Nikon Z8 Firmware 2.0 | HERE NOW🚀Bird AF | Pixel Shift | Nikon's FANTASTIC FW Strategy | Matt Irwin

[@WaterfallJoe]

I gotta say as a Nikon shooter, I feel like Nikon is really taking care of us. Nikon continues to deliver spectacular updates, all for free!

[@natedagreat90]

Except for z6ii users feel bad for them not one major firmware update since launch despite 2 processors.

​@@natedagreat90I just bought a Z6II. I hope they support it more. 1.60 is the last one, and it seems like a good update.

This is a huge relief. The Z8 was a large expense for me, and knowing it will continue to be upgraded is reassuring.

Out of the park. Love my Z8 and now will be supercharged. A+++For Nikon and this is excellent to hear the photographers who, in the end will use this excellent upscalable product until the hardware permits it. Again 💪💪💪💪💪 for Nikon,you are the best!!!

[@Thorset1]

Today my Z8 will arrive at home. I’m so exited to unbox my new camera. And the first thing after charging the battery is to install the new firmware. Next weekend, I will start a few photo projects in my beautiful home area in the south-west of Germany. Thank you Matt for the exiting news in this video. Best Regards, Thorsten.

[@KevinArmstrongxso]

This was more than expected! Thanks. As a user of Nikon and Sony top cameras, I just love how Nikon has released these major improvements in such a short period of time. Sony however just refuses to give its users (especially a1 users) minor improvements. That is why I’m looking to part ways with Sony. Sony can learn a great deal from Nikon in this area.

[@JC_Hebert_artiste-photographe]

Yes I own a Z8 and am excited. Cannot wait to try the bird tracking

I just received an email from Nikon Canada about the firmware update. Awesome news.

More than I expected ❤

[@FrancescoBorsotti]

Believe it or not, yesterday I was thinking about "when will I see a new FW update for my Z8?".... I woke up this morning and there it is. Superb! And I was not expecting the Pixel Shift as in my new Zf. I'm so glad I kept on trusting Nikon!

[@ninepinezine]

Great that Nikon have delivered this in Windows as an unzipped .BIN file. Much more straightforward to apply and better for other OS such as Linux.

[@ThePinoyAggie]

As a Nikon Z user (Z6ii, Z7ii, and Z8), thank you very much Nikon!

[@natedagreat90]

Z6ii hasn't had one major update since launch pretty sad

[@ThePinoyAggie]

@@natedagreat90 Yep, figured that one out because of the Xspeed 6's limitations. That's why I got the Z8 and my Z7ii is now just a backup landscape camera and my Z6ii was converted to full-spectrum for Astro and infrared photography.

[@natedagreat90]

@ThePinoyAggie you would think that there would be at least one major firmware update considering the 2 processors like making the tracking box smaller or improving the af algorithm algorithms don't require any extra hardware capabilities just like I don't need to update my brain to learn new things who knows maybe firmware 2.0 is in the works

[@christophmuller3511]

@@natedagreat90Communication between the two processors is likely a big bottleneck making AF improvements infeasible.

I am anxiously awaiting the next Z9 firmware update!

Looking forward to these features creeping up into the Z9.. Nikon camera as a platform is the thing. Z8 as a remote is now a consideration for me with auto capture, I was never comfortable leaving Z9's out on the range..

[@Mister_M3780]

I have got my Z8 since the end of May now, and I'm really happy to see that there is such a huge update. Especially since I own a Z 180-600 for 2 weeks now. The only drawback is still that my portable studio flashes don't work in HSS with the Z8 anymore. But I am on a business trip at the moment, so I couldn't test the flashes with the new firmware. But I don't have high hopes that they will work flawlessly now. Thank you for your great video, Matt!

Fantastic rundown of this fantastic firmware update, Matt! I can't wait to try in out tomorrow with some stills and video. I know we have most of this with the Z9 and Zf ... but it's so great to have it in the Z8, which has become my most-used camera overall.

[@robroyig-robroyphotography9225]

Hey Matt, another great video! Have my Z8 updated already, and it is just great! being a Landscape first, then wildlife, they answered 2 "wish list" items off the bat with exposure delay, which I really liked on my Z7ii in doing tripod landscape shots, and then bird detect, which is better than the "auto" detect subject detection. This was a giant WIN for Nikon in my book, and I am really happy they are back either near the top or on top. For the nay sayers who were touting Nikon was going to go under...they are way behind, etc......stick this in your pipe and smoke it! :-). Again, great video Matt. Cheers

[@selectiveimagery]

Great as always Matt, Z8 users will be very happy with getting features from both the Z9 and Z8. Now everyone can start complaining about when the next major firmware upgrade for the Z9 will occur. Wish you well - Jeff

[@GarryM66]

I’m so happy about this and truly grateful to Nikon for looking after their customers. I was going to buy another Z9 as a backup but now most definitely going to get a Z8 and save money to put towards glass. Itching to get my hands on the 35mm 1.2 when and if it arrives 😍

[@johnhjic2]

Hello Matt, SO GOOD TO hear about this amazing update to a great camera. Well done to Nikon for both a great System in the Z system and giving us all such a great update.

[@HellBatDC]

The bird mode is appreciated and the pixel shift addition is shocking. I didn't think the hardware was capable. It looks like Nikon designed for it and just had to wait for the software to catch up. I'm looking forward to taking some 180 megapixel landscapes this summer.

[@michaeldreese4979]

I love the firmware update, the bird subject detection mode and the new cycle AF mode feature are game changers. Now if we can just get RAW pre capture it will be a perfect camera for my needs.

[@photographydiscourse1185]

Hi Matt - you said it. The Z8 was already the best hybrid camera on the market and for significantly less than the competition, and now it. iseven better. It is so much more well rounded than anbything out there competing head to head with cameras that are literally $6500 - more than $2500 more than the Z8. And of course the Z8 has the universal Z mount making its lens options the widest in the business. Indeed, it does seem that "The Camera Wars" are over, and Nikon looks to be standing at the top of the hill. Yes tech will flip flop between the brands - but unless Sony or Canon start over with a new mount Nikon is poised to stay at. the top - guess this was there plan from the introduction of the Z mount - "the mount for the next 100 years". They always knew what they were doing and now the world does too. -PD

[@rameshjn]

Exciting updates. Just updated mine.

[@MattIrwinPhotography]

Yep it is a big deal :)

[@bryantagilbert]

Fantastic news - many thanks

[@MattIrwinPhotography]

Thank you too!

[@clark7894]

Very happy with the update! Lovin' my Z8 even more now. It almost feels like a Z8ii. Glad they added Exposure Delay Mode. I use it for my landscape photography when using a tripod.

[@MattIrwinPhotography]

Totally agree!

[@Flamamacue]

The Z8 was overkill for my needs and the specs of the Zf were basically all I wanted for upgrading/adding to my Z6ii kit, but FW 2.0 for the Z8 does intrigue me towards the Z8. I really appreciate the accelerated speed of FW updates and how much they have been adding in the past. Probably waiting to see the potential Z6iii before getting anything but great to see the Z8 growing

[@CutshallcapturesPhotography]

I recently purchased the z88. And I think that camera is absolutely amazing I have the d5600 and the z6. And I'm letting my friends use the Z6 and the d5600 to get into photography. The fact they brought these amazing features to the Z8 definitely does increase the value of the camera. I've even used pixel shift a few times and it's amazing results

[@davewalker5706]

Great news, from the comments I've seen there are no issues so I'll do my Z8 later, some really cool stuff there I think I'll use. One thing I would like to be able to do (and really don't understand why I can't) is to output in-camera multiple exposures in RAW. Used to love doing this, you never really knew what you were going to get but I produced some great stuff this way. After all, my 17yr old D200 has always been able to do this.

[@craigmackenzie3564]

I have just bought a Z8 and love it coming from a D810

[@SwanSycorax]

Brilliant stuff Matt. Yes, really love the way Nikon is putting the Z8 & Z9 at the forefront and keeping them there with these firmware updates. The one feature I really wish they would include is the ability to use Pre-Capture with RAW, not just JPEGs. Olympus are doing this, I understand, with their ProCapture on the OM-1 Mk1 & II. I would rather have Nikon Pre-Capture with RAW at 30fps than 120fps JPEGs.

[@revddf]

I just completed all of Nikon School UK's courses on mastering the Z8 and its autofocus with Ricci Chera and now this happens! I'm not complaining, I'm thrilled, but trying to remember everything the camera can do so that I can invoke a helpful technology for a particular shot is going to be quite demanding! If only there were some way (maybe an AI phone app?) of stating what you want to achieve and it coming up with suggestions.

[@MattIrwinPhotography]

Great idea David :)

[@Brian-xo3mk]

Hi Matt, right now I am so excited, as I do own a Z8, I have been waiting for this new firmware update since auto capture & bird icon was released to the Z9's version 4.0 update. Yes, I do shoot wildlife and this is a huge big deal for me, as I am waiting to plan my next African Safari for 2025. I am also waiting on my Burnt Orange ZF camera to arrive. I am a huge fan of your channel and you have definitely had a major influence on my Nikon purchases and future choices. Thanks for all the hard work that you so diligently put in for us to enjoy and chew on. 👍👋😊😊

[@MattIrwinPhotography]

Thanks Brian, a pleasure, and that means a lot to me :) Where are you heading in Africa, and which are your current lens choices for the trip?

[@Brian-xo3mk]

Hi Matt, I went on my first Safari to South Africa in 2014, to Kapama Private Game Reserve, in a place called Hoedspruit. This was absolutely brilliant, but I wasn't a wildlife photographer enthusiast . I will probably be heading to Pangolin on the Chobe in Botswana. I have acquired the Nikon Z 70-200 VR S lens, Z 180- 600 F5.6/6.3 lens, 24- 70 F/2.8 lens and a 14-24mmF/2.8 lens. Wishfully thinking I would like the Z 135mm F/1.8 Plena or the Z85mm F/1.2 As you can see Matt, I'm an enthusiast who loves good glass especially when the end result is satisfactory, and you've helped me see that.@@MattIrwinPhotography

[@MattIrwinPhotography]

Amazing collection. Amazing adventures, you certainly have amazing tools, and I can see the Plena and 85 having a place in your kit. Very good for lowlight situations :) @@Brian-xo3mk

[@neil.dickinson]

A brilliant video, Matt, thank you, and I love your enthusiasm for all things Nikon. It's infectious. The only glaring ommision for me as a video shooter is shutter angle. I really hope this is top of their list on the video side in the next firmware update.

[@carlmcneill1139]

I bought my z8 at Christmas. Nikon had a one day sale going and the deal was just too good to pass up. I am excited about this update. I bought the 180-600mm lens last year and I've been using it a lot. I got my first picture of an owl and an otter on the same day with that lens on my z8. If I can get this firmware today's today I may go back to the wildlife refuge tomorrow and give it a try. 46 mp is enough for me. I don't know if I really need the pixel shift. I don't even know if my computer can handle a file that large.

[@michaelfaughn478]

As a Z8 owner I love the upgrade!

[@dominiclester3232]

Brilliant news, great video, thx! It’s very clever, for a couple of reasons, that the Z8 gets the upgrades first...Z8 owners were probably feeling left behind on updates and now they have several things Z9 users don’t, perfect. The other reason may be that any new cameras to be released are bound to have pixel-shift etc included and to have features that the Z9 doesn’t have will make their release seem particularly special! I’m pretty sure in time the Z9 will probably get everything. Exciting times.

[@francis664]

I upgrade now my z8 to 2.0, Im so exited about the new features

[@MichaelSeneschal]

This is very exciting for me. I just picked up a Z macro lens (the cheaper 50mm MC) and pixel shift for macro is super super super super super super super excitingly super! A few weeks ago I started building a little macro studio in the corner of my home office, and BOOM, now I have pixel shift?!?!?! This is exciting. Also, the improvements to Tether NX?!?!?! This is perfect. Coming from the Z6ii (ie., almost no updates), this is new territory for me. ❤❤📷📷

Super exited because recently got my z8 and now I got more features ti play with Would be nice if you make a video using this updates especially the pixel shit and the auto capture!!

[@mylucksmiles]

I love my z 8 at the great age of 70 the none battery grip works for me weight wise. I notice from the first photos the quality over my z 7.2 However the firm wear add on for the z 7.2 has placed it firmly back into my camera bag. I do meet the odd pro and interested to hear they are leaving their Sony membership for the Nikon . I am in England so having just purchased some new recording gear first up on you tube was firmware for z 8….. really once the whole package sinks in I will be able to really test my creativity and not I feel for the want of lacking in my work. Thanks for the work you put in.

[@Nick-13]

Thank you Nikon, yes thank you - that's all I need to say !!

[@yfranddu2837]

I love my Z8. This is a great firmware update I’d still like to see 1. Focus Shift, the ability to specify start and end position so the camera calculates the number of images based on step size 2. 30 and 60 fps RAW shooting 3. Image recognition and tracking for Insects. Wishful I know

[@duncanwallace7760]

I love he fact that Nikon is putting everything possible in these cameras without artificially holding stuff back for business reasons. I think it's a winning strategy as it respects the customers. The fact that the Z9 gets the newest stuff first is enough of a differentiator to make it worth getting, even if the Z8 will eventually get it as well. Brilliant stuff Nikon.

[@matthewclarke3094]

Thanks Matt. Great video. I bought a Z8 about 6 months ago. It’s a superb camera and this update looks as though it will transform it to awesome. I simply cannot wait to get my hands on it!

[@PerratheSwede]

I ordered one Z8 yesterday and will probably receive it next week. I've got my Z9 and am happy with it. But now when the Z8 has mostly the same specifications I decided to have one "spare" camera that is a little lighter than the Z9. It will be interesting to see if Z9 will get another major firmware upgrade.

[@kevins8575]

Good spin on this. Glad to see that Nikon finally has caught up to my three-year-old R5.

[@OMG-2]

ECSTATIC TO BE WRONG Not long ago on this channel I lamented what seemed to be a lack of updates for the Z8. while the Z9 press head with several updates, and the ZF did the same. As a Z8 owner I am super excited as you would say that all these great features have come to my camera. I actually started to wonder if I would sell it or trade it in for a new Z6 III because the Z8 seem to be forgotten. It now looks like those worries can be set aside.

[@wilteduk007]

Excellent update. If you could have a word with Nikon, Matt. Ask them for RAW pre capture and a temporary fps boost button (A9III). Thx for the video.

[@neil.dickinson]

Would love to see your pixel shift video!@@MattIrwinPhotography

[@chrissloanmedia]

Great to see some new improvements and features. The big miss for video was not adding shutter angle so you can lock your fps to a shutter angle. To many times I have quickly switched from 24 to 60 fps and for got to change the shutter from 48 to 120. Or to have the ability for go from a 180• angle to 270• or 135• to get a different effect without having to do math.

[@thorstenstraub2896]

Nikon!!! Don't forget the older cameras like a z7II....there must be potential in hardware for updating, come on Nikon!!

[@christophmuller3511]

Don’t expect anything AF related - the Expeed 6 processor has already seen massive improvements over time and most likely they did already everything they could. A lot of the processing is done in hardware and there’s only so much you can do with software - and no, having two processors doesn’t change the capabilities of the hardware pipeline. I don’t see however why pixel shift wouldn’t be possible.

[@jakilahmoulien9070]

These shutter sounds are so nice and crisp🥺

[@larsthufvesson9725]

Of course, it's difficult to say. But after this update to my beloved Z8, my 3rd party GPS stopped working. Any chance that this will be handled with a new firmware update?

[@SourceOfNature]

I got the Z8 less than a week ago. Was wondering a lot if I should do so or stick with my Z6 II, but went for it, besides the price. Just a few days after, I am getting an update, that brings so many amazing features. Things, that I saw in Z9 and wanted, but realized i won't get, because the Z9 is the flagship. And Nikon gives them to us for free. I was happy with my Z6 II but envied Canon and Sony users a bit. Even was thinking of switching, but stayed because I love the Z glass so much. And now I am so happy with my choice. Well done Nikon, really well done. You've made me an even happier customer and gave me some great bragging points over my Sony using friends. :)

[@MattIrwinPhotography]

Yep it certainly feels like Nikon are working very hard to bring great value to their cameras.

Wonderful new features!! Especially the bird AF!! Would love to see multiple exposures in RAW instead of Jpg. For several competitions you need to make them in camera. But it gives me so much less options in post production. I could do them in raw on my D850. Too bad not on my Z8. Hope Nikon listens!! 😊

[@MattIrwinPhotography]

TOTES FABNESS !!!!

[@ruthburke50]

Nikon is being SO smart. $4000 is an upper limit for many hobbiests - the large majority of us will not bump up to the Z9 prices. But it’s in Nikon’s best interest to boost the hardware available for the hobbiest because as we have more features, we love photography more, and buy more lenses. You’ll always have the business of the professional photographers. Nikon is doing a great job of giving the serious hobbiest the best tools … keeping photography alive by investing in the hardware for those who are NOT professionals.
