Nikon has released new firmware for its mirrorless cameras 'Z 7II' and 'Z 6II'. The announcement date is March 26, 2024, with both versions numbered Ver.1.62.
Key Points of 'Z 7II' Firmware Update
This update enhances security in communication features. The encryption key and password set after camera initialization have been updated, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and data leaks. Users can now use the camera's communication functions with confidence, especially enhancing security during wireless data transfer and remote operation.
Regarding usability, the selection of focus points via the touchscreen has been improved. Previously, there was a bug where the focus point would not move to the intended position during touch operations, but now more intuitive and accurate operations are possible. Additionally, the time to start shooting when connected to 'Camera Control Pro 2' has been reduced, improving efficiency in situations requiring continuous shooting or quick shooting preparation.
Key Points of 'Z 6II' Firmware Update
In the 'Z 6II', communication settings have also been improved, allowing users to utilize the camera more securely. Similar to the 'Z 7II', the movement of focus points via the touchscreen has been corrected, enabling quick and precise operations according to user intent. The integration with 'Camera Control Pro 2' has also been improved, making the shooting flow smoother with reduced waiting times.
