Nikon Announces Z 9 Firmware 5.10, Adobe Frame.io Support
17 December 2024
Nikon has announced the release of firmware version 5.10 for the Nikon Z 9 and the Nikon NX MobileAir app's support for Adobe's Frame.io, which will allow for improved filmmaking performance and video-sharing capabilities, the company said.
FIRMWARE
Highlights of firmware version 5.10 include:
- The addition of a new shutter mode allows you to set the shutter angle to one of 15 steps between 5.6° and 360°. This eliminates the need to select a shutter speed whenever the frame rate is adjusted, allowing users to always achieve optimal motion blur at the desired frame rate.
- You can change the color of the zebra pattern display, as well as customize the transparency and display positions of histograms and waveform monitor. That makes video recording easier by allowing you to detect appropriate exposure even when recording high-contrast scenes.
NX MOBILEAIR & FRAME.IO
Highlights of the new NX Mobile Air app include:
- NX MobileAir (Android) now supports Frame.io, Adobe's creative collaboration platform and its Camera to Cloud service. Development to add support to the iOS version of the app is currently underway, Nikon added.
- NX MobileAir allows you to manually or automatically upload recorded video files to Frame.io, allowing for easier real-time cloud collaboration. When selecting video files for upload, the files can now be filtered by rating and/or file format.
- Support for Frame.io provides more efficient workflow by seamlessly connecting the entire video production process, from recording to final delivery.
- Frame.io feature is compatible with the Nikon Z9, Z8 and Z6III via the NX MobileAir App.
