Nikon has recently released one Feature-pack update For Z8, but its rollout has hit some snags in relation to third -party lenses.
Update problem
The Nikon users are looking to update their camera firmware, they must first remove any third-party lens, according to Wiltrox and Nikon’s warning. Failing to do so can lead to issues with lens functionality.
A warning on new release Nikon z8 firmware download page Says, “Do not update the camera firmware with the lens in addition to the Z-Mount Nikkor lens or attach the adapter other than the FTZ II/FTZ.” It says that not following that warning may lead to “camera malfunction”.
Wiltrox too There is a statement It is essentially saying the same thing as Nikon on its website. The statement said, “We know about a new notice recently issued by Nikon, advising users not to update their Nikon camera firmware, while a third-party lens is attached, as it may cause possible issues or malfunctions,” written in the statement. If they experience problems after the firmware update, the viltrox instructs users to reach through info@viltrox.com.
While companies do not specify what the potential malfunction is, it appears that the Z8 update can affect communication between the camera and the lens, allowing the issue to neutralize the issue or potentially lens with autofocuses.
Subsequent issues
There is also tamrone A statement issued About new firmware, but it appears to be about the issues that occur after the upgrade, not during this. The company said, “After updating Nikon Z8 to the firmware version 3.00, some tamon lens may experience boundaries in functionality,” the company says that its team is working hard to analyze the cause and find a suitable solution. “
