Today, Nikon launched the latest version of NX Studio with support for the new Nikon Zf, pixel shift shooting, and bug fixes. The changes are as follows for version 1.5.0:

• Added support for photos taken and videos recorded by the Z f.

  • • Series of pictures taken using pixel shift shooting on the Z f can now be merged on NX Studio. Note: Merged pixel shift files will have an extension “*.NEFX” when saved.

  • Added [Rich Tone Portrait], [Deep Tone Monochrome], and [Flat Monochrome] picture controls.

  • Custom Picture Controls can now be created, imported, and exported, applying the function of the Picture Control Utility 2.

  • Fixed the following issues:

    • - The effect of D-Lighting HS would be reduced with images exported after adjustment was made with [D-Lighting HS].

    • - If a RAW picture was saved after XMP/IPTC presets including labels and ratings were added and auto white balance adjustment was made, the adjustment made was not applied.

    • - When transferring a series of pictures shot using burst photography using Nikon Transfer 2 via a card reader, not all pictures would not be transferred.

    • - The audio on videos output using the Movie Editor function would stop during playback.

    • - If texts were added to photos and video clips to make a video using the Movie Editor function, the preview on the [Text Settings] dialog would be slow due to overloading.

    • - If the focus point on the bottom toolbar was selected, the image would not show correctly in the image viewer with a state of “Processing”.

NX Studio software offers a full-fledged suite of intuitive tools for viewing, processing, and editing photos and videos. It combines the photo-and-video-viewing features of ViewNX-i with the photo-processing and retouch tools of Capture NX-D in a single, comprehensive workflow. Not only can it be used to process RAW pictures, but its editing tools—including tone curves and brightness and contrast adjustment—can also be applied to JPEG/TIFF images. It also offers a variety of features for such tasks as editing XMP/IPTC data, managing presets, and uploading pictures to the Web.

Robert G Allen Photography takes delivery of the Nikon NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S telephoto prime lens with sample images taken with the Z5II.

The first thing I noticed was how light the NIKKOR Z 600mm f/6.3 VR S lens was compared to the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR lens. As for size, it is slightly shorter then the 180-600mm but not by much. The difference in weight is more noticeable then the length difference.

Could the Z9II have this one feature to lure photographers back to Nikon in droves?
Could the Z9II have this one feature to lure photographers back to Nikon in droves?

What would be a killer feature that would knock it out of the park for Nikon’s next generation flagship camera and that would reduce the number of white lenses seen out and about among photographers? A feature that would be so sought after that Canon and Sony users would flock back to Nikon in droves? How about something that would force the photography world to look and ask them self’s: Why didn’t I think of that? What would such a feature be?
