For Nikon Camera Users Updating Firmware
We’ve recently become aware of a new notice issued by Nikon, advising users not to update their Nikon camera firmware while a third-party lens is attached, as this may cause potential issues or malfunctions. As a third-party lens manufacturer dedicated to delivering reliable, high-performance autofocus lenses to creators around the world, we would like to provide the following kind reminders to our valued Viltrox users using Nikon Z-mount cameras:
Firmware Update Reminder
If you are planning to update your Nikon camera firmware, we strongly recommend that you detach any third-party lens, including Viltrox lenses, before proceeding with the update. This is a precautionary measure to avoid any unexpected behavior during the firmware installation process. (source)
