Dear Colleagues, I am new to this forum. I got the Z6 of all things, to shoot video. I am getting the following odd message when I try to set the "picture control" or "white balance": "This option is not available at current settings or in the camera's current state." I thought maybe those features applied only to 4K video, or HD. I thought you could adjust those settings for in-camera recording. I watched videos as other owners set up a picture setting (and not attaching their camera to an Atomos recorder/monitor), but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Thanks so much, Best, Arnie

I don't have a Z6, so I'm only guessing.

Could it be possible that you have to be in LV or in a stills mode to set Picture Control or WB?

Assuming that there's a similarity between the Z6 and Z50 menus, I find that if I go Menu > Video, I can change both of these parameters on my Z50. In my case, I happen to have Video Picture control and White balance set to be the same as for Photo but I'm able to change them so that they're different for Photo and Video.

Thanks everyone. I figured it out. I switched the camera out of the "auto" mode over to "P." Now I can set the controls. I shot some video in the "flat" setting and then try to adjust color, etc. It was a first effort and it came out better than I had expected. So it seems it's a simple matter of getting out of the "auto" mode.
