NIKON RELEASES FIRMWARE VERSION 3.2 FOR NIKON Z 7 AND Z 6

Greater flexibility in video with support for Blackmagic RAW video output, and expanded capability for ProRes RAW

SINGAPORE – Nikon Singapore Pte. Ltd is pleased to announce that external recorders manufactured by Blackmagic Design[1] have been added to the products supported with the RAW video output[2,3] for the Nikon Z 7 and Z 6 mirrorless cameras. This enables the recording of high-quality video shot with the Z 7 or Z 6 in not only ProRes RAW, but Blackmagic RAW as well.

With the new firmware update, the ProRes RAW videos recorded via the Atomos Ninja V will now also support ISO and colour temperature adjustments added to Apple Final Cut Pro version 10.4.9 or later for greater flexibility and convenience in post-production.

Firmware ver. 3.2 is now available at the Nikon Download Centre:

Operation is not guaranteed with recorders other than those noted above. (as of December 2020)

[2] The RAW video output function can be enabled by a Nikon-authorised service centre for a fee. For the Z 6 or Z 7 that has already been serviced for the RAW video output upgrade, support for RAW video output to a Blackmagic Design external recorder can be added by simply updating the firmware to Ver. 3.2.

[3] With the Z 7, RAW video output is possible only with Full HD videos recorded in the FX-based video format and 4K UHD videos recorded in the DX-based video format. With the Z 6, 4K UHD and Full HD RAW video output is possible with both FX- and DX-based movie formats.
