Nikon has recently rolled out a series of firmware updates for its Nikon Z9 and Nikon Z8 camera bodies, as well as two of its lenses. The updates aim to address a compatibility issue between certain lenses and the camera bodies, while also enhancing aperture and zoom performance.

The Nikon Z9 firmware version 5.33 and Nikon Z8 firmware version 3.12 have been released to fix a bug that caused the camera to become unresponsive with some lenses. However, Nikon has not specified which particular lenses were affected or which ones now function correctly after the update.

Firmware version 1.10 for the Nikkor Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S lens and the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II lens introduce minor yet significant improvements. The Nikkor Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S lens update allows the focus ring to change the focus distance based on the amount of rotation during manual focus, regardless of the speed at which it is turned. This change rectifies an issue where quick rotations caused the focus to jump a considerable distance, while slower rotations resulted in small movements.

The Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II lens update improves aperture operation reliability and reduces aperture operation noise, with no further details provided by Nikon. As with any firmware update, it is advised to wait a few weeks before installing the latest version to allow for any potential issues to surface and be resolved by Nikon.
