Nikon’s firmware version 2.00 for its full-frame mirrorless Nikon Zf adds some interesting new features to the mix.

Adding new functionality inherited from the Nikon Z9 flagship camera and the full-frame mirrorless Z6III, firmware version 2.00 for the Nikon Zf brings support for Nikon Imaging Cloud to enable the automatic transfer of images to third-party cloud storage services, automatic camera firmware updates, and access to a wide range of creative Imaging Recipes.

Zf users can also now take advantage of several new features, including a dedicated birds subject-detection option, providing more powerful detection and tracking performance to enhance bird photography support. Additionally, the Hi-Res Zoom function has been introduced, and functions have been expanded further for greater usability when shooting with manual-focus.

Shooting with manual-focus lenses, including vintage lenses, is now said by Nikon to be more intuitive than ever. Users can easily exit the magnified display by simply half-pressing the shutter-release button. And, as well as all that, a new function allows users to record the aperture values used during shooting for better control and reference.
