Nikon Days: Benefits of the Z 9 | What makes it a Nikon flagship camera?
If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).
Nikon's 3D tracking has always incorporated color and patterns to help with tracking movement and separating the subject from the background. But the underlying AF technology being used to focus the lens remains hybrid phase detect/contrast detect.These 2 blokes attended an on-site Z9 presentation gathering & they were told by the presenter that the Z9 AF system (3D tracking in particular) does not use contrast detect system but tracks subjects based on colour profiles/colour patterns.
Any idea how A1 & R5/R3 goes about it?
B&H only says “Coming Soon”
"Remember that there are two tasks here: selecting what to focus on, and focusing on it."
In 3D tracking, the shooter manually decides what to focus on doesn't he/she? Remember I am talking about 3 D tracking alone & not 3D tracking with subject detection switched on.
Then once any random thing is selected, you are saying that the AF uses colour profiles to identify it...
Well, if we are manually selecting a random subject why does it need a colour profile recognition to identify it if it is not going to use colour profiling to track it.
Then you opine that the actual tracking from here on depends on phase detect & contrast detect & that using colour to track is not something you have never heard off before...
I have no clue about that. It will be nice to hear about such things from a Nikon technician.
Thanks, going to try now. Also, why on Earth did they ever put that tripod mount on the FTZ. The new adapter is much sleeker.pretty sure you proceed as if it were a body update, but then when you get to the firmware update page, you select the correct item to update (which reminds me to update my 70-200s)
My Z7ii says the FTZ adapter needs an update. Can't use the camera with it, how do I upgrade the firmware to the FTZii?!?

I am so lost. The z7ii only has one firmware update and my camera is up to date. Cannot find any info online.I've seen reports on NikonRumours that this is when the *camera* firmware is out of date - such that it doesn't even understand the FTZ II. Make sure your camera has the latest version.

That is... wrong? The Z7 II had five firmware updates, 1.01, 1.10, 1.20, 1.21 and finally 1.30?I am so lost. The z7ii only has one firmware update and my camera is up to date. Cannot find any info online.

Does not work. That is for FTZ one, the FTZ 2 does not appear to have a firmware file I can download. When I try to use the FTZ one it just prompts me to delete the file.Click here:
Go to firmware and download the file on your computer. It's a compressed archive, you'll have to open the archive on your computer and get the ".bin" file inside. Put that at the top level of a media card, put into the camera. Go to the firmware page. Select "update". It should prompt you if you want to update the ftz.
Also, when you are at the firmware page in the camera, it will tell you what version is currently installed. The FTZ is "MA". The current version is 1.10. So if it says "MA 1.10", you are up to date and don't have to do anything.
AH, bless you. That's my problem, didn't see the z7ii was not up to date. Thanks, save me so much headache.That is... wrong? The Z7 II had five firmware updates, 1.01, 1.10, 1.20, 1.21 and finally 1.30?
See here, and make sure you run 1.30:
Changes from “C” Firmware Version 1.21 to 1.30
- • Added support for:
- - FTZ II mount adapters, and
- - NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S lenses.
My Z7ii says the FTZ adapter needs an update. Can't use the camera with it, how do I upgrade the firmware to the FTZii?!?
Yes, everything working great. Thank you.I see you have it sorted now. Yes - the camera firmware must be up to date first to support the FTZ II.
Firmware updates for the FTZ are the same as camera and lens updates. The difference is the FTZ must be mounted on the camera to have the firmware version shown and proceed with the update. Lens updates work the same way - the lens must be mounted. But the only update for the FTZ was for the original version.
