Nikon released a new firmware updates for the Nikon Z50 and D780 cameras and new versions of Capture NX-D and ViewNX-i. Z Series cameras keep improving with each Nikon firmware update. Accordingly, in addition to the Nikon Z5 update, various bug fixes have been released for the D780.
Firmware is the embedded software that a device such as a digital camera uses to control certain hardware functionality. If your camera offers a firmware update it’s usually a good idea to take advantage of it.
