New Nikon Z8 firmware 3.01 to improve lens compatibility

[15:19 Wed,16.July 2025   by blip]    

When the comprehensive firmware update 3.0 for the Nikon Z 8 was released about two weeks ago, problems suddenly arose with lenses from some third-party manufacturers. As a result, Nikon officially advised against performing this firmware update if lenses other than NIKKOR lenses with a Z-mount connection or other connection adapters than FTZ II/FTZ are connected, as this could lead to camera malfunctions.

Today, update v3.01 has now been released, which apparently provides a remedy here: "Fixed an issue that caused the camera to not function properly with some lenses," the description says as the only new feature. (However, the warning mentioned is still displayed at the moment.)

The improvements in firmware 3.00



Here again is an overview of the most important functions that were added with the 3 update:

- In the photo area, pixel-shift photography was expanded, among other things, with new folder options for file management and the ability to combine pixel-shift with focus-shift or AE bracketing without external accessories.

- A new autofocus limiter has been added to the video area, which allows you to set the minimum and maximum focus distance for a subject.

- More focus area patterns for custom settings of the wide-angle AF.

- Better control over the subject recognition area for MF and AF shots.

- New Live View magnification option (400%) in the custom settings menu.

- Updated tonal values for N-Log View Assist for better adaptation to the RED Technical LUT.

- New metadata fields are correctly filled with "Nikon" and "Z 8" as standard for ProRes 422 HQ footage in Apple&s Final Cut Pro.

- Frequency and shutter speeds can be set via new preset options to reduce image flicker due to high-frequency LEDs.

- Support for flexible color picture controls via NX Studio.
