Nikon released some firmware recently. This is in addition to the Nikon Z5, a new lens, and two Z-mount teleconverters. While the Z6 and Z7 got some improvements, it is the Z50 that has the spotlight as it got a new feature-Animal Detection AF.
The crop-sensor is generally well-reviewed, the APS-C mirrorless camera is no longer in the spotlight as manufacturers are constantly releasing full-frame mirrorless cameras. Since it has a Firmware Version 2.0, the Nikon Z50 has Animal Detection(Face and Eye), improved subject tracking that mirrors the 3D tracking mode in Nikon’s DSLRs, support for the newly announced TC-1.4x and TC-2x teleconverters. It also has a few more updates but the main improvement is the Animal Detection AF. Watch the demo below:
Going with the release notes, the Animal Detection will appear under Custom Setting a2(Auto-area AF face/eye detection), and will automatically turn on when the camera is set to Pet Portrait mode.
Head over to the Nikon support website to download Firmware Version 2.0 for Nikon or to read up on the full release notes.
