Nikon Z Focus Messing Up? Try This Simple Fix!

? Struggling with unreliable autofocus on your Nikon Z camera? In this video, I’ll show you how to create a Fall Back Focus button—a pro-level trick that instantly switches off subject detection and puts YOU in control when the camera fumbles.

Whether you shoot portraits, wildlife, events, or products, this method gives you fast, contrast-based focus with the press of a button. Perfect for those moments when face or eye detection just doesn’t cut it.

?? Learn how to assign Dynamic-area AF to a custom button, why subject detection fails in real-world situations, and how to override it without diving into menus.

? Compatible with Nikon Z6, Z7, Z6II, Z7II, Z8, Z9, and beyond.
