Nikon Updates Z6 III Firmware
27 August 2025
Nikon has released firmware version 2 for the Nikon Z6 III, introducing several features found in the company's most advanced models, the Nikon Z9 and Z8.
Additionally, for the first time for a Nikon product, the Z6 III will support the Nikon Authenticity Service, a solution aimed at media organizations and creators who require a high level of trustworthiness in their work. The service is compatible with the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity standard, clearly recording provenance information from shooting through to editing to ensure greater transparency and reliability of content.
KEY FEATURES
The key features in Firmware Version 2 include:
Improved Subject Detection with Dedicated [Birds] Mode
- A dedicated [Birds] mode has been added to the Z6 III's subject-detection options.
- When [Birds] mode is selected, the camera automatically tracks birds in flight with great precision, keeping them in focus even against complex, high-contrast backgrounds.
C2PA Compliance with Image Provenance Function
- An image provenance function that supports confirmation of image authenticity to protect individuals and enterprises in from any unfavorable results caused by falsification and/or image manipulation.
- Includes an image provenance function that complies with the C2PA standard and is part of the Nikon Authenticity Service.
- By making a prior request through Nikon Imaging Cloud, users can load the digital certificate necessary for recording provenance data onto the Z6 III.
Auto Capture Function Expands Shooting Possibilities
- Enables automatic shooting with pre-configured conditions.
- Allows users to specify the subject type, direction of movement and shooting distance range to capture previously difficult scenes, such as those that require shooting in places or positions where photographers would disturb their subject.
