The Nikon firmware madness continues: new Nikon Zf firmware update version 1.20 released

[NR] admin · Apr 30, 2024

Nikon is continuing their impressive run with another firmware update version 1.20 for the Nikon Zf camera that was just officially released. Here are the changes:

The color temperature for the first shot will now be applied to the rest of the series of photos taken in pixel shift photography when the white balance is set to [Auto] or [Natural light auto].
Changed the default values for the following settings displayed when connecting wirelessly:
- Encryption keys
- The password displayed after the camera’s default settings are restored
Fixed the following issues:
- Releasing the shutter with the monitor in the storage position sometimes would not darken the viewfinder if [Silent mode] was set [ON] and an NEF (RAW) or RAW + JPEG/HEIF option was selected for [Image quality].
- “Noise” could sometimes be noticeable in the live view display during photography and video recording, as well as in the shadows of pictures taken and videos recorded when [Set Picture Control] was set to [Deep Tone Monochrome] and a positive value selected for [Contrast] and negative for [Brightness].
- The camera sometimes would stop responding when videos recorded under certain conditions were operated with actions such as rewinding or advancing during playback.
