Optimized Aperture Control and AF Stability: "Refining the Perfection of the S-Line"
Nikon has officially released Firmware Version 1.20 for one of its most popular S-Line mirrorless lenses, the NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S.
This latest update focuses on enhancing the operational reliability of the lens based on professional user feedback. The key improvements include:
- Optimized Aperture Control: Fixed minor inconsistencies in aperture movement under specific shooting conditions to ensure higher exposure accuracy.
- Enhanced System Stability: Improved communication efficiency between the lens and the camera body to prevent intermittent software glitches during extended shooting sessions.
- AF Precision Fine-Tuning: Refined the drive algorithm during focus shifting to provide a smoother and more responsive shooting experience.
Nikon stated, "The 1.20 update is aimed at strengthening the fundamental performance of the lens. We are committed to providing a more reliable shooting environment for Z-series users." The update is available now via the Nikon Download Center and can be installed easily through the camera body.
▣ Editor’s Take
"The 24-120mm f/4 S is effectively the 'body cap' lens for many Nikon Z enthusiasts. While this update doesn't introduce flashy new features, it's this kind of consistent after-sales support that defines a lens's longevity. If you want to eliminate even the slightest hint of instability when pressing the shutter, this is a must-install."
