Very Excellent Video, my Good Brother! Many Thanks. Wishing you folks the Best. 😎💓

Great video thanks for the advice ❤

The best video on the subject! It helped me a lot. Here on YouTube, videos about the Nikon Z30 are quite hard to come by.

Amazing advice! Thank you. I use the Z30 and love it. I’ve been using on a DJI rs3 mini. But watching your footage it seems the natural stabilisation is better!

Vary helpful thank you so much for the video🎉🎉❤

Good looking for a long time

Thank you bro

You are a wizard!

Thank you so much for this, im new to cameras and just got a nikon z30 so i was looking for camera specific tips. Looking to make cinematic videos. Just one question, when you make setting adjustments on u1, u2, u3 will those settings save and be recorded just on that profile for video? So you essentially have 6 separate profiles, 3 for photos, 3 for videos?

Going to try this on my old Nikon d90

Thanks for the Z-Log set up brother! Quick question, what picture profile do you use for photos? Is this Z-log good for photos?

What you forgot to mention is to warn folks not to be too trigger happy with colour editing, because it's an 8bit video camera.

So no sharpening? Thanks for your video. I wonder how one of the camera presets would have performed A/B with the log/graded version …

I think you should not take down sharpening. The footage from the Z30 gets compressed and then you are trying to compress an already baked in unsharp file. You lose some details when you do not sharpen your footage from the camera directly and go for that Z-Log look. This kind of applies for the rest of the settings as well. It's best for this type of camera, which has no real Z-Log option, to get the "look" about right in camera without too much post-work processing.

muy buen video , tendrias que poner subtitulos en español , saludos

can we adjust the tint inside camera? I really like the canon look. But I like the controls of z30

Hi, your video is amazing, I like to try and experiment with the settings. One problem I am facing, I have followed you each and every steps, but while on video mode after pressing the i button, I couldn't find the C1 Z-Log in picture control, it's showing all the default set. Can you pls help me?

@DallasJyl  I'm not an audio pro but here's some stuff I noticed, The vocal chain is just terrible i.e. 1. If you're using an eq on your voice try playing with it so that the bass end isn't to cut off. Currently the bass sounds thin. 2. The voice sounds very compressed. Could be a recording issue or like I said processing issue. Most probably terrible input If I had to guess. Now that I hear it, it's not the worst sounding audio but it is very, very noticeable coming from a different video with much better audio quality. P. S. I appreciate you taking it positively and wanting to improve. All the best ❤

Sorry, I am new to cameras. But, do people always shoot in log? I mean, there must be a lot of work in post.
