Nikon Z7 and Z6 cameras will receive an eyewash firmware update in May

In January this year, Nikon announced that it was working on firmware that would add new features to the Z7 and Z6 full-frame mirrorless cameras, including eye detection. This firmware is now ready and according to Nikon it will be rolled out on May 16. The announcement was made via a 15-second video on Nikon's European and Asian YouTube channels. The video is just a teaser, and does not offer information, except that the automatic focus of the eye (AF) is "soon available for the Z7 and Z6", while the date of the firmware release is mentioned below the video. It's not the only novelty for the new Z-series cameras. In the initial announcement in January, Nikon had also promised that full-frame mirrorless cameras would receive support for RAW video output that would work with the camera. ATOMOS Ninja V monitors the recorder using the ProRes RAW codec. We've also learned that next-gen CFexpress memory cards will also be added (which are the same size as the XQD cards used by Z-series cameras), but it is unclear whether these two features will be provided with the new firmware version. . in May.
