Nikon Z7II with the NIKKOR Z 28-75mm f/2.8 lens
Well, that was a surprise. New firmware for the Z6II and Z7II. Unfortunately, no new features were included. We go from version 1.62 to 1.70
Here are the specific changes for both the Z6II and the Z7II:
• Added support for the power zoom feature on power zoom lenses.
[русский (RU)] has been added to the languages available via the [Language] item in the [SETUP MENU] for Z 6II cameras sold in the Middle East.
Fixed the following issues:
- Shutter release would sometimes be disabled or the frame advance rate would drop after the focus point was moved using [Touch AF].
- The playback display would unintentionally switch to the shooting display when [Prioritize viewfinder (2)] monitor mode was selected.
- The focus point would sometimes not be displayed after reactivating the standby timer when [Prioritize viewfinder (2)] monitor mode was selected.
- The shutter releases on the remote cameras would be unavailable in synchronized release using wireless remote controllers.
Let me know in the comments below what you were hoping to be included in this and future firmware updates for the Z6II and Z7II.

When it was announced that Dixie Dixon was leaving Nikon as an ambassador and moving to Canon, there were a lot of questions. Why did she leave? Was it money, was it something else? I sat down with Dixie to get to the bottom of it. She answered every question I had, and then some. Enjoy this conversation with Dixie Dixon.
