NIKON RELEASES THE THIRD MAJOR FIRMWARE UPGRADE FOR THE NIKON Z 9 FULL-FRAME MIRRORLESS CAMERA
Free Firmware V 4.00 Upgrade Offers New Smart Auto Capture Function, Video Enhancements, Shutter Sound Customization and More
MISSISSAUGA, ON – June 13, 2023 – Today, Nikon Canada Inc. announced the release of firmware version 4.00 for its flagship full-frame/FX-format mirrorless camera, the Nikon Z 9. The firmware 4.00 update is the third major update to the Z 9 since its launch, adding more enhancements to video and photo capture, usability, operability, autofocus and more.
The upgraded firmware version 4.00 adds several new features for both still and video shooting, including the all-new Auto Capture function. This new feature enables automatic shooting when the subject meets one or more pre-configured criteria particularly in situations that require increased automation or when the camera must be positioned in places where the user cannot remain for extended periods of time.
Additionally, video functions have been further improved by expanding the minimum ISO sensitivity available with N-Log recording, increasing the number of options available for Hi-Res Zoom speed and adding slow-motion video recording. With still-image shooting, the subject acquisition performance of 3D-tracking when capturing stills of small and fast-moving subjects(1) has been improved. The firmware also supports enhanced operability by increasing the number of functions that can be assigned to custom controls, as well as the addition of new shutter sound and volume options.
Starting today, Z 9 owners can visit the website here to download firmware 4.00 for free. Nikon will continuously meet users’ needs through firmware updates that expand the functionality of its cameras.
