Nikon announces new firmware Ver. 2.0 for better imaging experience of the Nikon Z7 and Z6

New Delhi: 16 May 2019 – Nikon India, 100% subsidiary of Nikon Corporation, leaders in imaging technology, is pleased to announce the release of firmware Ver. 2.0 that will further enhance the performance of its full-frame mirrorless cameras, the Nikon Z 7 and Z 6.

 

Users will enjoy three main additional support features following the Ver. 2.0 upgrade, which includes:

 

• Eye-Detection AF with still-image shooting;
• Extension of the low-light AF detection range;
• Addition of AE tracking capability to the continuous high-speed (extended) mode.

 

These enhanced shooting functions will further expand the possibilities for visual expression.

 

 

Primary features of the new Firmware

 

1. Eye-Detection AF with still-image shooting

 

The new firmware offers the Eye-Detection AF function that automatically detects and focuses on human eyes in the auto-area AF (AF-S, AF-C) mode. When the eyes of multiple human subjects are detected, the multi-selector or sub-selector can be used to select the eye upon which the camera should focus. This enables focus on the intended individual even when looking through the Electronic Viewfinder. This function is applicable even when the subject's face is partially covered by another object, and also in the event when human subjects frequently change their pose. Once the photo is taken, the user can directly zoom in on the eye by pressing the ‘OK’ button and easily verify it is indeed in focus.

The new firmware enables even faster autofocusing when capturing dark or dimly lit scenes in stills and videos. It will extend the low-light AF detection range[1] down from −1 EV to −2 EV with the Z 7, and from −2 EV to −3.5 EV with the Z 6. In addition, the Z 6 will be able to autofocus with even darker scenes, as the available low-light AF detection range1 will be extended[2] from −4 EV to −6 EV.

 

3. AE tracking in continuous high-speed (extended) mode

 

With earlier firmware versions, auto exposure was locked with the first shot in a burst of high-speed continuous shooting at approx. 9 fps (Z 7) or 12 fps (Z 6) in continuous high-speed (extended) mode. Firmware Ver. 2.0, however, adds support for AE tracking in continuous high-speed (extended) mode, allowing the cameras to track exposure just as it does focus (AF tracking). This ensures that all images captured with a burst of high-speed continuous shooting are in focus and exhibit optimal exposure, even when the brightness of the scene changes.

 

The new firmware can be downloaded (free of charge) from Nikon's Download Center at the following link:

Users will be prompted to follow the instructions provided to successfully install the firmware.

 

Nikon will continue to flexibly respond to the evolving needs of our users, and offer next-generation imaging experiences that foster creativity.

Meticulous Design
The OnePlus 7 Pro features an ultra-slim profile with tapered edges on both the front and rear of the phone.

Whether you’re trying to capture a wide field of view, an object far in the distance, or a stunning portrait, the OnePlus 7 Pro camera has got you covered.

We've developed a powerful algorithm called Ultrashot, which takes advantage of the sophisticated new camera hardware. It uses AI algorithms, pixel binning, and other photo treatments to preserve the fine details present in your pictures and keep them clear and sharp even under low-light settings. Our newly developed Smart HDR algorithms control variances in lighting to better preserve highlights and details hidden within shadows. Even in low-light environments, the OnePlus 7 Pro is able to accumulate up to four times the amount of light compared to traditional software algorithms and, combined with a 4-in-1 pixel binning technology, preserve the details of your scene at night. The rear cameras on the OnePlus 7 Pro features a state-of-the-art 48 megapixel, ½-inch super-sized Sony’s IMX586 sensor, plus a custom-made 7-element plastic lens with an f/1.6 aperture and pixel size up to 1.6µm, a 8 megapixel 78mm telephoto lens at f/2.4 and 1µm pixel size and stabilized by OIS, and a 16 megapixel 117° ultra-wide angle lens at f/2.2.
