Mastering Nikon Video helps you understand and master how to use your Nikon Z System camera for recording video. Video has a whole set of jargon and options that are unlike that of still photography, and this book explains everything you need to know, including some tricky aspects such as how focus and exposure are handled in video.
Video recording has been built from a long history of standardizations and innovations. This book brings you fully up to speed about how those happened and what each means, then helps you figure out how to apply that to videos you want to create with your Z System camera. There’s a great deal of subtle differences between settings in video that can sometimes trip you up, plus there’s a difference between wanting ready out-of-camera video versus producing video clips for later post processing (grading) and linking together into a larger production. Mastering Nikon Video covers both.
Despite being a very slim ~270 pages long in it's current form, Mastering Nikon Video provides tons of information about how your Z System camera handles video, as well as things you might want to set to help control the results:
- Every VIDEO RECORDING and g Video Custom Setting is covered, both in general discussion as well as a chapter stepping through each one individually.
- You’ll get some advice on what you should really record. Not everyone needs (or would want) 8.3K open gate raw video. So what are the choices that you should be making about frame size, frame rate, and compression? This book will help you with that.
- SDR, HLG, and N-LOG can be confusing to those new to video. Each has a place and usage that makes sense. Mastering Nikon Video walks you through what each does and why you may or may not want to use it.
- Aspect ratios are a tricky video subject, and this book covers what you can and can’t do in that regard. Mostly can’t, as Nikon has standardized on 16:9, but it’s still important to understand that other aspect ratios are being used in video. A few of those you can manage with some Z System cameras.
- Focus works differently in video, and it’s important not only to understand how differently, but also why video focus is different in the first place.
- Exposure with video is a topic that perplexes most still photography users the first time they try to record a video. ISO values change, automatic ISO is (almost) always being applied, there are limits to shutter speeds, and more. Mastering Nikon Video steps you through all that and also provides explanations about the three exposure helpers that Nikon provides for serious video users.
These things and many more are packed into Mastering Nikon Video. Moreover, this is an approachable, readable book that builds your knowledge with each subsequent chapter. By the time you finish the book, you should be a master of your Z System camera’s video settings, and producing exactly the video results you want by applying the knowledge you learned along the way.
We provide both an ePub and PDF file for the book, so it should be readable on virtually any device with a screen.
Mastering Nikon Video is a must-own for virtually any Nikon Z System camera user who wants to also record video as well as take still images. There simply isn't any other work out there that comes close to touching the detail, usefulness, or intent of this work.
