BIG FIRMWARE UPDATE VERSION 2.00 FOR NIKON ZF

New firmware version 2.00 adds new features derived from Nikon's top-of-the-line cameras - the Nikon Z9 and Nikon Z6III. The update brings Nikon Imaging Cloud support for the ability to automatically transfer images to third-party cloud storage, automatic firmware updates and access to a wide range of image processing presets.

Zf users can now enjoy several new features including bird detection and tracking. In addition, a high-resolution zoom function has been introduced and other features have been expanded for improved usability when shooting with manual focus. Shooting with manual focus lenses, including classic NIKKOR F lenses, is now more intuitive than before. The magnified view can be easily ended by pressing the shutter button halfway. And a new feature also allows users to record the aperture value used during shooting.
