Nikon released a new firmware for his chief Z9 Mirrorless camera, bringing Z9 into the version 5.20Release adds only a few features, but is a particularly eye catcker: support for Nikon NX Field Remote Shooting System.
Nikon D5 and D6 announced to return to Digital SLR cameras in June 2021, NX field There is a remote shooting system designed for photographers and videographers “on the front line of news and sports photography.”
The NX Field, which Nikon promises reliable synchronized shutter release, intuitive camera control, fast image transfer, and versatile applications in 2021, “the first major innovation in many remote shoots” said “the first major innovation in many remote shoots” said. At a very high level, the app enables photographers to connect, control them, control them and transfer images from a file transfer protocol (FTP) server from connected cameras.
For Sangat Nikon cameras, this is where the story becomes interesting. At the time of NX Field Declaration in 2021, it only worked on D5 and D5 DSLR cameras, but Nikon said that support for its mirrorless cameras including Z9, Z7 II and Z6 II was planned for future updates.
This happened, and the NX field is compatible with Z9, Z8, Z7 II, Z6 III, Z6 II, Z7 and Z6. It has worked with the Z9 since October 2021, when the NX Field was updated to Nikon’s two final flagship DSLR cameras, a few months after the initial release, version 1.2. However, the NX field is then a paid feature, which is the cost of photographers between $ 100 and $ 250 depending on the camera model.
With Nikon Z9 version 5.20, the NX field is free for all Z9 owners, greatly expanding its potential utility for a wide range of users.
Nikon said, “It is possible to include NX Field functionality in regular Z9 firmware, so we have decided to increase the user’s facility for Z9 users by making NX field free of cost.” Petpixel,
This statement indicates another wrinkle in the position, as Nikon mentions the “regular” Z9 firmware. Earlier, the Z9 owners were required to send their cameras for service to install special NX field software. Although it remains a case for other Sangat Nikon Z cameras, Z9 no longer requires shipment for Nikon-Authorized Services Center.
Nikon has not commented on whether it can bring free NX field compatibility for additional Nikon Z cameras through future firmware updates, but it is not out of the scope of the possibility. What is worth it, Nikon Z8 and Z6 III can also be beneficial, even if the NX field is a niche solution for a special type of manufacturer. The more inexpensive and accessible software such as NX field is better.
