First Z9 Firmware Update

Nikon today dropped the first firmware update for the Z9. The primary changes for version 1.10 are:

  • Increased buffer at 20 fps for images taken with both NEF (High Efficiency*)+JPEG and JPEG+JPEG photography. 
  • Made Filtered playback criteria options into multi-selector toggles instead of requiring check marks.

An issue involving SB-5000 flash not firing was also fixed.

Note that the Filtered playback criteria change is part of my firmware wish list (#11), but there still are plenty of other menu options that need the same change.
