Nikon just released new firmware updates for the Z50, Z5, Z6, Z7 mirrorless cameras, most important for me:
- Improved eye detection performance for Auto-area AF and Wide-area AF (L) !!!
- Increased the refresh rate for the focus point displayed during face/eye-detection and subject-tracking AF.
- Improved face/eye detection performance and the visibility of subjects in pictures taken using an optional flash unit.
This morning I quickly installed this firmware 3.40 on my Nikon Z6 and did a quick small test.
First impression with my setting when I want to follow or lock focus:
AF selector to "Auto-area AF" with AF-C and the AF activation (A7) to on, the "lock on" and hold the point seems improved to me.
I am curious about all your findings.

I do need all these American YouTube guys to stop saying "zed" though.
First practice shots with the new update and my new 85mm 1.8S
This is a massive improvement to the Z6 that greatly helps with the type of photography I do.
Indeed a massive improvement to the Z6, AF is faster.
