p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Z9 firmware 3.01


https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/473.html

Looks like the bugs are fixed and there are some focus tracking improvements too

Changelog:
• The MC-N10 remote grip can now be used for synchronized release on cameras connected via a ten-pin remote terminal.
• focus tracking in focus mode AF-C when [Wide-area AF (S)], [Wide-area AF (L)], [Wide-area AF (C1)], or [Wide-area AF (C2)] is selected for [AF-area mode].
• Fixed the following issues:
- If an option other than [Subject detection off] was chosen for [AF subject detection options] with [Wide-area AF (S)], [Wide-area AF (L)], [Wide-area AF (C1)], or [Wide-area AF (C2)] selected for [AF-area mode], autofocus would sometimes fail when subjects were detected outside the focus point.
- If [AF-area mode], [AF-area mode + AF-ON], [Recall shooting functions], or [Recall shooting functions (hold)] was assigned to a control using Custom Setting f2 [Custom controls (shooting)] with [3D-tracking] selected for [AF-area mode] in the stored settings, the camera would sometimes fail either to focus or to track the desired subject when autofocus was initiated by pressing the chosen control in focus mode AF-C.
- When [AF-area mode], [AF-area mode + AF-ON], [Recall shooting functions], or [Recall shooting functions (hold)] was assigned to a control using Custom Setting f2 [Custom controls (shooting)], the camera would in rare cases stop responding if the chosen control was pressed immediately before or after shooting while [Pinpoint AF] or [Single-point AF] was selected for [AF-area mode].
- FTP errors would sometimes occur during connection to FTP servers.
- Upload to certain FTP servers would continue indefinitely with no pictures being uploaded.
- Once added to [MY MENU] or [RECENT SETTINGS], Custom setting d14 [Release timing indicator] could not be selected in either menu, nor removed from [MY MENU] using [Remove items].

Looks like lots of firmware update for lenses as well.
20/1.8S, 24/1.8S, 35/1.8S, 50/1.8S, 85/1.8S according to my local dealer webpage.

I updated mine with no problem and snapbridge is now working properly with Z9 again

Haven't tested 3D-tracking yet, but I find it great that Nikon has addressed the issue reported by people who are "still below learning curve"

Linear manual focus with 1.8 lenses is great improvement, of course.

Seriously, people below the curve and Nikon haters? Is this a DPReview forum? I would expect better here. Nikon is fixing incorrect behavior in FW 3.0, they are not infallible.

Used the new firmware this morning works fine, was very cloudy and dark and still worked ok! Never had an issue with version 3.0 so can't comment on any prior issues.

We're in here way too often than to "expect better" from this forum.

Another firmware update? The Z9 keeps getting more refined, and better. It's users are being well looked after. Great job Nikon.

This one wouldn't have been needed if 3.0 didn't go a little nuts

Maybe, but 3.0 was a big one with lots of new features, so worth the few problems it may have introduced. Nikon continues to improve its AF capabilities, and refine its AF workflow which seems to be an issue for a significant number of users. The important thing is where the camera is now.

2.11 - All is well
3.0 - Cool new features, but a bug forced me to flip my AF-ON and Fn1 button assignments for a while
3.01 - All is well again

My favorite new features in the v3 firmware were the 60fps DX pre-capture and ability to have exposure simulation turn off only when using flash. I'm really happy that I can now get those without the focus button issue!

I wonder what the odds of a v4 firmware with RAW pre-capture is? That's the last feature that would make a significant difference for my Z9 shooting.

Don’t forget RAW 30fps…that’s the main thing we are missing compared to the main competitor.
