Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. if it is 1600 then why does it say 12800? Either it is a 1.6GHz or a 1.28GHz chip.

A: The 1600 refers to the clock speed while the 12800 refers to the theoretical maximum bandwidth. You get the clock speed by dividing the bandwidth by 8: 12800 ÷ 8 = 1600.

Q: 2. Requesting HELP!!! I bought Viltrox EF-Z2 expecting to adapt Canon EF mount lenses like (Canon 50mm f1.4 as well as Sigma 18-35 F1.8 Art) on my Z6 and Z6 II. Unfortunately, neither of these lenses are being detected when it is connected via Viltrox adapter. The same lenses are working well on Canon bodies without any issue. I did update firmware of camera as well as Viltrox adapter with no luck to get it working. Question is, why lenses are not detected or the f number is not displayed (shows - -f) on Z6 & Z6 II? Expecting early response on this.

A: These issues come up a lot as Nikon has been aggressively releasing new firmware updates with new features and adapter manufacturer's like Viltrox cannot keep up. Viltrox would need to release a new firmware update that would make it work with the latest firmware in Nikon. Many users need to use the lens in manual focus manual exposure when an issue like this occurs or if it is within the return period, return the adapter.

Q: 3. PLEASE advise me which ANTON BAUER battery charger I should purchase to charge my ANTON BAUER CINE 150 Gold Mount batteries? Should I purchase the ANTON BAUER LP2 Dual Gold Mount charger, or the ANTON BAUER Performance Series Dual Charger? Thank you

A: This charger, B&H # ANPERFDUAL, will work well with the Anton Bauer CINE 150, B&H # ANC150GM. However, if you prefer the batteries going on top of a charger, not hanging off of the sides, B&H # ANLP2DGMC is a better choice.https://bhpho.to/2imXJ4T

Q: 4. If this charger is 40% more efficient, does it charge a battery 40% faster that the Anton Bauer LP2?

A: The efficiency claim is regarding using less electricity for doing the same thing. As to speed in charging, the design is tweaked to charge the least depleted battery first so you get a charged battery back in the least amount of time.
