I know there have been a few posts of videos by Will and his Monochrome Memoir channel. Well he just posted this video on the Z6 and Z7 firmware update. It is a good video and he added a couple setup recommendations on the FN.Buttons.

Thanks for posting, I still need to buy a darn card reader. My only annoyance with Z is needing a $100+ memory card and $50 reader just to do firmware updates.

I hear you Rick. The card reader is frustrating. I was hoping CFexpress would give some cost relief, but that's not happening either. If it is of any encouragement this update is worth the cost of the reader. It is a significant change in my opinion.

The reade might not be needed now. I had an exchange with someone who insisted that after 2.10, he was able to transfer the file into root, which was always off limits to the USB port.I never tried it after 1.0 would not allow it and invested in a XQD reader. The speed of transfers really varies with reader.My cheapie was $45 and does ok but borrowed a $120 reader and raw files flew off the camera, several times faster
