NIKON RELEASES VER. 1.3.0 OF THE NX FIELD REMOTE SHOOTING SYSTEM FOR PROFESSIONAL AGENCIES

Nikon is pleased to announce the release of NX Field Ver. 1.3.0, the latest version of its remote shooting system for professional agencies. This update adds support for video recording using the Z 9 full-frame/FX-format mirrorless camera.

With Ver. 1.3.0, a tablet can be used during Z 9 video recording to check the live view displays of multiple cameras connected to NX Field at the same time, configure camera settings and perform operations such as starting and stopping video recording on a single screen. NX Field Ver. 1.3.0 also displays the view from multiple cameras connected to NX Field in main/secondary view, making it easy to perform precise operations such as focusing and focus point selection with video recording. The ability to control and check video recording by multiple cameras via a single tablet makes for a more efficient video workflow than was possible with conventional multi-camera recording by a single photo-/videographer or small crew.

In addition, support for the Z 9 includes new functions that allow the primary camera at hand to take over the control of remote cameras from the current primary camera, and to display the status of remote camera connection and that of the connection between remote cameras and FTP server in its viewfinder and live view display for increased usability. Fast and highly secure FTPS is also supported. The types of images that can be uploaded have been increased to enable selection of “JPEG” or “NEF (RAW) + JPEG” in accordance with network conditions.

Nikon will continue to provide updates for NX Field to support professional photographers and imaging creators who are active on the front lines of reporting and capturing decisive moments.
