All Expeed7 Firmware Update - "Significant Update"

  
 
p.1 #1All Expeed7 Firmware Update - "Significant Update"


According to NikonRumors. All cameras with Expeed7 are getting it and I quote NR “This update will include several significant enhancements, and it will apply not only to the ZR but also to all cameras equipped with the EXPEED 7 processor. The official release is expected on or around 4 November 2026 at noon Japan Standard Time.

What are you talking about man.
Nvidia doesn’t make any chip that will fit the form factor of a camera!

So when I wake up tomorrow I'll have Z8 II as free early Christmas gift!

Raw Pre-Capture? Well, based on Nikon's FW history anything is possible.

I wonder if this has something to do with switching from Image Spaces to Imaging Cloud.

Hoping they don't crap on Viltrox with this one.

Hmmm… I guess we’ll wait to see what people who update are reporting

If true, seems like a feature roll out, Nikon did this in past and all Expeed 7 cameras got 'High Res Zoom' video function.

A dedicated Fish Detection AF mode could be part of the rollouts.

Will it do anything to mess up RAW files or just JPG?

I'll believe it when I see it. NR has it's points, but... Noon Japan time is 22:00 here. So one more reason to be at the keyboard late.

If the Z9 is getting pixel shift my head will rest on my desk for a few minutes.

Thus satisfying the needs of the ~700,000,000 aquarium hobbyists globally. And I'm not making that number up. If there is a specific Guppy mode, I'll be an early adopter.

Fish AF seems likely as the Z5iiC got it already - but I was thinking it would be a very small fringe who would use that feature, if your number is correct I stand corrected!

Will be interesting to see if the rumour is true and if the new firmware adds anything useful to me.

That was an hour ago, here in Europe. Nothing so far.
