Z9 startup time after FW 5.0

[Kjellis]

After installing the latest firmware 5.0 for my Z9 the camera it takes every now and then it takes longer time to turn it on, about 3-5 seconds. This is often happening after I change lenses. Has someone elsa had this issue after the latest FW?

Nope, not seen it on both my cameras.

No, my Z9 starts up just as quickly as far as I can tell. I carry it turned “off” and turn “on” when lifting it to shoot. Never had to wait…

0 issue with that on mine. It might be slightly different (as in, if I did a full on test with high speed cameras and timers), but I haven't noticed a real world difference in start up time since v2.x (whatever I got mine on)

The only time there’s a brief delay on startup for my Z9 (and Z8 too) is when I’ve inserted a new (as in never been used) CFe card. After formatting it, startup is less than one second.

I have reloaded the FW 5.0, hope it fixes the issue. If not I'm crossing my fingers that Nikon will release another update that fixes the issue soon.

No issue with my used Z9 (which came with FW 5.0). Another option is to try loading the previous firmware to check if it resolves the issue for your camera.
