Nikon ML-L7 Bluetooth Remote Control

Product Information

Welcome to my review of the Z50 II camera from...wait...uh, once again something strange is happening. Last time it was the ghost of Goto-san and the Zfc re-shelling of the Z50, this time it seems that someone from Sony stopped by and lopped off the electronic viewfinder of the Z50 to create a vlogging camera. Discontinue use immediately should you notice any changes in the batteries, such as discoloration or deformation. Failure to observe this precaution could result in the batteries leaking, overheating, rupturing, or catching fire. Up top the Z30 has a free-wheeling Mode dial, an exposed Rear Command dial, three buttons (one, a large red video recording button), stereo microphones astride a hot shoe, and a small speaker opening. In case you’re never learned which side is which, the microphone areas are labeled L and R. The Z30 has both Front and Rear Command dials, which allows the long-traditional Nikon button-plus-dial control of the camera. The 4K 24 looks great from the Z7II and Z30 - I'm shooting in controlled studio lighting on tripods. But the idea of being able to shoot in 8K and crop in post is quite appealing for a project like this. The Z8 fits that bill. Seems trivial perhaps, but the convenience of these small BT remotes has spoiled me.

Do not insert a wet battery in the remote control. Do not pull out the battery holder when the remote control or your hands are wet. Doing so may cause water to seep inside the remote control and result in a malfunction.button/ button: Functions assigned to the button/ button on the remote control via the camera can be used. (These buttons are not equivalent to the buttons on the camera.) As for lenses, only three Z DX lenses are currently available: the 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR DX, the 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR DX, and the 18-140mm f/4.5-6.3 VR DX. These provide you the full frame equivalent of a 24-375mm focal range. A 12-28mm DX Power Zoom is on the lens Road Map; let’s hope it has VR, as that’s going to be what all those creators want for their vlogging. The image sensor on the Z30 is not stabilized (ditto the Z50 and Zfc). The three existing Z DX lenses all have VR built-in, though. If the camera has already been paired with the remote control, a connection can be established simply by pressing the power button on the remote control. In this case, do not press and hold the button. Image Quality: Just like the Zfc, the Z30 performs the same as my Z50 in every meaningful way I can find. Which is to say: excellent. As APS-C cameras go, don't discount the 20mp sensor on the Z30: it performs right up there with the best 24mp ones, perhaps a little better in some minor aspects. It's video quality is excellent, too. I consider this as one of those "don't fix it if it isn't broken things," which is exactly what Nikon did. (If you need to see image quality, see my Z50 review).

The Z6 II and Z7 II also received firmware updates that support the ML-L7 wireless remote (see Z30/Z50/Zfc, below). Remember, too, that the SnapBridge application can act as a wireless remote trigger for the cameras. Constructed by Nikon, a renowned brand in the photography industry, the ML-L7 remote controller is designed to enable users to control their COOLPIX P1000 camera from a distance. Its compatibility with the specific camera model ensures seamless integration and optimal performance. As shown below, pull out the battery holder and replace the battery while making sure that the positive and negative sides of the battery are in the correct orientation. I said I'd write a bit more about video. 4K comes as 16:9 UHD (3840x2180) and is available at 24, 25, or 30 fps with a 110Mbps bitrate. HD can be set from 24 fps to 120 fps (including both PAL and NTSC speeds), plus there are three additional "record HD as slow motion" speeds, as well, though they have a 3 minute recording limit. (These three special modes can be thought of as record 120P play as 30P, record as 100P play as 25P, and record as 120P play as 24P.)The remote control status and shooting operation status are indicated by the color and behavior of the lamp ( Remote control status lamp (for Z fc)). Filters intended for special-effects photography may interfere with autofocus or the in-focus indicator ( I). Select [ Wireless remote (ML-L7) options] > [ Wireless remote connection] > [ Enable] in the camera setup menu and press J.

The Rear LCD is the typical 3" 1.04m dot TFT display you'd find in this class of camera. Nikon implements a full touch capability into the display, which also functions in the forward-facing Selfie mode (unlike some competitors, who seem to not want selfie-shooters to set or control anything). Speaking of selfies, the Z30 does have a setting (called Self-portrait mode) that you can turn on and off to make it so you don’t accidentally press buttons while holding the camera pointed at you. When used, this disables all controls other than the shutter release and touchscreen. Do not mishandle batteries. Failure to observe the following precautions could result in the batteries leaking, overheating, rupturing, or catching fire: Bluetooth API would be nice of course, but just being able to get some electronics to "push the shutter button" on the existing controller would be really convenient. Do you own one of these and could you tell me if it looks easy to open?this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. But pressing the app shutter is almost a 1 second delay. It's not practical for timing the exact moment to take a shot. Other Nikon cameras using these Bluetooth remotes: Coolpix P950, Coolpix P1000, Coolpix A1000, Coolpix B600, Z6 II, and Z7 II.

If moisture such as water droplets or a foreign substance adheres to the remote control, wipe it off with a soft dry cloth. Do not suddenly bring the remote control to high-humidity environment if it is exposed to extreme cold for an extended period. Condensation may form inside the remote control. There is no halfway press or press and hold function. You cannot use the continuous shooting function, which requires press and hold.

I was arguing with a Nikon rep yesterday at Unique Photo why Z9 ( and now Z8) can't support ML-L7.If you asked Nikon who those audiences were, Nikon would probably say “DSLR users (Z50), trendy creators (Zfc), and vloggers (Z30).” Of course, that’s not turned out to be exactly how they’ve decided to market them. The current marketing tag lines are: Lenses – Should have no marks on the elements andoptically clear. There may be light dust present that will not effect theimagery. Filters may cause ghosting when the subject is framed against a bright light, or when a bright light source is in the frame. Filters can be removed if ghosting occurs. Insert batteries in the correct orientation. Failure to observe this precaution could result in the batteries leaking, overheating, rupturing, or catching fire. Matrix metering may not produce the desired results with filters with exposure factors (filter factors) over 1× (Y44, Y48, Y52, O56, R60, X0, X1, C-PL, ND2S, ND4, ND4S, ND8, ND8S, ND400, A2, A12, B2, B8, B12). We suggest that [ Center-weighted metering] be selected instead. See the filter documentation for details.
