Don't worry about your D750, it is tried and true and a friend of mine owns one.

What is it they say about buying products when they are new sorts of products for the first year or so until they work the bugs out? I'd bet you would not have that problem with a D810 or D7100. Good luck.
As is often the case with new cameras, user error is a culprit. Just like in this case!

@lamiaceae is not a troll {and hopefully the statement you are marking is true!!!}
Definitely not. I advocate brands I don't even use if I feel they are the correct tool for the OP, but then models I would trust. Example of objectivity: If I were to buy another Infrared converted camera it would likely be a Canon as Pentax cameras seem difficult to convert and few repair facilities want to do it. The other possibility for a IR or a second system for me might be a Fuji MILC.

Fantastic. That did it. No idea how or when that got turned on. Been using Z6 for months on manual. Much appreciated and many gold stars.

All too often I resemble that remark, and my cameras are not new.
Kudos for helping OP with the setting.

Can someone tell me what function D8 performs ?
It makes the viewfinder dark when using M mode. 🤣😂😅

Yes it would seem that you are.
The laughing emoticons were to indicate humor. But a UHH D*** head like yourself would not be able to discern that.

Tnx. No idea why that would only effect Manual mode
I believe that your settings at the time (Aperture, SS, and ISO) would have given you an under exposed image in manual mode. The viewfinder and LCD were showing you that. When you switched to an auto mode the camera set the proper exposure which was reflected in the viewfinder and on the LCD.
D8 'On' is there to provide a 'WYSIWYG' view of what your image will look like. It should be as bright or dark as your final image. D8 'Off' allows you to set a constant brightness in the viewfinder regardless of what the final image will look like.

Just a guess. Try setting D8 to off.

wow, that worked? do you know Sony too? If so, I am keeping your number in my wallet! What a great suggestion. I did not think that the forum would get this, and I am soooo wrong. Thanks to you Bill_de!

Thanks. You can keep my number in your wallet when it comes to Sony. I have owned 2 Sony bridge cameras, the last being the RX10 III. I could not get used to the menus and they just didn't perform for me the way I liked. One of my nephews got them both and was thrilled with them for video. He shoots Canon for stills.

There's a little "monitor" button on the left side of the viewfinder, referenced on page 8 of the Z6 user guide. Pushing it steps through each setting for display and viewfinder.
Please, give it a try and see what happens. Then, let us know if that's the solution you're hoping for.
