Nikon Releases Firmware Version 1.10 For the Nikon ZR
Nikon is pleased to announce the release of firmware version 1.10 for its full-frame sensor camera in the Z CINEMA series, the Nikon ZR.
Firmware version 1.10 for the ZR significantly extends the maximum length of recording time from 125 min. to 360 min. (6hrs)1, making it possible to shoot at events that require extended recording such as interviews, documentaries and more. The new update also supports timecode input over a wired connection via the external microphone/line input connector, making it easier to synchronise with audio recording devices and other cameras. In addition, a file-naming convention similar to that of RED cameras has been adopted, enabling more efficient data management, especially when shooting with multiple cameras.
A number of features that enhance usability have also been added, including a function that displays a warning line indicating the maximum brightness level in the brightness information display (histogram, wave-form monitor) when recording R3D NE videos in Log3G10, making exposure easier to control. The number of LUTs that can be imported from a memory card using Custom Setting [3D LUT] > [Import CUBE file] has been increased from 10 to a maximum of 50. This allows users to choose the LUT that will best match the final intent from a broader range of options while on location.
In addition, a [Power-on lamp energy saver] option has been added to the setup menu, allowing users to choose an option that keeps the power-on lamp lit at all times. This allows the user to check whether the camera is on or off at a glance, even when the monitor is closed, preventing unintentional drain on the battery while carrying or transporting the camera. Moreover, [Video file type] can now be set to [R3D NE 12-bit (R3D)] in the video recording menu even if the shooting mode is AUTO, making it possible for users to easily enjoy cinematic video recording with simple operation.
