I had 3 problems with my Z6ii on its first real outing yesterday:
1. viewfinder was very dark and difficult to see focus point - fixed I think by finding option in one of the menus to increase brightness.
2. I have the monitor mode button set to 'prioritize viewfinder'. Is there any way to make the eye sensor on the viewfinder ON all the time. When I put the camera to my eye it is first black for a few milliseconds and then I see what I am shooting. I would prefer it to show me what I am shooting right away. If not, I will have to learn to be quicker with eye to viewfinder (shooting fast moving objects so this is a pain).
3. When shooting a burst of images -5 to 8 images (setting H)- I cannot always see them when I press the playback button immediately after. The memory access light comes on but no image is displayed on the monitor. All images (RAW & JPG, both LARGE) are saved to an XQD card. Haven't been able to replicate that just now in the house.
Apart from that it is more camera than I need. I will only use a fraction of its abilities. Bought it really as it is a bit lighter than my D500.
