Nikon’s NX Studio New Version Released
Search all of Robert G Allen Photography articles:
Today, Nikon released a new version of it’s image processing software, NX Studio. The following changes were made:
• Added support for Z 9 firmware version 3.00.
• Fixed the following issues:
- With some models, the vibration reduction data in the [Info] palette [Camera Info] pane sometimes differed from that in the camera playback display.
- The colors in JPEG files created from NEF/NRW (RAW) pictures shot using the AdobeRGB color space would sometimes differ from the originals.
- Certain TIFF files could sometimes not be opened.
- Cropping a picture, copying and pasting the result, and then cropping it a second time would result in abnormal crop boundaries displayed in a location different from the actual crop.
- Adjustments to pictures containing embedded GPS data would sometimes be lost when the pictures were saved or prevent the pictures being successfully exported.
• Ended support for Windows 8.1.
The new version can be downloaded from Nikon’s website at the following location:

The Nikon’s Zfc DX mirrorless retro camera has received a small firmware update with the following changes:
I’m fortunate that I live close to a nature trail that runs along a small creek, just a few minutes’ drive away from my home. It’s during this time of year that you are more likely to find interesting things to photograph along the trail.
One of my favorite lenses, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S line lens receives a minor firmware update, going from version 1.10 to 1.20. These are the changes:
One of my all time favorite lens for portraits was the Nikon Nikkor AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II F- mount lens. If this new Z lens is even close to the performance of the older lens (which I’m sure it will be or better), this is sure to be a popular addition to the Z line of optics.
On there website today, they posted the following message:
It is with great disappointment that on May 2, 2026, Spirit Airlines started an orderly wind-down of our operations, effective immediately. To our Guests: all flights have been cancelled, and customer service is no longer available. We are proud of the impact of our ultra-low-cost model on the industry over the last 33 years and had hoped to serve our Guests for many years to come.
The Flower Moon was in full bloom last evening. The first of the full moons in May, it’s called the Flower Moon because it appears when the spring flowers are starting to blossom.
On a clear blue sky day, I was working in my backyard and noticed a few contrails overhead. I decided to take a look at the site Flight radar 24 to see if anything interesting was approaching the Idaho area. Wow, what luck! Not one but 2 Airbus A380s, the world’s largest passenger airplanes, were heading straight for Idaho.
As you can see, Dixie is not the first to move on from Nikon. Keith Ladzinski was also poached by canon. When you are a distance 3rd place in market share, these types of embarrassments will continue to happen to Nikon.
At some point, I will be done with my event photography business. And when that happens, I plan on exploring other photography topics more fully (that I have been putting on hold due to time constraints) such as food, landscapes and sports. Along with my plan on taking more sports photos, I thought I would expand my Nikon mirrorless camera body portfolio with a body that aligns more closely with that goal.
Today, NASA released a new photo of earth as the crew of the Artemis II speeds towards the moon. It was taken with the Nikon D5 with the Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 F mount lens at 22mm
After receiving the Nikon Z5II, I immediately took it out for a test drive. I could not be more pleased with the results of this little gem of a camera. Check back often since I will be adding to this collection periodically.
Let me know in the comments if you have any questions.
Welcome to Robert G Allen Photography. I'm a professional multi-disciplinary commercial freelance photographer based in the Pacific Northwest and a Nikon DSLR Enthusiast.
While my career has primarily been as an event photographer, this website represents other areas of photography for which I have professional competency and enjoyment. The resulting front page gallery and single subject galleries are the result of a combination of client assignments and personal areas of interest.
I just learned that a person who I have followed for many years in the photography world and who had a brief stint in my home town of Rochester New York (he attended Rochester Institute of Technology), has passed away.
