Nikon Z5 A Complete Guide: The Arrival of the Mirrorless Era

Nikon Z5, Nikon’s third full-frame digital mirrorless model and the first to offer dual memory card slots. With the 24MP sensor, the Nikon Z5 supports most of the Z6’s superb functionality at an affordable price — including the 5-axis in-body image stabilization and a powerful autofocus system with face/eye/animal detection. In fact, the Z5’s comprehensive menu structure is almost identical to the one offered in the Nikon Z6/Z7. This means there are myriad things for you to learn and memorize. But you do not have to buy a 500-page photo book each time a new digital camera hits the market. This concise Z5 guide shows you how to use this latest digital camera from Nikon in a simple, logical, easy-to-follow way. All relevant information to operate the camera is conveniently assembled together in one place for easy access under the headings such as Exposure / Image quality / Focus / White balance / Customization / The i menu / My menu / User settings U1U2U3 / and so on. This book also includes detailed description of some powerful photo techniques supported by the Z5, such as Focus stacking / Auto bracketing / Multiple exposure / Interval timer shooting / Time-lapse movie. Finally, all menu items in the Z5 are described in a clear and concise manner for easy reference in the Menu List section of the book. Today’s digital cameras are so powerful and sophisticated that the camera will take pictures by itself. All you have to do is to click the shutter – provided that the camera is properly set. I added a concise check list at the end of the book – go through the items in the list before shooting to make sure all the critical settings are correct. Well, photography is fun. Read through my book and you will be a Z5 expert in no time. Enjoy! — For those of you who already know how to use the camera but just need a menu reference (after all, there are only 180, give or take, menu items in the Z5’s menu tree!) I made a compact pocket guide “Nikon Z5 Pocket Guide” – this is the same as the later half of “A Complete Guide” book, only squeezed in a small 5.5 x 8 inch size to fit in your camera bag.
