Today, Nikon launches new version of NX Studio with support for the Nikon Zf and pixel shift technology.
Today, Nikon launched the latest version of NX Studio with support for the new Nikon Zf, pixel shift shooting, and bug fixes. The changes are as follows for version 1.5.0:
• Added support for photos taken and videos recorded by the Z f.
• Series of pictures taken using pixel shift shooting on the Z f can now be merged on NX Studio. Note: Merged pixel shift files will have an extension “*.NEFX” when saved.
Added [Rich Tone Portrait], [Deep Tone Monochrome], and [Flat Monochrome] picture controls.
Custom Picture Controls can now be created, imported, and exported, applying the function of the Picture Control Utility 2.
Fixed the following issues:
- The effect of D-Lighting HS would be reduced with images exported after adjustment was made with [D-Lighting HS].
- If a RAW picture was saved after XMP/IPTC presets including labels and ratings were added and auto white balance adjustment was made, the adjustment made was not applied.
- When transferring a series of pictures shot using burst photography using Nikon Transfer 2 via a card reader, not all pictures would not be transferred.
- The audio on videos output using the Movie Editor function would stop during playback.
- If texts were added to photos and video clips to make a video using the Movie Editor function, the preview on the [Text Settings] dialog would be slow due to overloading.
- If the focus point on the bottom toolbar was selected, the image would not show correctly in the image viewer with a state of “Processing”.
NX Studio software offers a full-fledged suite of intuitive tools for viewing, processing, and editing photos and videos. It combines the photo-and-video-viewing features of ViewNX-i with the photo-processing and retouch tools of Capture NX-D in a single, comprehensive workflow. Not only can it be used to process RAW pictures, but its editing tools—including tone curves and brightness and contrast adjustment—can also be applied to JPEG/TIFF images. It also offers a variety of features for such tasks as editing XMP/IPTC data, managing presets, and uploading pictures to the Web.

How to see only the cropped part of photos in the Capture One browser. In Capture One, with default settings, you see the whole un-cropped photo when using the Browser to view your images in a folder. The part of the image outside of the cropped area is a little dimmer than the part of the image included in the cropped photo.
It was a clear morning in Boise Idaho, perfect weather to observe the recent blue moon.
Normally, I would use the Nikon COOLPIX P950 camera but at the last minute, chose to use one of my full frame Nikon's instead.
Originally, I was going to use the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR lens but to keep the weight as low as possible, I store that lens without the tripod collar. I learned without the collar, there is no tripod mount on the lens body and since the moon would be setting soon, I didn’t have the time to mount the collar in time.
So, I ended up using the Nikkor Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S lens instead. I mounted the lens to the Z7II along with the Z TELECONVERTER TC-1.4x on my new Manfrotto Be Free Advance tripod along with up scaling with Topaz Photo AI created the resulting image.
Overall, I’m pleased with the results. Stay tune for reviews of all the mentioned equipment.
