I have been familiarising myself with the Z6 over the past few weeks but try as I might I cannot find the continuous shooting mode in the set up menues.
Any tips?
I can understand your frustration. This is another example of the uselessness of posting, "Read the manual." I spent time online and looking through the manual, but I didn't find an answer. If I owned a Z6, I would spend more time, but why does Nikon make it so difficult to get information from a manual? "Shooting modes" is not in the manual. "Continuous shooting" appears twice, but it doesn't say how to do that - the same with "burst shooting."
Look at the back of the camera in the lower right corner is a button for setting your shooting mode...press that I. And you will see on the screen different options for continuos shooting.
It's the "i" button. Check page 89 and then page 109 in the manual.
I looked into that when I rented the Z6 recently. I was able to do continuous shooting for bracketing.

When I typed press that I (that was a typo...it should have been a 1 or one.) IPhone keyboard and not having my coffee can be disastrous.

I think you had it right to begin with the i button. I believe that the i button stands for "info".

The I button is located on the right middle just below the toggle switch. The burst mode and self timer mode is the bottom right button with several frames stacked on each other. Two different buttons.

I just checked and you can use either button to get to the burst mode. The lower right button with the stacked frames on it is just a little quicker. The Z6 like a lot of cameras has more than one way to do things.
I took a picture of the back but do not know how to upload it in this thread...I didn't read the UglyHedgeHog manual.

CO's post demonstrates why
everyone should have PDF versions of their camera manual downloaded to their mobile devices and / or computers. The electronic version allows text search for something like "continuous" and then you really are using / reading the camera manual ...

"Release Mode" Isn't that typical terminology for camera manuals? When was the last time anyone used the word "release" to describe taking a picture? "I'm going down to the pond and release a few."

And that's just what I did, but I foolishly used terms like "shooting" and "continuous." What I should have searched for was "release mode."

I guess release encompasses all of the modes - single, continuous low, continuous high, quiet release, self timer, and Mup. A word other than release would probably be better.

Just don't release a few at an indoor photo shoot, it might not be appreciated by other people there. Kidding!

Sure, it's the mode you want when you press the shutter release.
