Firmware Version 2.60 for the Nikon Z 50 applies a fix to an issue where browsing other pictures would not function as expected after using a stretch gesture to zoom in on a picture taken in portrait orientation. Click here to visit the relevant page on the Nikon Download Centre website.
Firmware Version 1.80 for the Z fc fixes the following issues:
– The values on the control panel would remain on even after the camera was turned off and the lens was removed if [On] was selected for [Connect to smart device] > [Upload while off] in the [SETUP MENU] while the camera was connected to SnapBridge via Wi-Fi.
– The viewfinder display would sometimes be disrupted if the shutter-release button was pressed halfway right before entering playback mode by pressing the playback button while looking through the viewfinder with the monitor closed.
– The viewfinder display would sometimes be disrupted when Picture Control settings were displayed in the i menu.
