Nikon Issues New Verion of NX Studio Today with support for the Z8
Today, Nikon issues a big version update to their image editing software, NX Studio. This is a major update and fixed a number of issues. But the major change was it now supports processing of Nikon Z8 photos.
Again, I wish Nikon added a proper adjustment brush into NX Studio. The color point adjustment tool only allows local adjustments in the shape of a circle, pretty useless if you ask me!
More details and the link to the download page:
• Added support for the Z 8.
Added support for NEF (HLG) and HEIF photos created on a camera.
Added [Skin softening] and [Portrait impression balance] tools under [Portrait Enhancements] in the [Adjustments] tab; in addition, values for these settings can now be viewed under [File & Camera Information] in the [Info] tab.
Added [HEIF (HLG)] and [HEIF (PQ)] options for [Export as].
Entries for [Categories] in the [XMP/IPTC] tab can now be up to 256 characters long.
Made the point icons for [Color Control Point] easier to click.
Fixed the following issues:
- Errors would sometimes occur when pictures were printed with [Outside Bottom Right] selected for [User Comment] > [Position].
- NEF (RAW) pictures exported from ViewNX 2 after editing would sometimes be distorted.
- Profiles for pictures exported in NEF (RAW) format would sometimes not contain the expected information.
- Using keyboard controls to label pictures after zooming in would prevent the arrow keys being used for selecting pictures.
- Selecting [Delete original files after transfer] in Nikon Transfer 2 would sometimes result in transfer being interrupted.

I was not familiar with Condor Airlines so I did a bit of research. Condor was founded in 1956 in Germany. According to it’s website, it’s Germany’s “most popular leisure airline”. The unique strips livery was introduced in 2022 to “Introduce a new brand identity: Inspired by parasols, bath towels and beach chairs, Condor now wears stripes in five colors. This illustrates the development from a leisure airline to a unique and unmistakable vacation brand.” The green and white livery in the photo I captured is their Island color theme.
Today, Nikon issues a firmware update for the Nikkor Z 180-600mm lens with the following changes: Fixed an issue that focus may be inaccurate at a focus distance of infinity with a focal length around 400mm to 600mm in a low temperature environment.
Nikon removes all website and social media references from all Nikon USA ambassador pages.
Combining the features in Capture One Pro, Capture One Enterprise along with some new features, Capture one has bundled these into a new product, Capture One Studio.
Nikon realizes that their current crop of ambassadors are too old to resonate with younger photographers, their new target market, so they retain young “Nikon Creator partners” to solve the problem
Changed the default values for the following settings displayed when connecting wirelessly:
- Encryption keys
- The password displayed after the camera's default settings are restored
• Fixed the following issues:
- Green color casting occurred with some pictures taken.
- The date and time set in camera sometimes would not be correctly applied.
- Using [Picture review] to view an image in a “tall” (portrait) orientation and zooming in the image prevented the display from being scrolled to the intended direction with multi selector or sub-selector.
- After a firmware update, the eye sensor sometimes would not function and the viewfinder would not turn on.
- The “i” menu would sometimes remain in the viewfinder when it was looked through after the shutter-release button was pressed halfway to exit the “i” menu viewed in the monitor.
