Nikon updates firmware on Nikon ZR cinema camera

Nikon Inc. announced the first firmware update for the recently released Nikon ZR full-frame cinema camera. Version 1.10 adds a range of functional enhancements and supports timecode input via a wired connection, making it easier to synchronize with audio recording devices and other cameras. The update also extends the maximum recording time, making continuous shooting possible even for long recording sessions. In addition, a file-naming convention similar to that of RED cameras has been adopted, enabling more efficient data management. Many features that enhance usability have also been added, including a function that displays a warning line indicating the maximum brightness level in the brightness information display (histogram and waveform monitor) when recording R3D NE videos in Log3G10, as well as a setting to prevent unintentional battery drain. Starting today, ZR owners can visit the Nikon download center to get the new firmware for free.
