Interesting that the only firmware updates Nikon are providing now appears to be for the Z cameras! They seem to have no interest in DSLR camera support any more. I am still waiting for the D7200 update to allow full use of AFP Lenses! I have been waiting for the update for several years now, but have given up!!

Since the original post we now have an actual update for the Z5 also...

Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.20 to 1.21

  • • Fixed an issue that in rare circumstances resulted in vibration reduction failing to function after the firmware was upgraded to version 1.20.

How would I even confirm if VR has been working on my Z5? I had to upgrade to 1.20 on the first day to allow my FTZ-II adapter to work. Yes that is the only change line for the new firmware. No new features for us with the economy body.

  • • The behavior of autofocus during memory recall has been improved to ensure that the focus position will not change in any focus mode even if the shutter-release button is pressed halfway while focus recall is in progress.
  • • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the camera to stop responding when [Auto] was selected for [Set Picture Control] in the [PHOTO SHOOTING MENU].
