David Busch's Nikon Z9/Z8 Guide to Digital Still Photographyis your all-in-one comprehensive resource and reference for Nikon's flagship full-frame mirrorless professional/enthusiast cameras, the Z8 and Z9. Firmware updates included! Updates covering firmware enhancements for the Z9 and Z8 will be provided as they are issued by Nikon.

These two cameras share a high-resolution 46-megapixel BSI stacked sensor powered by a performance-enhancing dual-channel EXPEED 7 image processor. The duo dispenses with mechanical shutters entirely, and boast advanced all-electronic shutters with speeds up to 1/32,000th second and continuous shooting at 30 frames-per-second rates.

Filled with detailed how-to steps and full-color illustrations, David Busch's Nikon Z9/Z8 Guide to Digital Still Photography covers the cameras' still photography capabilities in depth, from taking your first photos through advanced details of setup, exposure, lens selection, lighting, and more, and relates each feature to specific photographic techniques and situations. Also included is an introduction to the cameras' video features. This is a handy visual guide to the Z9 and Z8, with close-up photos and descriptions of the cameras' essential features and controls.

  • Finally out!!
Mr. Busch guided me through the menus of my D810. When I went mirrorless and got my Z9 after returning to freelance work, I couldn't wait for this to arrive. Like the camera, I ordered it months before it was available. It has been worth the wait. Even though Nikon offers a comprehensive, 1,000+ page user manual and several supplements for specialty photography, Busch provides just about everything you need to know in a very readable and well-organized book. Even after a year with the Z9 (and now a Z8 I got as a second body), I'm finding new things to learn all the time. Busch's guide has taught me quite a few of them, as well as clarified other features that didn't quite make sense at first. The Z8/9 are wonderfully smart and capable cameras. This is the absolute best way to get the most out of them. I even purchased the Kindle version so I can keep a copy with me when I'm on the road. It's that useful! ... show more

Very complete and easy to read and understand

  • Everything you need to know
I have the electronic version. Have had several of David’s books and they are all great and easy to read. Great reference also.

  • Informative
Busch’s book on cameras are packed full of information. A little “wordy” but full of information. I have to use the index quite a bit because he spreads the information needed over multiple chapters. My only negative

  • Good Guide
Great review on these cameras, as all of Busch’s book are. One disappointment though was in the preface it states “What you really need is a guide that explains the purpose and function of the camera’s basic controls, available lens options….How you should use them and why. This is that book” There is no chapter at all, or no recommendations as in past manuals, of available or recommended lenses as in past books. No real mentions of lenses at all. Disappointing. ... show more

  • Great Guide to Z9!
As with David Busch's other camera books, this a wonderful guide to your camera. It is written in plain English and introduces the reader to all the complexities of the Z9. If you have a Z9, you need this book.

  • As complete as any other guide by David Busch's. Look no further!
It has all anyone may want to know about these cameras and more. Presented with clarity and in a concise manner.
