Nikon Z5 II vs Z5
Just a week after the Z6 II and Z7 II received the same feature, Nikon has now released a firmware update for the Z5 (recently replaced by the Z5 II / Compare Here), adding Power Zoom lens control support (for Z 28-135mm f4 PZ and the Z 12-28mm F3.5-5.6 PZ).
Full details of the update and the download link are provided below.
Firmware Changes and Improvements
- 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 5 cameras sold in the Middle East.
- Fixed the following issues:
- When an SB-500 flash unit was mounted, changing from spot metering to another metering mode did not change the i-TTL flash control from standard i-TTL fill-flash to i-TTL balanced fill-flash.
- Viewing other pictures in playback zoom display would fail after zooming out a “tall” picture with a pinch gesture.
