Nikon has officially released firmware version 2.01 for the Nikon Zf, bringing important fixes and minor improvements to this popular full-frame mirrorless camera. While not a major update like version 2.00, this new firmware ensures smoother operation and improved reliability, making it a recommended upgrade for all Nikon Zf users.
What’s New in Firmware Version 2.01?
The firmware update 2.01 focuses on minor bug fixes and performance enhancements rather than adding new features. Nikon states that the update resolves a rare issue that could cause the camera to freeze under specific conditions. This is particularly important for photographers relying on the Nikon Zf in demanding shooting environments.
Key improvements include:
- Fixed an issue that would cause the camera to stop responding or to display error messages when operating the camera after selecting any of the following Picture Controls and then choosing a [Multiple exposure mode] other than [Off]:
- Cloud Picture Controls downloaded from the Nikon Imaging Cloud recipes, or
- Custom Picture Controls saved after adjustment using “Flexible Color” in NX Studio, then imported to the camera.
Although the update is small in size, the benefits can significantly improve your experience with the camera, especially for professional workflows where stability is essential.
