Nikon will announce new Z7II, Z6II, Z7, Z6, Z5, and Z50 firmware updates tomorrow

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


Nokishita reports that Nikon will release new firmware updates of the Z7II, Z6II, Z7, Z6, Z5, and Z50 cameras on April 26. The official announcement is expected tomorrow. Some of the firmware improvements are:

  • Z7II and Z6II AF performance improvement
  • Addition of voice memo function to most Z cameras (coming to the Z6II later?)
  • Retain the memory of focus position when the power is turned off (for Z50? only)
  • and more…

Just a reminder that yesterday Nikon introduced their new Z5, Z6, Z7, and FTZ rebates in the US.
