So far these are the settings I’ve learned work the best with the Nikon Z5 camera. There might be other adjustments that can help but I haven’t yet found anything else. See the main video for more information and important links!
Custom Settings Menu Tab:
a1 = AF-C priority selection = Focus,
a4 = Auto-area AF face/eye detection (selected),
‘I’ button options:
Auto-area AF and AF-C,
I tend to use aperture priority with a minimum shutter speed. Menu, photo shooting menu tab, ISO sensitivity settings, minimum shutter speed 1/100th or whatever you prefer. The most important part is making sure the AF-C priority is set to focus and not release so you get more photos properly focused where they should be.

Great Video
Question : is it ok to upgrade from 200d mark2 to z5??
Any tips on how to get good focus for photography of teeth?
Hey Scott thank you for this amazing tutorial. I have a question. What area mode, can I use if I want to take family outdoor session and they are running? Hugs
Hi Scott, thanks for this short clip. I've got nikon z5 and it autofocus on the eyes but when I point it to the background, it doesn't focus. I mean, I think the contrast autofocus doesn't work for me. I have always to press the shutter button.
With focus priority, you can miss moments because the camera refuses to take the photo. I'd rather get a moment a bit soft than completely miss it.
Scott, great explanation. Great videos.
Question:
I can not record in automatic focus subject traking mode WITHOUT pressing the shutter halfway. How can I do that 'cause I need my two hands to move the gimbal. Thx
Please can you show the manual Fokus help Funktion when using manual focus lenses ?
Great video! Does anyone know what my problem is: when using live view instead of viewfinder my autofocus settings are completely different f.e. i all of the sudden have no af-c anymore and my af modes are all gone (single point, dynamic, 3d, and auto) and are replaced by face priority, wide area, normal area, subject tracking… anyways great vid keep it up:)
New AF update came out, can you do a comparison?
