As a Nikon AND Canon user. I am by no means a fanboy… but I just want to say that people who give Nikon shit are delusional and probably in denial… people who bought the z9 2 years ago for being a great camera have an even better camera today, which other brand can say the same? Genuine question 🤔
Boom there it IS!!!
You see things as they are, and are a voice of reason. More evidence...I think the announcement the other day that the Z9 will be the handheld camera that the astronauts use on the upcoming Artemis Moon landings caused some reaction, even with Nikon fans, that this is something new. Nikon and Nasa have been partners for 50 years. Maybe rather than delusional/denial, you should have just said ‘brainwashed.’ Happens with everything these days, it seems.
Spot on ..as a r3 user I’d like the same level of upgrade
I'm overwhelmed to note your prompt update on firmware 5.0. You are the first you tube influencer to report this 😊❤
“Influencer” doesn’t really do him justice, don’t you think?
@@Chrsly maybe I'm wrong in a sense....but I thought he does influence our knowledge upgrading....so this term actually doesn't hurt 😀
Matt is the first because all others are installing and testing the new version before making the video. Strategic move on Matt's part ;-)
Being able to switch between Photo in Aperture Priority to Video in MANUAL Priority is a blessing!! Thanks Nikon! :)
I was hoping for pre-capture in RAW. That would make the Z9 perfect for my use-case. That's my last wish-list item, other than a cut-down menu system where you just see the items you added from the full menu.
If nothing else, they could have given us 20 raw HE* in precapture

And I'd be willing to take whatever frame rate is practical with RAW. Just give me the option.
@@BowlesImages Absolutely, 5fps pre-capture would give you something quite useable, it definitely wouldn't need to be 20fps!
they missed the pixel shift feature the Z8 already has
I would have liked to see Pixelshift and PreCapture in RAW. Nice to see they are addressing some of the user requests though.
All good stuff - but no pixel shift?!
Thanks Matt. Really great that Nikon are continuing to develop the Z9 firmware - that's really positive, however, after watching all your video I confess to being rather frustrated. There are quite a number of enhancements there which, I am sure, will enhance the Z9 experience but there is nothing that screams out to me "that's what I really wanted"! Sadly, the one enhancement that I really DO want is still missing - Pre-Capture in RAW. Olympus have been offering this in their OM-1 Mk1 & II so come on Nikon, PLEASE give us that. Personally, I don't care about Pre-Capture at 120fps, 30fps is perfectly adequate but it really does need to be in RAW. I am frightened that Nikon are holding this back for their next camera and might never give it to us in the Z9 or Z8. As a 75 year old pensioner keen on bird and wildlife photography the Z9 & Z8 I now own will almost certainly be the last camera bodies I buy so I really want this feature in RAW for these bodies
Hi Brian, it's hard to say what might come next, as there are so many different needs for so many different use cases. Some want more cine features, some want more FPS, some want even more AF tweaks, some want custom shutter sounds, some want more fine grain features. Fingers crossed we all get what we would love over time :)
It is odd that Nikon have not yet released RAW pre-capture, even at a slower FPS if necessary. Even Canon offers a rather nifty RAW pre-capture feature where you can scrub back and forth through the set and extract a JPG or RAW in-camera.
Dear Rock, I received both of your books Melbourne A Love Affair and Sydney A Love Affair. They were both tastefully autographed so now I am a very happy man. Thank you for your love of photography! I wish I could spend a few months in your country exploring and meeting the people that make Australia such a great country. See you on your next video.
So glad James, thank you so much, they are very kind words. We would love to welcome you here :) Regards Matt
The firmware updates are great, but I still have two items on my wishlist to make this the best system. 1) RAW pre-capture and 2) a burst delete function. Shooting sports I often shoot a burst because something might happen, but if it doesn’t, I’d like to be able to delete the burst in one step rather than have to go through each frame individually.
Burst delete is a great idea. 😀
Thanks Matt - I appreciate that you were right on top of this. Nikon just keeps getting better!
-PD
Nikon just keep on giving. :-) Free stuff over and over again. This camera has surpassed my expectations so many times. Well done Nikon. Thanks Matt. Great summary. 👍🏻
Cheers, Matt! Exciting times all around!
Nikon just keep rolling, FW, SPACE, LENSES, CINEMA ... OMG !!!
wow superb!!!! thank you for summarizing the V5 firmware.
Thanks for the heads up! Just updated my firmware! Thanks for the info!
Very happy with the progress of updates for Z8,Z9 as I no longer have a Z7. I do really feel for the Z6(II) and Z7(II) people out there.
Great review.
I was hoping for Raw Pre Release update.
Thanks for the update
No problem 👍
Thanks Matt... Good on Nikon, I'm so impressed with what they are doing with firmware where it's possible, lucky to be invested in Nikon gear, they've really turned into a customer focused company. 👏👏👏
Wow, Nikon Z9 updates!! Good job Nikon and great update and information Matt !!
Life is back to normal; I'm learning about firmware updates from first. :^). Thanks!
Thanks to your video I've updated my Z9 before I've received a firmware update email from Nikon :) Cheers from Canada!
1st channel to discuss this firmware update!!Thank you!!.
Loving the clean bright background and use of 4k or 8k for smooth zooming in! Well done!!!
Nikon is hitting the ball out of the park with these firmware upgrades ! Well done Nikon
Definitely was hoping for RAW pre release.
Sooooooo happy I chose the Z9. It just keeps getter better!
Sony really need to look at what Nikon is doing. A1 user here and barely have received any substantial updates.
As ever Matt a cracking video! I updated to V5.00 first thing this morning in the UK and have already had a bit of a play around. It’s all looking very good and another wonderful reason why owning Nikon Z series cameras means that firmware updates almost give one a new ‘free’ camera each time the are released 🤣. Keep up the great videos 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Matt! We have an elephant in the room...where is the Pixel Shift? I’m hoping they are working on a more refined implementation, possibly all in camera or possibly it deals with minor movements...
Hello Matt! Thanks for sharing info about firmware 5.0 for the Z9. 🎉
My pleasure!
Hope it has some AF improvements… and the precapture RAW is still elusive.. would have loved even if it’s 20fps RAW precapture… but definitely a huge kudos to Nikon for consistently updating the firmware! Love them for that
If nothing else, they could have given us 20 raw HE* in precapture

Saw the Nikon announcement but no channels covering…. Que Matt! Cheers
Pretty incredible that we are at firmware 5.0 in just over 2 years. I may need to get some more desiccant packs to soak up the tears from my other Z's.
LOL
😂😂😂
😂
My Z7 ii is ugly crying. dry heaves galore! 😂
My Z6 II feels ignored and abandoned
Thanks Matt…Nikon Rocks!!!!
and ROLLS!!! lol
Great video Matt! Regarding a14, my understanding is that, if the setting is turned on, when you manually focus, the lens will automatically go to max aperture, giving a very narrow depth of field (thinking say 85mm f/1.2). This allows for very accurate focusing, especially when paired with focus peaking. Once you begin to take pictures, the camera goes back to your previous aperture setting, while holding your focusing distance. Cheers!
They fixed my two biggest video gripes. Top of my list-the camera PASM mode setting is now independent between stills and video (which previously made quick changes between stills and video slow and clunky). That’s great news. And you can now used BT timecode and the external grip at the same time. So now I can begin to use the Z9 in my regular video workflow. That’s a big deal.
Yep we chatted about this a year or two ago, and at the time I thought they would get to it.
@@MattIrwinPhotography Yes, a pleasant surprise to have both issues corrected. For that matter, a pleasant surprise Nikon continues to enhance the Z9 so thoroughly rather than holding us hostage to a new camera purchase. You also mention Nikon/Red. And all depends on whether Nikon can retain key talent through the transition. There's always a small chance this will be one of the few exceptions to the rule, but generally speaking, proud and independent companies like Red tend to hire independent minded (iconoclastic) staff, and when all of a sudden they have to start reporting up many more layers of bureaucracy for approvals, the independent folks tend to look for another "disrupter" opportunity elsewhere. From the outside it looks like a total mismatch, but hopefully not, Red has been an important player in cine, constantly pushing the status quo. We will know much more in a few years.
@@waveland My guess is Nikon will take very seriously who RED are. And I think that is exactly the reason this is all happening. RED are a disruptor in the cine market, and I suspect Nikon is hoping to build on all the good. Of course nothing like this will ever go perfectly, but they have clearly stated RED will remain seperate concern like MRMC I believe. If they take their time, share IP where needed and build on each others strengths, it could be very fruitful. RED will have far more potential resources across the board, and Nikon will have a new/more market for selling cameras and lenses and motion control robots. It is all possible, just needs to be done right. And indeed all good things take time.
me thinking of z9 not having pixel shift possibly means it is a hardware limitation since it was released earlier than z8 and the tech during its production could not support it
Thanks Matt,
I wish Nikon would fix the Banks problem. Make them actually useable !
I hope v5.1 has a feature from the Zf, AF tracking with manual focus lenses.
Great Work Matt Nikon is Blazing!!!
RONALDINIO! Que Tal????? hehe 🤘🏼
Hello Matt, As some one eles said HOLD that thought< I am just going to get it. I am back just for interest it does take 6 mins to update, so remember a full battery will no be a bad thought.
Okay. Firmware 5.00 installed. The mode fix is great, but as a commercial video shooter we still don’t have fractional frame rates and Nikon has yet to squeeze in at least the 1/48th kludge in lieu of shutter angles. They’ve made important strides with video, but this is still not a camera you can use on larger productions where the spec sheet may say 23.976p or it might say straight 24p, and the camera must be able to output the exact frame rate required. For personal projects, the mode issue was my biggest gripe with the camera and it will be great to flip from stills in A to video in M and not have to rebuild my exposure settings every time I switch. That’s a huge quality of life improvement. The rest will probably have to wait for a Z-mount Komodo! 😊
Cool features, I guess adding subject detection during MF isn't possible like the Zf, Z8 didn't get it and now the Z9 isn't getting that either. I would like to see the high frequency flicker presets to come to the Z8, I forget to set that up when shooting in low light and then have to setup after a few shots and it takes a bit to dial it in, presets makes it easier.
Fantastic! Looking forward to testing high frequency flicker adjustment for LED lights and avoid “banding” issues? Is that what it’s for? Thanks for this Nikon news, very exciting indeed!🙏🏻
Yes, exactly
Pre-Relase in C15 is big 👍
As always a good post, so will update my Z9 today. Have you done a post about Flicker Reduction? I encountered it for the first time last weekend. It was strange as shooting with the 50mm f/1.2, wide open the flicker was terrible but stopping down to f/2.0 or above it disappeared.
Great news! Time to experiment! 😎👍🏾🙏🏾 🏴🇸🇪🇹🇹
Nice Camera Nikon z9
The one Good thing I have done in my 73 years on Planet Earth is to switch from Minolta to NIKON in 1971.. I havent been one eyed during this 50 plus year period as I have had 2 Sony TV's and 2 Canon Pixma Printers .. spreading the Love
30fps and Pre-capture are still in JPEG. Wish Nikon implement this if a function like Metering is assigned to a Function button, user does not have to hold the Function button while rotating the Command Dial. In other words, it would be more convenient if the Function button is pressed, the assigned function/feature will display on either evf or (and) monitor so the user just rotates the Command Dial to select the desired feature and hit OK button to complete the process. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
Would be super cool to see yhe quality of life updates from the z8 ported to the zf (like the control for half shutter being customizable to zoom critical focus)
Great, thank you. I update my cameras through the Tornado NKN program, what about you?
The question I have is do the skin toning and softening effect RAW or only JPEG.
Спасибо Матт! Печально, были такие радужные надежды на новую прошивку, да ещё с таким громким названием 5.00 от которых загорелись глаза, а в итоге после ознакомления с ней даже нет желания скачивать и устанавливать новую прошивку. Но при этом остаюсь с Nikon в надежде на будущие улучшения по просьбам пользователей
Much appreciated Matt,
Thank you, hasn't cost me a cent this time ! :)
An E bike for a photographer ? Just saying :)
Regards,
................. Gary
Well ver. 5 doesn't provide NX with the Picture Control Setting Info/ability to change, so it is back to FW 4.1
Yeeeewwwww 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks -ANTHER great gift from Nikon - but a major update - not at first look. I wonder what has changed under the hood to justify this.
OK -- now I have had a chance to look and watch a few other vids.
- C15 fps added - new 15 fps can be used with prerelease but still only JPG (Arg!!)
- AF fixes (including AF fine tune bug) and enhancements
- auto-capture changes
- high speed flickr changes
- LV zoom now upto 400%
- a few Network Menu and GPS fixes/changes
- yes Z9 now has Z8 portrait features
- yes some vid changes - but still no false colour display nor shutter angle.
Key other diffs between Z9(5.00) and Z8(2.00) other than physical:
- Pixel shift still only in Z8/Zf.
- Photo Shooting - Tone Mode - Normal/HLG in Z8, which allows access to HEIF images rather than JPG in Photo Shooting -- still NOT available in Z9
- Z8 and Z9 menus very close (~when including MB-N12 fns and ignoring other button diffs). Custom settings D3 in Z9 allows Limit release mode selection - no other material differences I can quickly see in Custom Settings menus at the item level - no doubt some diffs deeper in.
I am sure there are more in the details.
Please Nikon add LUT support, also we need linear focus rotation on all lenses not just on some.
That looks very interesting, too bad this did not come out 24 hours ago. I am leaving on vacation in about 2 hours. I look forward to the improvements in about 2 weeks.😊
My hope was that we would get high-resolution pixel-shift images with this update. But you also need something for update 6.0.
Hello Matt, tks for the review. I am just now starting my Z9 adventure, after several years of waiting. Do you think I need to do all the different updatesz, when I get the housing, or is it sufficient to do 5.0 and I'll be completely up to date?
Yes, just 5.00 will do. It's an integral update, not cumulative
Wish they gave us the ability to cycle af modes like the z8 and was hoping for higher still frame rate in raw.
Cycle AF Area mode is added in this update
I was really hoping they would add raw into the precapture
Where is the awaited pixelshift functionality I was waiting for?
probably fw 5.2 or something (total guess)
The Skin smoothing feature sure has made you look so much younger Matt, hardly recognised you!!
Firmware 4.10 was a great step forward mainly for bird eye detect that has put the Z9 up with the best autofocus wise, its a great pity that the pre capture feature that nikon installed into their full frame cameras in advance of most others is now very much lagging behind most others due to its limited use in jpg only, I bet there are a lot of disappointed Z9 owners like myself that where anticipating the addition of the use of raw files here with firmware 5.0 maybe in the next update... although I have a feeling this will now be saved for the next generation of the Z9.
Very happy, I would still like to be able to transfer to SSD drive
Hi, the one thing I wanted, was the Z8s focus mode functionality on one button press. As I use both bodies, it is frustrating to have the upgrade to the Z8 and not Z9, or both. My muscle memory, gets confused. Let’s hope they realise that the more the function buttons match, with focus modes help with second body choice. Thanks TonyH
Hi Matt, I acted too quickly, having downloaded, I now see my focus button! Silly me
Disappointing no pixel shift!
this firmware is worthy of the name 4.11)))
Hey Nikon can you give us that PASM mode being independent between photo and video to the z6ii please? I think the processors of that camera can handle it. Thank you.
Hi! What means "Added [DX (24×16)] to image area options"? DX area was there from the beginning. Has anything changed?
Hi Matt, are you sure Z9 now has 4 separate memory banks for stills and 4 separate memory banks for video? In my opinion there are still just 4 banks used for both stills and video, but now each bank can store separately just shooting mode (P, A, S or M) in addition to exposure parameters for stills and video. All other settings are shared between stills and video.
Thank you Matt! I've updated the firmware in the Z9 (5.00) and the Profoto A10 (C1). I can't this new AF Assist to work. If any of you get it to work I'd be grateful to know how.
Have you updated flash firmware?
@@MattIrwinPhotographyYes, to C1
@@anthonycollins1284 I am not sure from here unfortunately, as i don't own that flash. Perhaps Profoto could provide some assistance :)
From Profoto: "The Z9 must be in AF-S mode." I tested it this morning and it works.
wow. so there are differences vz the Z8. Getting so much that keeping tabs on is hard !
This firmware update is baffling! Its full of minor quality of use improvements that most users won’t care about and none of the big rumoured improvements that we all hoped for….And even worse is that this update didn’t include the same updated features in the recent Z8 update!!! (Pixel-shifting etc). WTF. So now the Z8 has more features than the more expensive flagship Z9???!!
I have been waiting personally for Nikon to pull their finger out and add open-gate recording and external SSD recording options…Both are offered by much cheaper cameras and both are important for film work to be taken seriously with these cameras.
I don’t know if Nikon are even listening to their clients and or this latest dumbed down Firmware update to the Z9 has something to with the Red acquisition but I’m sure there are many users like me that are just getting fedup with Nikon’s weird choices of features.
Nikon, with all of the talk about video-centric features, please introduce video backup to the second card slot.
Disappointed we didn't get pixel shift.
must have something to do with the hardware on the VR in-body, my guess
@@paintspirationsunlimited same hardware as the Z8, and the Z8 has it.
@@jwleemedia z8 came out later which in a sense brings a new design into things. The hardware could be different which the firmware could not support pixel shifting.
Sad to not see pixel shift
Please show me on a Nikon Z9 with firmware 5.0 how I can switch the custom menu banks for photo and video independently. This doesn't work on my Z9 with firmware 5.0 and there is absolutely nothing to be found about it in the release note or in the addendum to firmware 5.0... (Google Translate: German English)
So, you mention C15 'slowing it down'? Isn't is just abbreviating the number captured?
Rumored Log-C’ish profile for N-RAW not in it😔 Highlight roll off in serious need of love.
Still no additional aspect ratios! The z7ii has more options than the Z9???
I’d really like to put in votes for 1:3, 4:3 and 4:5. Especially 4:3...
And, why can’t we get zebras in the EVF before the shot is taken when clipping highlights like I get in video mode?
I'd use the heck out of zebra strips indicating over exposure. Sometimes I care; sometimes I don't. It would be awesome to see the overexposed areas before taking the photo. Pre-chimping photos with an EVF.
The Z9 gets even better ...🦘
Do you think there will be firmware update for the ZF
What happened to pixel-shift? The Z8 has it but the flagship Z9 does not? Still?
Just a thought: Most of us realize that it's possible to get great images from older cameras and that just about every camera manufacturer has a camera on the market capable of capturing wonderful images. But Nikon has gone above and beyond other camera manufacturers with their ongoing firmware updates of already wonderful cameras. Well done, Nikon! It also has me wondering if we can call this "firmware updating" to be a corporate philosophy, AND would this firmware updating philosophy translate to upcoming Red cine camera offerings? I expect that Red camera equipment buyers, at say $30,000 (U.S.) for a camera body, would love to know that their purchase is capable of being an even better purchase as it receives these firmware tweaks.
The functions and operation of the Z9 and Z8 must be IDENTICAL!!!
PLEASE Nikon makes a synchronisation of the firmware to the same level. - The strength of Nikon lies in the standardised operation. The Z8 is also the backup camera for many professional photographers.
Hi Matt, no pixel shift for the Z9. It is strange. Maybe in the future.
Yeah this is what I was hoping for also. No HEIF either. They're borrowing Canon's cripple hammer.
I would think so, and hope so. :)
It's also possible that the IBIS system just isn't capable of pixel shift, which would be rather unfortunate.
I mean anything is possible but that seems like a pretty disappointing miss
@@1armbiker
Lots of comments on Facebook about this not being really representing a full update to version 5. They are probably right, but we I think we should focus on how this camera has continued to get better since its launch.
Hi Andrew, I must say I am rather confused. Nikon makes no statements about future FW updates. People buy the camera that exists today. And thus how can they complain or be disappointed about something missing which never was promised? Yes there have been rumours. They are rumours and should be taken for what they are, unsubstantiated without any reference to timing. We as users are getting free updates. Some are larger some are smaller. They cost nothing and improve our experience.
I have the Z9 and this is the first firmware update that I haven’t been too bothered by. Had my camera since fw 1.0, so updating is like falling off a log, lemon-squeezey. I am a little disappointed that we didn’t get pixel-shift shooting. Bit incongruous that it’s in the Z8 and not in the Z9. The Z8 is marketed as the baby Z9. It doesn’t seem right that the flagship doesn’t have pixel-shift? It must be an oversight. Perhaps it’s coming in firmware v6.0, after all it’s just a case of porting it over from its little brother. Right?
I would be deeply surprised if pixel shift does not come to z9.
R1 and r5 ii better be mega .. or I’m going to switch I think 🤔
My Z6 II feels forgotten
I was hoping for pixel shift 😢
Where is 4k240p ... They keep putting "features" that nobody really NEEDS but not something that z9 definitely have the power to do - Pre Capture RAW even for 5-10 frames in photo and real slow mo for us bird videographers.
А где же 180Mp?
WHY NO PIXEL SHIFT ?????? :(
No pixel shift🤔
