Japan photographer Tsutomu Kishimoto in a Nikon video using the Nikon D6 and the new 120mm to 300mm f/2.8 lens to photograph a rang of sporting events. He shows the benefits of using the new custom group area focus modes and the ability to customize many buttons and controls. He ends the video stating “With the Nikon D6, I want to challenge the limits of sports photography.”

Is the Nikon D6 any good in the studio? In my latest blog post, I see how the D6 performs. Can this beast of a camera be tamed enough to be used in a calm quiet environment such as a studio? Read my post to find out.

From Steve Perry: It's finally here - my massive review of the Nikon D6! This is a wildlife photography review of the camera - and it was really intense! This D6 review covers build, ergonomics, autofocus, sensor performance, customization’s, and more.
Too create the review, we took the camera all across the west shooting wildlife for about five weeks total and shot well over 16,000 shots. If you're a wildlife photographer looking for a serious, real-world review of the Nikon D6, sit back and enjoy!

What is the newest version of firmware for the Nikon D6? The changes from version 1.5 to 1.51 are as follows:

- Taking pictures with [Enable] selected for [Flicker reduction] > [Flicker reduction setting] in the [PHOTO SHOOTING MENU] and aperture stopped down using either a camera control to which depth-of-field preview was assigned or the aperture stop-down button on a PC lens would in rare cases cause the camera to stop responding with “Err” displayed in the top control panel and viewfinder.

- Double-tapping the display to cancel playback zoom would result in the monitor failing to turn off automatically following the delay selected for Custom Setting c4 [Monitor off delay] > [Playback] in the [CUSTOM SETTING MENU].

- Sliding the vibration reduction mode switch on an AI AF VR Zoom-Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED lens from “ON” to “OFF” would disable autofocus on the camera to which the lens was attached.

I wanted to see how the D6 tracked a group of Autocross cars racing straight-on towards me using Nikon's 3D auto focus option. For these photos, I took screen shots with the AF focus points turned on as shown in Nikon NX Studio.
