Nikon Z50 and Zfc Minor Firmware Updates and Nikon Software Updates

Over the past couple of days Nikon released some minor firmware updates for the Z50 and the Zfc, together with minor software updates to NX Studio and Wireless Transmitter Utility (WTU).

The firmware can be downloaded from their respective official links here:

Zfc download page

Similarly, the software updates can be downloaded here:
NX Studio
Wireless Transmitter Utility

The minor updates for the cameras and software are small bug fixes as well as adding support to the Z5II.

However, one particular thing to take note about the new NX Studio is that it now requires logging into a Nikon account in order to use it. I am not sure how the repercussions would be with air-gapped PCs, so it might be a good time to make sure that you keep a copy of NX Studio 1.8.0 (the previous version) which does not require signing in. The official direct download page is here - this link will be archived once the next version comes out so do act fast if you need it.

As for the WTU, even with this update I still cannot get it to work properly (will write a separate post on this), so unless they do a major overhaul on the underlying code and protocols, I cannot recommend it as a reliable way to beam photos to your PC.
