Nikon Releases Major Firmware Update V2.00 For the Z6III
Nikon is pleased to announce the release of firmware version 2.00 for its full-frame mirrorless camera, the Nikon Z6III. This marks the first major update since the launch of the Z6III and introduces several features equivalent to those found in the flagship Nikon Z9 and Nikon Z8.
This first major update since the release of the Z6III, with its already incredible high-speed performance, adds the long-awaited [Birds] mode to subject detection, offering an enhanced shooting experience for stills and videos. When [Birds] mode is selected, the camera automatically tracks birds in flight with great precision, keeping them in focus even against complex, high-contrast backgrounds such as forests and rocky mountains.
Firmware version 2.00 also adds the Auto Capture function, enabling automatic shooting under pre-configured conditions, supporting flexible shooting styles tailored to various situations. This allows users to specify the subject type, direction of movement, and shooting distance range1 to capture previously difficult scenes, such as those that require shooting in places or positions where photographers would disturb their subject.
What’s more, for the first time as a Nikon product, the Z6III supports the “Nikon Authenticity Service”2, a solution primarily aimed at media organisations and creators who require a high level of trustworthiness in their work. The service is compatible with the C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) standard, clearly recording provenance information from shooting through to editing to ensure greater transparency and reliability of content.
The list of functions made accessible thanks to firmware version 2.00 doesn’t end there. The full list, along with access to download, can be found on the Nikon download centre.
Nikon will continue to enhance its products through firmware updates that address user needs, while also fostering an environment in which all photographers and creators can engage in creative and professional activities with confidence and peace of mind.
