I must admit that several days ago I was not pleased with the focusing of my new Nikon Z8 camera. I also felt that the new Rode wireless microphone <\/a>Tom from Best Camera Shop<\/a> gave me did not produce the sound quality I had hoped for. Due to all the Tequila, we were drinking I can’t recall if the noise level was actually that high in four of the bars we visited. Or if I had not adjusted my microphone settings properly or not. But there was too much distortion in the background. And when I edited the audio of those videos, I could clearly see that the sound graphs showed there was too much distortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I spent a couple hours testing my new Nikon at my condo. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And found that the external microphone’s sound output could be easily adjusted in the camera settings. So, I changed my microphone settings from 10 to 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I started playing with the focus settings on the camera. And found that for shooting video of people setting my camera to AFC *AF area mode Small produced better results than AF area wide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the improvements in both sound and focusing did not manifest themselves until I started shooting at the Soi Six Spot Bar.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t
