Approaching the Scene 153: How to Easily Autofocus Action With Nikon’s Z Cameras

(LINKS BELOW) I spent Father’s Day kiteboarding at my local kite beach. Towards the end of the day I picked up my Z7ii and photographed the action for 17 minutes. I was blown away yet again by the accuracy and ease with which this camera nails autofocus without even selecting a point. I’ll show you the whole shoot here and spend some time taking you through my menus and viewfinder to show the action autofocus settings I use to get great results with all my Z cameras.
