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.

The Tycho Crater on the Moon as seen by the Super telephoto Nikon COOLPIX P1100 at 3,000mm
The Tycho Crater on the Moon as seen by the Super telephoto Nikon COOLPIX P1100 at 3,000mm

October 7th was the annual harvest moon. Where I was located, the atmosphere was very clear so I thought I would take out the Nikon COOLPIX P1100 and see what I could capture. This image has not been cropped and the P1100 was fully racked out at 3000mm. It was run through Topaz with noise reduction and minor sharpening.

Using his Nikon Z9, photographer Prasenjeet Yadav gets the October 2025 cover shot for National Geographic Magazine.

From Nat Geo: “Prasenjeet Yadav had one goal: capture the perfect image of a pseudo-melanistic tiger for his story on India’s Similipal Tiger Reserve. Easier said than done.” Well maybe easier said than done with another camera, but not if you have the Nikon Z9.

Today, Nikon removes the COOLPIX P1000 from their lineup

I find it really strange that Dpreview has the Nikon P1000 listed on their current MOST POPULAR CAMERAS list which is based on cameras that are frequently mentioned, discussed, or purchased by their readership, indicating high interest or demand from photographers. If the P1000 has been replaced, why isn’t the COOLPIX P1100 being mentioned more due to the fact that it is the newer replacement model.

With a release date of October 2020, the Z7II offers plenty of opportunity for updates and changes, much of which are overdue. Just like the Z6III, I think similar changes could be made to the Z7II to bring it up to date with the release of the Z7III. Here is what I think could the specs of a refreshed Nikon Z7II could be.

Considering what has happened recently, I thought I would share a few of my photos of Charlie Kirk. Back in 2020, I was retained to provide photography coverage at a Turing Point USA event. These are a few of the photos from that event. This post is in no way endorsing or being critical of certain political views. It is only to share photos from a photography event assignment.
