An excellent opportunity to test face/eye detection AF.
It works even when when people are wearing glasses (100% crop)

Although, I was a bit frustrated, because the Z8 often used face detection instead of eye detection, but when I got home and looked closely at the pictures it turned out that people was looking down and I was placed to much on the side (also 100% crop).

Where there was a group of people the camera would not always choose the person I wanted, but that is also asking too much, because the person I wanted was to the closest person. Fortunately, had I mapped on of the buttons to switch to single censor AF, so I could easy switch out of full auto and take control.
Previously, I have mostly used singe censor mode (never used the face detection on the D850), so with all the different AF settings on the Z8 there is a lot to learn.
BTW the pictures was taken using the Z 24-120 F:4; I am quite pleased with that lens, it is sharper, more compact , and wights less that the F AF-S 24-120 VR F:4 - seem like a win, win, so my strategy is going to gradually replace the lenses I use the most with Z lenses but keep the more exotic F lenses (.e.g 24 / 45mm tilt shift) and use them with the ZTF adapter.
