Happy Friday, folks. Outside of the significant firmware update for the Nikon Z8 (which has had some drama<\/a> since being available for download), it’s been relatively quiet on the firmware front. That said, there are some minor updates for Nikon, OM System, Fujifilm and Sigma cameras and lenses. Read on to see what’s new. <\/p>\n

Nikon<\/h2>\n

First and foremost, a PSA. The firmware update for the Nikon Z8<\/a> was officially made available for download at the beginning of July, but with it came some trouble. First, updating to the Z8 Ver 3.00 could result in functionality issues with Tamron lenses. Tamron says<\/a> it’s working on a solution, but there hasn’t been an update at the time of writing. You may want to hold off on updating your Z8 if you use Tamron lenses as a result. <\/p>\n

Perhaps more significant is that Nikon (and Viltrox) issued a warning not to update your camera’s firmware with third-party lenses or mount adapters. This warning was initially only on the Z8 firmware download page, but is now also on other recent firmware pages.<\/p>\n

Nikon hasn’t specified what could happen if you don’t listen to that advice other than saying it “could result in camera malfunction.” If you are updating to any of the firmware options below, please make sure to remove any third-party lenses and mount adapters. <\/p>\n

With that out of the way, here’s what’s new for Nikon cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
