By [NR] admin | Published: October 19, 2021

Nikon released new firmware updates version 1.30 for the Z6II and Z7II mirrorless cameras – here are the details:

Portrait impression balance items have been added to the PHOTO SHOOTING MENU and MOVIE SHOOTING MENU.
The monitor now shows the shooting display at all times while tilted when On is selected for Image review in the PLAYBACK MENU.
Voice memo has been added to the options available for Custom Setting f2 (Custom controls) > Movie record button in the CUSTOM SETTING MENU. In this role, the movie-record button can be used during playback to record and play voice memos up to 60 seconds long.
Fixed the following issues:
- Custom Setting f4 (Aperture lock) in the CUSTOM SETTING MENU was not available when an FTZ mount adapter was attached.
- Although focus would normally remain locked if the AF-ON button was kept pressed while the shutter-release button was used to take a series of pictures, the camera would refocus without input from the AF-ON button if shooting was suspended with:
  - Custom Setting a6 (AF activation) in the CUSTOM SETTING MENU set to AF-ON only with Enable selected for Out-of-focus release,
  - Continuous L or Continuous H selected for Release mode,
  - Single AF selected for Focus mode, and
  - Single-point AF selected for AF-area mode.
- The flash-ready light on SB-5000 flash units would not light if a WR-R10 or WR-R11b was used for wireless remote flash photography.
