Not what I was hoping for. They have a bunch of bugs that need squashing. The wandering focus point is most annoying. The not closing shutter when changing lenses is biggest FU. I am pretty sure the alleged sensor cleaning on shutdown doesn’t happen. Etc.

According to DPReview and others, as well as Nikon Rumors, May 16 is the date for Nikon firmware update which is supposed to include Eye AF and improve low light focus capability to -6EV for the Z6 and -4EV for the Z7. According to NR website, Nikon confirmed May 16 was the date of the update.

Hopefully for everyone with a Z6/Z7, that is the case.

I came back here to whine that it hadn’t happened. Once here I see I have another day to wait.

Not expecting it to fix my issues anyway.

It is released!

Need to actually read and follow install instructions. Then no issue.

Now I'll have to figure out if it actually does anything.
