Zf Firmware 3.00
Over 20 updates bring new creative features and a smoother shooting experience.
Get creative with Film Grain
Film Grain is a new feature that lets you add grain to stills, or video, and create unique filmlike looks in camera. You can adjust the intensity of the grain in six steps and the size in three steps. Add texture, evoke a certain mood: it’s an art form waiting to be explored.
Combine with Imaging Recipes and Picture Controls
Aiming for something iconic? You can add film grain to the Imaging Recipes and Picture Controls that inspire you, tweak the size and intensity of the grain to match your vision, and then preview the whole effect in camera.
Truly unique. Never the same grain pattern twice.
To replicate the organic nature of traditional film grain, the appearance of the grain pattern you add will vary from frame to frame. In the analogue days of film every frame was unique, and your shots will be too.
Flexible new features for photography and video
- Imaging Recipes get easier to download
Update the Zf’s firmware and you’ll be able to add new Picture Controls to your camera automatically. Simply select the Imaging Recipes you want on Nikon Imaging Cloud and then register them to the Zf. - More support for vertical videos
Camera orientation can now be recorded in the video metadata. Editing software, content platforms, and smartphones will recognize the files as vertical, so you won’t need to spend time rotating footage. - Control ISO via the command dial when filming
When shooting video in M (manual) mode, you’ll be able to adjust ISO via the command dial. With no need to press the Fn button, it’s easier to hold the camera steady. - New 9:16 video and 4:3 photo grids
The new 16:9 video grid can help you frame scenes when shooting vertical videos. The 4:3 photo grid is great for stills where you want a bit more vertical space. - Disable the eye sensor and add shutter sounds
Firmware 3.00 lets you disable the EVF eye sensor when shooting via the Vari-angle monitor. Plus, you can turn on an electronic shutter sound during high-speed bursts and pixel-shift shooting.
