The 'Nikon Z9' is highly regarded by many creators for its performance and features as a professional full-frame mirrorless camera. At 'Inter BEE 2024', the yet-to-be-announced firmware 'ver.5.10' was discovered, suggesting further evolution.
This time, we delve into the overview and new features of this latest firmware, exploring the future that the 'Z9' brings.
Unveiling a New Dimension in Video Shooting with 'Shutter Angle' Setting
The highlight of the new firmware is the 'shutter angle' setting. Unlike the traditional second-based shutter speed setting, this feature, familiar to filmmakers, is tailored for video shooting. It allows selection from 45° to 180°, enabling fine control over the smoothness and atmosphere of the footage.
This makes it easy to achieve cinematic video expression directly in-camera. For creators focused on video production, this feature will become a new tool in their arsenal.

It will be particularly effective in scenarios where smooth zoom operation is required in video production.
