good, is it just one of those lenses that people don't keep long.

    Hi Any one using a portable power supply connected to thier Z9. There’s a lot of different ones available, I’d just rather get one that is tried and tested by a user. Its to use whilst I’m in my hide for a long session. Thanks
