A quick update to my previous post: Nikon confirms that the new Nikon ZR firmware update 2.0 will be available for touch-and-try at the Inter BEE 2026 show in Japan (November 18th – 20th, 2026):
At the Nikon booth, we will be showcasing video solutions, primarily focusing on the “Z CINEMA” series, which aims to provide high-quality solutions for film production, high-end productions, and the creator market through the synergy between Nikon and RED.
At our booth, we will showcase examples of the Nikon ZR (to be released in October 2025) being implemented in actual video production environments, demonstrating how its high mobility and visual expressive capabilities are utilized within production workflows.
In addition to the ZR, we will also exhibit products from the Z Cinema series, including the RED V-RAPTOR XE (to be released in September 2025), allowing you to experience firsthand how Nikon’s camera technology and RED’s color science are combined in video production using a setup simulating actual shooting.
Furthermore, you can be among the first to experience the ZR firmware Ver. 2.00, announced on November 4th, and we will also exhibit a mockup of the newly announced cinema lens, the NIKKOR Z CINEMA 50mm T1.9 VV. For broadcast applications, we will showcase a setup using the RED Cine-Broadcast Module. Through a workflow that leverages RED’s color science, cultivated in cinema production, for broadcast and live production, you can see the potential to extend cinema-quality visual expression to a wide range of professional production environments.
