Troubleshooting

Ensure you are in AF-C (Continuous Servo) mode and check that your focus point selection is set to Group-Area AF or 3D tracking.

Memory card write speeds seem slow

Verify that you are using a genuine CFexpress Type B card with high write speeds; avoid using legacy adapters if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your Nikon D6, first ensure you are using a high-speed CFexpress memory card to take full advantage of the camera's burst rate. Attach your preferred NIKKOR F-mount lens by aligning the white dot on the lens with the index on the camera body and rotating until it clicks. For care, always replace the body cap when the lens is detached to protect the sensor from dust. Given the camera’s weather sealing, it is resistant to moisture and dust; however, always wipe it down with a dry, soft cloth after shooting in inclement conditions. Regularly update your firmware via the Nikon website to ensure optimal performance with new lens releases.
